A competitive examination to recruit civil servants last year (for illustration only)

The department is collecting opinions from experts about the plan before such examinations are organized by the city People’s Committee.

The positions for which exams will be held include directors and vice directors of departments or public administrative agencies, and chairpersons and vice chairpersons of districts’ People’s Committees.

In addition, examinations will be also conducted yearly to select heads and deputy heads of functional divisions of districts’ People’s Committees, the city’s departments, or other units under management of the city authorities, the Interior Department said.

It is noteworthy that those who are not State employees can take part in all of these competitive exams.

Candidates are required to be under 45 years old and there must be at least three candidates for each position.

Female candidates will be considered the winner in case they and their male competitors have the same highest score in an examination for a certain position, the Interior Department said.
