Fierce fight for civil servant posts

AN estimated 1.3 million young Chinese will compete for 18,000 civil servant posts in central government departments and their local branches this weekend.

Yesterday afternoon, exams of extra skills were held for applicants competing for posts with foreign language requirements and those for posts of the China Banking Regulatory Commission.

Today, all applicants will take the general exam.

Among them, about 88,000 applicants are from Beijing, said a report from yesterday's Beijing Times.

The city has adopted various measures to prevent cheating in the exams.

For the first time, devices have been installed in the examination sites to block cell phone signals so that applicants can not use cell phones for cheating, the newspaper said in its report.

In addition, vans with monitoring devices will patrol around the sites to detect suspicious wireless signals, the report said.

According to a statement from the State Administration of Civil Service last month, the number of qualified applicants for the exam has declined for two consecutive years.
