Since 20 15, many training institutions have advertised "guaranteed classes" to attract students who are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, claiming that they can be admitted to famous schools such as 985, 2 1 1. However, these "security classes" are expensive, starting from almost 10,000 yuan, and some even reach more than 65,438+10,000 yuan. Can the expensive "guaranteed class" really ensure that you are admitted to a prestigious school? Is the tuition fee above 65438+ 10,000 yuan really worth it?
In order to succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination, I spent 60 thousand yuan to sign up for a "guaranteed class"
In a rented house near the intersection of Wenhua Road and Beihuan Expressway in Zhengzhou City, the reporter met Zhao Feng (a pseudonym), 25 years old. Two years ago, Zhao Feng graduated from two colleges in Zhengzhou. He took the postgraduate entrance examination the year he graduated, but unfortunately, he failed from Sun Shan. "If you can't pass the exam, then look for a job first." So Zhao Feng got a job as a salesman in a company in Zhengzhou. Two years later, he jumped three times. Every time he jumps, he feels more and more that he should take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Not long ago, Zhao Feng relentlessly quit his job and concentrated on the postgraduate entrance examination, aiming at a 2 1 1 college in Beijing. I'm worried that she hasn't touched a book for many years and her competitiveness is too weak. In addition to studying hard, Zhao Feng also looked for remedial classes for postgraduate entrance examination everywhere, hoping to be a success. In his search, he found that many institutions are under the banner of "guaranteed classes", claiming that they have one-on-one tutoring with famous teachers. Many training institutions also posted photos of students admitted to prestigious schools through "guaranteed classes" in previous years on the publicity page.
After consulting a number of institutions, Zhao Feng found that the "guarantee class" was quite expensive. "Minimum 1 10,000 to 20,000. If you want to go to 985 colleges, you have to get more than 65438+ 10,000. " Zhao Feng said that he had saved 20,000 to 30,000 yuan for his work in the past two years, and his parents subsidized 30,000 yuan. Finally, he gritted his teeth and signed up for a class of about 60 thousand. "I just signed up for a week, and now there are only open classes and one-on-one online tutoring classes for famous teachers." Zhao Feng said that the chances of winning may be even greater. "If you fight, even if you can't pass the exam, the training institution promises to refund some of the fees and you can take the exam again for free next year."
Investigation | All kinds of postgraduate entrance examinations are less than 20,000 yuan and more than 654.38+10,000 yuan.
1 Why is it so expensive?
The training institution said: help contact the tutor during the interview.
According to the reporter's investigation, almost all postgraduate training institutions in all parts of the country are pushing for guaranteeing the bottom, guaranteeing the bottom or recording classes in various names, and the fees are not cheap, ranging from 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan to 6,543,800 yuan. The words "guarantee", "guarantee" and "guarantee" have become the golden signboard of the postgraduate training market in recent years, but what is hidden behind this?
The "one-to-one" and "985 College Registration Class" launched by a training institution in University Road, Zhengzhou City, costs from 65,438+10,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan according to the students' personal learning situation. The staff in charge of reception said that the cost of "Bank of China" is generally around 60,000 yuan. "Single-subject courses won't be so expensive, but in the interview stage, we will help you contact your tutor and make adjustments. Our training institutions are all over the country, and teachers from prestigious schools are invited to re-test. " When the reporter asked for more details, the staff member became secretive.
"Every training institution has certain channels, and the competition among peers is fierce. Some resources cannot be clearly stated. " The person in charge of a postgraduate training institution in Wenhua Road, Zhengzhou City revealed that the so-called "contacts" of some institutions are to find graduate students or teaching assistants of a professional teacher, and obtain information such as teacher handouts and latest research trends through them. Only a few people may contact the tutor through these students.
The insider said: If you refund 100%, there must be something fishy in the contract.
If the "sky-high price" fails to pass smoothly, will it be fully refunded?
The reporter learned that the so-called full refund of fees by many institutions is "fake": the price list provided by the training institution Daxue Road clearly shows that if the tuition fee is 66,800 yuan, the refund will be 10000 yuan.
The packages provided by a postgraduate training institution in Dongfeng Road, Zhengzhou range from high to low, from more than 10,000 to 70,000 to 80,000. According to the person in charge of the agency, the package card is handled in the form of an agreement. More than 10 thousand yuan is a failure in the exam, and there is no refund. Higher fees range from 5000 to 10000 yuan.
A graduate student who used to substitute for the "guaranteed class" told reporters, "Many people think that the more expensive the better. In fact, these are all publicity gimmicks of the school. " He said that the so-called refund is credible if it is 30%, because the organization still does not lose money, but if it is 100%, there must be something fishy in the contract, which will eventually make you unable to refund. "20 10, a candidate who spent more than 90,000 yuan in Beijing, was finally compensated because of the refund problem and the training institution."
Reminder | If you want to succeed, you have to study hard. It is not reliable to register for class.
"How can I ensure that I am admitted to the graduate school if I report to the insurance class?" This is almost the reporter's first reaction when he contacted many college teachers.
Teacher Li of a university in Zhengzhou said that students apply for "guaranteed classes" more for psychological comfort. "If you want to succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination, you have to study hard." Teacher Li said that after the written test is passed, there will be a strict interview. Generally, 3-5 teachers attend the interview. Candidates also draw lots temporarily to decide the interview order, so it is impossible for training institutions to predict in advance.
Feng, a graduate student from a university in Kaifeng, said that the most important thing for postgraduate entrance examination is to rely on yourself to thoroughly understand the things in the textbook and increase the width and breadth of your knowledge. It is really unreliable to "guarantee the record" by signing up for class. (Editor: Yang Yang)
