China conducts the Gaokao 2025, its national college entrance examination, with 13.35 million students participating across the country. The two-day exam is essential for undergraduate admissions and is known for its high pressure and rigorous standards.
Students appear for subjects including Chinese, mathematics, English, and science or humanities streams, depending on their academic track. Local authorities deploy strict security protocols such as facial recognition and electronic surveillance to ensure fair conduct.
This year, many test centres report a peaceful environment, with students entering early and exams beginning on time. Support from families and schools remains strong, with many accompanying students to the exam venues.
Gaokao scores will determine placements in top universities, scholarships, and future career opportunities. Education officials remind students to remain calm and follow the rules during the examination. Results are expected to be announced by late June.
