Not the same thing. Selected Graduates is the official administrative establishment of civil servants, but there is no establishment of university student village officials. Now even the policy of adding extra points to the civil service examination has been cancelled, but the national civil service examination will still take out some positions for university student village officials to apply for.

Selected Graduates's exam is the same as the civil service exam. The selection process is fair and transparent. In some places, college student village officials are not particularly formal and have loopholes to drill. This is also one of the reasons for the difference in gold content between the two.

Moreover, Selected Graduates's qualification requirements are different from those of university student village officials, requiring party member to be a major student cadre and a "three-good" student above class. However, university student village officials did not require it. You can get a general idea of the difference between them.
