Record number of hopefuls sit annual civil service exam (3)

Penalty for dishonesty
Li Yongxin, president of Zhonggong Education, which offers private training for exam hopefuls, said that in the past few years, only two thirds of applicants actually take the exam. But on Sunday, three fourths of the applicants did so.

Li attributed the increasing number of people taking the exam to higher costs for abandoning the exam and other measures introduced by civil service authorities.

People who pass the exam and interviews but ultimately pull out of the process, and those who are successfully recruited but turn down the position, will earn a credit record that will affect any future application for civil servant recruitment, said the administration.

The administration has also warned that anyone who cheats in the exam will not be allowed to reapply for five years, and people who organize group cheating or hire ghostwriters to take the exam will be banned for life.
