Gaokao Results 2026: In a significant development, millions of Chinese students who took the Gaokao, China's gruelling national university entrance examination, in early June are turning to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to choose the right universities, colleges and academic programmes.
Conducted once a year, the Gaokao plays a decisive role in shaping a student's academic future. A candidate's score determines not only the university they can attend but also the academic programmes for which they are eligible.
Highlighting this trend, Yu Jing, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in India, shared a video on X showing how AI-powered tools are helping students make informed decisions about higher education.
🎓 AI is now helping Chinese students navigate one of life's biggest decisions — choosing the right university major after the Gaokao.

According to the video, students face one of the biggest decisions of their lives after the Gaokao-choosing the right university and academic major. AI-powered tools analyse admission probabilities, career prospects and students' personal strengths using data-driven insights to help them make informed choices and plan their academic and professional futures.
Earlier, on June 10, Yu Jing shared another post on X, stating that the world's largest examination had concluded smoothly for nearly 13 million (1.3 crore) students. "Factories paused. Roads quieted. The entire nation rallied for its students," she wrote.
Her remarks have drawn attention in India at a time when the country's examination system is under scrutiny following the cancellation of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2026.
The Gaokao was conducted from June 7 to 8 this year, with around 13 million candidates appearing for the examination. The highly competitive test serves as the primary gateway to higher education in China.
