China’s
civil servants exam attracts 1.3 mln applicants

More than 1.3 million people have been accepted to sit
China’s 2011 national service examination to select
government officials after online registration closed
late Sunday.

They included 327,000 applicants competing for posts in
central government and provincial-level organizations,
said a statement on the website of the State
Administration of Civil Service (SACS).

Of those, 191,000, or 58.4 percent, had at least two
years experience working in “grassroots” positions, said
the statement.

Another 794,000 were for vacancies at institutions of
county-level or below, with 57.2 percent of them new
college graduates.

Some 168,000 more applicants were awaiting for results
from recruiting bodies who would decide by 6 p.m.
Tuesday whether they were qualified to sit the exam.

The written test of the 2011 national civil service
examination is to be held on Dec. 5 in major cities
across China.

The annual nationwide test, sat by 927,000 people last
year, continues to be seen as a route to a stable job
and enviable benefits in China, where every year 6
million college graduates join the labor force.

The central government plans to recruit more than 16,000
public servants next year, 1,000 more than in 2010.

In a move to reform the civil service exam, the
government has decided to offer more vacancies to
applicants with at least two years of grassroots
experience and to reserve vacancies for college
graduates with experience as village officials, as well
as workers and farmers.

Among this year’s qualified applicants, just 171 are
workers and farmers running for reserved vacancies in
customs, state taxation and railway police at
county-level or below.

In its earlier statements, the SACS did not specify the
exact number of reserved vacancies for workers and
farmers.
