Each secondary school organized consultation teams consisting of school leaders, expert professors, academic discipline leaders, and student representatives to provide professional advisory services for prospective students and parents. They showcased achievements in national academic competitions and guided students in clarifying their professional directions.
At the event, prospective students and parents watched the university's admissions promotional videos, such as "Rendezvous with Dreams, Striving for First-Class—A Letter from Hunan University of Technology and Business to College Entrance Examination Candidates," and enjoyed captivating cultural and technological performances. The young scientific innovation team from the Xiangjiang Laboratory presented a performance and demonstration of embodied intelligent robots, full of technological sophistication.

Second, there has been a full expansion of flagship majors. The undergraduate admissions plan has been increased by 550 students, with a focus on allocating additional spots to flagship majors such as artificial intelligence, electronic information engineering, and data science and big data technology. Third, several new undergraduate majors have been added, including quantum information science, energy storage science and engineering, digital humanities, and music therapy. These programs aim to cultivate interdisciplinary talent to meet future technological competition and support high-quality industrial development. Fourth, there is a strengthened focus on outstanding innovative talent cultivation.
