The Civil Servant Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that civil servants who hold non-leadership positions and other equivalent positions below the chief clerk shall be employed by means of public examination, strict inspection, equal competition and merit-based admission. When recruiting civil servants in ethnic autonomous areas in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, appropriate care should be given to ethnic minority applicants in accordance with the law and relevant regulations. The recruitment of civil servants of the central organs and their directly affiliated institutions shall be organized and implemented by the competent department of civil servants of the central state. The recruitment of civil servants in local organs at all levels shall be organized by the provincial civil servant department, and when necessary, the provincial civil servant department may authorize the municipal civil servant department to organize. The examination subjects are self-determined, and there are generally written tests and interviews. The written test subjects are different. The written test subjects in Beijing, Shandong, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangdong provinces are "Administrative Professional Ability Test" and "Shen Lun".
Students who want to apply for the local civil service examination should pay attention to the recruitment brochures issued by the local government for targeted review. At present, as far as the trend of civil service examination reform is concerned, it is more inclined to the examination of "administrative professional ability test" and "application for theory"
The examination for civil servants in central and state organs includes written examination (public and professional subjects) and interview. Previously, the written examination of public subjects was conducted in accordance with posts A and B respectively. The public * * * subjects of written examination for Class A positions are "Administrative Professional Ability Test" (I) and "Application"; The public * * * subject of the written test for Class B positions is "Administrative Professional Ability Test" (B).
The written test and interview time of professional subjects shall be notified by the recruitment department itself. Since 2006, both Class A and Class B have to take the same subjects, namely "Administrative Professional Ability Test" and "Shen Lun", but the proposition of "Administrative Professional Ability Test" is different.
