The minimum admission score for 985 universities is between 558-676.

Project 985 refers to the major decision made by the State Council of the People's Republic of China at the turn of the century to build a first-class university with world-leading levels.

The first batch of 9 universities under the “985 Project” (i.e., the nine-university alliance) include Peking University, Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology of China, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xi’an Jiao Tong University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University,

Harbin Institute of Technology, a total of 39 universities approved for construction under the “985 Project”.

On June 7, 2016, the official website of the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Declaring the Invalidation of a Group of Normative Documents", announced the "Measures for the Implementation and Management of the Construction of the "211 Project", and the "Opinions on the Continuing Implementation of the "985 Project" Construction Project", etc.

A batch of normative documents have become invalid, and the expired normative documents can no longer be used as the basis for administrative management.

On November 28, 2019, the Ministry of Education issued a statement on its official website: It has coordinated key construction projects such as the "211 Project" and the "985 Project" into the construction of "world-class universities and first-class disciplines".

Advantages of 985 universities: 1. Strong support and financial support from the state. The state allocates 1% of central fiscal revenue every year to support these universities in building "world-class universities".

Peking University and Tsinghua University, which have the highest rankings, each received an allocation of 1.8 billion from the Ministry of Education.

2. There are many additional value-added projects, such as pilot graduate schools, the Everest Plan, the Outstanding Engineer Plan, the national training of high-level graduate students, and the National Study Abroad Fund-sponsored pilot universities for studying abroad. Most of the 985 Project colleges are included in the first batch of support.

3. There are advantages in job hunting and employment. Most top companies, including state-owned enterprises and foreign-funded companies, have preferences for 985 and 211, and many companies even directly select students who are not 985 or 211 during the preliminary review of resumes.
