Correction –

China’s college entrance examination system may be the weirdest one around. The standards for students who aren’t from Shanghai are different. Shanghainese students have many more benefits if they apply for universities in Shanghai. That’s an interesting concept of equality, to say the least. But when it comes to master’s degrees, partiality is non-existent to some extent. Students from anywhere applying for the same university need to meet the same requirements. That’s more fair for applicants.

For Master’s degrees the system is more impartial.
