Selected Graduates, referred to as the Group for short, is a candidate selected by provincial party committees and organizations from institutions of higher learning to grass-roots work in a planned way, as a reserve candidate for leading cadres of the party and government and a candidate for high-quality staff of party and government organs at or above the county level. Selected Graduates is a kind of civil servant, who prepares for civil servants directly after employment.

Selected Graduates is divided into directional selection and centralized selection. Directional selection is for key universities such as Tsinghua and Peking University, and is arranged for civil servants in directly under the authority, provinces and cities; Centralized selection and transfer is aimed at recruiting colleges and universities inside and outside the province, and arranging civil servant positions in township streets. The selection method adheres to the principle of "fairness, equality, competition and merit-based", and adopts a combination of voluntary registration, recommendation by party organizations in colleges and universities, and organization of departmental examinations.

Selected Graduates's registration conditions not only meet the registration conditions of civil servants in general countries, but also require outstanding students with good political quality, interest in party and government work and development potential. Mainly select undergraduates and postgraduates, who are produced by party member and outstanding student cadres. Most provinces require undergraduate students to be fresh graduates, and * * * party member student cadres are indispensable; Postgraduate conditions can be relaxed as appropriate, and generally only party member and fresh graduates are required.

Selected Graduates is a reserve cadre held by the organization departments of provincial and municipal county committees; The civil servants recruited are ordinary government workers.

Selected Graduates was promoted much faster than civil servants. General undergraduate graduates are appointed as clerks, masters as minor subjects and doctors as subjects. Among the cadres in our country, many young and promising leading cadres and quite a few senior party and government cadres are from Selected Graduates. Therefore, the Organization Department has always regarded Selected Graduates's work as the "source project" for outstanding young cadres.
