What is the difference between the joint entrance examination and the non-joint entrance examination in public institutions?

Joint entrance examination and non-joint entrance examination in public institutions are two different ways to recruit staff in public institutions in China, and the difference between them lies mainly in the process and scope of recruitment.

Joint examination of public institutions:

Joint recruitment: the joint examination for public institutions is a recruitment examination jointly organized by several public institutions, usually a one-time written examination covering the recruitment positions of several public institutions. The purpose of the entrance examination is to improve the recruitment efficiency and reduce the repeated recruitment process.

Wide range: the joint entrance examination usually covers multiple regions and positions, attracting more candidates to participate. This means that candidates can have the opportunity to choose between different institutions.

Fierce competition: Due to the wide coverage, the competition for the joint entrance examination of public institutions is usually fierce, and candidates need to perform well in all subjects to stand out.

Written test: The entrance examination is mainly written test, including comprehensive quality interview and post knowledge interview. The content written by different units may be different.

Non-joint entrance examination of public institutions:

Individual recruitment: Non-joint entrance examination for public institutions is a recruitment examination independently organized by a single public institution, which is only applicable to the recruitment positions of this unit.

Narrow scope: the non-joint entrance examination is only aimed at the specific positions of the unit, and the scope is relatively narrow.

Less competition: because there is only one specific recruitment position, the competition is relatively small, and the probability of admission may be higher than that of the joint entrance examination.

The examination method is not necessarily: different institutions may adopt different recruitment methods, including written examination, interview and comprehensive quality interview, depending on the recruitment arrangement of the unit.

Generally speaking, the joint entrance examination of public institutions has a wider coverage and more intense competition, but it also provides more choices. The scope of the non-joint entrance examination in public institutions is relatively narrow and the competition is relatively small, but it is only applicable to specific positions. Which way to choose depends on candidates' interests, career goals and the requirements of the recruiting unit. No matter which way you choose, you need to be fully prepared to improve the chances of admission.
