BEIJING, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) — China held its first national examination for civil service entry in 2026 on Sunday after raising the age limit from 35.
This year, more than 3.7 million people took the exam to obtain positions in the country's central government agencies and their branches. This means that, on average, approximately 98 applicants competed for each vacancy.
According to authorities, approximately 70 percent of these vacancies are reserved for university graduates.
China has raised the age limit for the exam to 38, a move that has been hailed as a welcome move to break the 35-year barrier that previously existed in the labour market.
For graduates of master's and doctoral programs, the age limit has been further increased to 43 years, authorities announced. -0-
