Liu Ling, a 28-year-old from Anhui province who took the exam last year, said the increasing number of applicants showed young people desired a stable life.
"Compared with the positions offered by companies, being a civil servant is a rather stable job, especially for young women, because the sound welfare system means their career prospects won't be greatly influenced by marriage or having a baby," she said.
Liu said she failed the exam last year.
"I was upset at first," she said. "Thankfully, I found a new job earlier this year and have had time to think about the failure. Maybe I will join the exam next year."
