The high score of civil servants majoring in civil engineering is due to the difficulty of job competition, not the difficulty of the topic. Because there are too few jobs to choose from for civil engineering.

Popular majors in civil service examination include law, economics, Chinese language and literature, and management. Law corresponds to the public security system, economics corresponds to the financial systems of the National Development and Reform Commission, Finance Bureau and Commerce Commission, while Chinese language, literature and management are panaceas, which are applicable to offices, comprehensive departments and personnel departments of all units.

The corresponding civil engineering posts are basically in the urban construction system, mainly including the Planning Bureau, the Construction Management Committee, the Housing Authority, the Water Affairs Bureau, the Transportation Committee and the Greening Bureau. Although it seems that there are many units, in fact, the demand for jobs is very small every year.
