48 Evaluation

Points of evaluation Full professors/ associate professors are reviewed for every 5 years.

Assistant professors/ lecturers are reviewed for every 3 years.

Distinguished researchers/ teachers can be waived from evaluation subject to conditions.

49 Statistics Summary and Review

More than 70% of the undergraduates continued for master programs, 26% of whom chose to stay on mathematics or applied mathematics, 24.5% shift to commerce and management sciences, 27.5% shift to computer science and engineering, 5.6% shift to statistics, and 10.3% went abroad.

As for the master program, 83.3% chose to find a job. Particularly, 47.5% of them became high school math teachers. Only a few went on to continue for PhD programs (domestic or abroad), roughly 10% in average.
