Township civil servants generally take the provincial examination.

The National Examination is a unit affiliated with the central government, such as the Taxation Bureau, which is vertically managed by the Central Administration of Taxation. Similar units include the Statistics Bureau, Meteorological Bureau, Materials Management Bureau, Customs and other units.

In addition, the County Party Committee Office, Organization Department, Discipline Inspection Commission, Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and other units all belong to the provincial examination, and they are also affiliated to local units. Generally speaking, the national exam is more difficult and the provincial exam is less difficult. You should apply for a position that suits you based on your actual situation.

The easiest way to distinguish whether a position is recruited by the provincial examination or the national examination is to look at the job list to which the position belongs. Whether it is issued by the national examination or the provincial examination. The provincial examination is a unified recruitment at the four levels of provinces, cities, counties and townships, while the national examination has a very core recruitment of central ministries and commissions. When looking at job listings, pay attention to which organizational level the position falls.
