In the senior year, civil servants are tested, and many positions have great advantages over those after graduation. A considerable number of national examination positions need fresh graduates. Some positions are limited to fresh graduates, and there are more opportunities to take advanced exams. Every year, in the recruitment of civil servants organized by the central authorities or provinces (cities, districts), some positions are limited to fresh graduates.

Generally speaking, the so-called fresh graduates refer to those who have not been employed and have kept their household registration, files and organizational relations in the original graduate school, employment departments of graduates at all levels, talent market and other places during their career choice (two years as stipulated by the state). According to this standard, senior students must belong to fresh graduates. After graduating from college or two or three years later, they no longer belong to fresh graduates, and many positions cannot be applied for.

For senior students who want to take the civil service exam, they can choose the national civil service exam after September and the provincial joint exam in March next year. There are obvious advantages for senior students to apply for the civil service examination, but there are also many places to pay attention to. For the senior students who are studying, they all take the examinations of civil servants and institutions as fresh graduates, and there are positions specially set for fresh graduates in such examinations. The number of applicants for such positions is generally relatively small, and the degree of competition is relatively small.
