Independent colleges Independent colleges are the private sector of public universities, which offers for-profit degree education for those who are not admitted to public universities. They were first set up in Zhejiang as a business model since the 1990s, yet a national reform has aimed to transform them into vocational or private universities independent of their affiliated universities since 2019. For example, Zhejiang University City College and Ningbo Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University were transformed into public universities, with the latter renamed as NingboTech University. The reform led to students' protests in 2021, after which the government suspended the reform. In Zhejiang, the reforms for Hangzhou Dianzi University Information Engineering School, Zhejiang Gongshang University Hangzhou College of Commerce, Zhijiang College of Zhejiang University of Technology had since been suspended.
