This article constructs an evaluation index for the innovative practical ability of management graduate students, conducts a questionnaire survey on the master's and doctoral students at Jilin University, uses the entropy method to comprehensively evaluate their innovative practical ability, and conducts factor detection analysis on the impact of academic competitions on innovative practical ability through the geographic detector model. The results show that the core factors that have the greatest impact on the innovative practical ability of management graduate students in academic competitions are: the number of participants in academic competitions, the workload undertaken in academic competitions, the work responsible in academic competitions, and the number of times mentors guide them. The interaction type between any two driving factors is a two-factor enhancement relationship.
