Cross-disciplinary exemption is generally conducted in the same subject category, and qualified candidates can also cross some majors in different subject categories.

Interdisciplinary is an educational term, which has two meanings: one is to go beyond the original professional boundaries and engage in the study of other majors, such as cross-disciplinary examinations and employment, and the other is to refer to majors that span more than two disciplines, such as educational technology. Compared with interdisciplinary subjects, interdisciplinary subjects in a broad sense refer to professional settings that span the discipline and specialty catalogue of the Ministry of Education, so it includes both interdisciplinary subjects and narrow interdisciplinary subjects.
