University's graduates proving popular

Graduates of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics are being snapped up by employers, a testament to the university's reputation and its ability to place former students into good positions, its president said.

The university, founded in 1923 in Jiangxi province, traditionally one of the country's less-developed areas, has maintained a graduate employment rate of more than 95 percent for three consecutive years.

The university was selected by the Ministry of Education in 2010 as one of the top 50 universities for placing graduates into good positions. Its efforts were also recognized by the State Council in 2012.
