The concept of provincial examination:

Provincial Examination is the abbreviation of "Provincial Civil Service Examination". As a matter of fact, most provinces adopt the way of the joint examination at the provincial, city, county and township levels to conduct the provincial civil service examination in a unified way, which is the so-called "provincial examination".

Article 22 of the Civil Service Law stipulates that the recruitment of civil servants by local organs at all levels shall be organized by the provincial civil service authorities, and the municipal civil service authorities with districts may be authorized to organize them when necessary. Note that Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Tianjin are municipalities directly under the central government and belong to the provincial level, so their civil service examinations are provincial rather than municipal.

Recruitment scope of provincial (city) civil service examinations Local provincial (city) civil service examinations provide all positions of provincial (city) organs and units.

For candidates, local household registration is generally required, mainly for local residents to recruit. However, for special groups, it is not required to have a household registration in this province. In this regard, the common practice in all provinces is that college graduates in this province can apply for the exam, fresh graduates from local colleges can apply for the exam, and those who have no local household registration but are graduate students or above can apply for the exam.

Note that the specific policies of different provinces will still be different. For example, a few positions in individual provinces require a city (county) local household registration, so the introduction of this article is for reference only. For details, please check the specific recruitment announcements and job tables in each province. If in doubt, you can consult the local civil service bureau and the specific employer.
