Article 4

The number of students accepted by department (institute, college, degree program) through the direct-admission process shall not exceed 40 percent of the total admission quotas for doctoral students permitted by the Ministry of Education for that academic year. However, this does not apply to cases where the quota for direct enrollment in a doctoral program is utilized within other departments, institutes, or degree programs of the same college.

After the final round of external doctoral recruitment for the current academic year has been completed by each department, institute, college, or degree program, any remaining unfilled quotas may be allocated to the quota for direct admission to the doctoral program. The total quota for direct admission to the doctoral program after such allocation shall be limited to forty percent (40%) of the total doctoral admission quota approved by the Ministry of Education for the university for the current academic year.

Following the allocations described in the preceding two paragraphs, the doctoral student quotas for each department, institute, college, or degree program shall not be filled entirely through direct admission. However, this restriction shall not apply to any of the following circumstances:

1. The approved enrollment quota for the doctoral program in the department, institute, college, or degree program is one person;

2. A talent cultivation program or project approved by the Ministry of Education;

These quotas must be included in the university’s total admission quotas permitted by the Ministry of Education for that academic year. If a student admitted for direct admission into a doctoral program during the current academic year is forced by circumstances to withdraw his application after it has been approved, the admission quota that becomes available may be applied by other graduates during the winter vacation.
