First, the five major lines (that is, in the process of establishing diplomatic relations between workers and peasants): the examination form is computer examination, with more questions and choices. Generally speaking, it is a single choice, and occasionally there may be multiple choices, including: administrative ability test (referred to as line test), professional knowledge (macro, micro, monetary, financial and commercial banking related knowledge), common sense (law, current affairs, computer), and English.
The topics are generally between 150 and 250, and the number of topics varies from bank to bank. The examination time is usually two hours, occasionally two and a half or three hours. Examination and English account for the most points, the most questions, and other questions are less. Exams are generally organized by banks themselves.
Second, the central bank (the People's Bank of China): This civil servant does, but PBOC will organize campus recruitment. Very few people are recruited, usually one or two at a time. The content of the exam is similar to the above, but there are many laws or regulations about some commercial banks. (I didn't attend this, the exact time is not very clear)
Third, commercial banks (that is, investment promotion, people's livelihood, Pudong Development, etc.). ): The examination form is generally written, and occasionally several banks adopt computer examination. The number of questions will be less than the five major lines, and the time will generally be between one and a half to two and a half. The content of the exam is similar to that of the five major banks, but there are often banks that don't test their personality, some banks don't test their English, and some banks don't test their common sense. In short, they 100% take the exam and professional knowledge, and others can take the exam or not. The examination is not necessarily organized by the bank itself, but may be entrusted to other recruitment agencies, such as Zhilian and Worry-Free Future. If entrusted to the recruitment agency, the questions are generally simple, and the original questions of the national examination may even appear in the exam.
