[법률저널=이상연 기자] In 2021, the number of candidates for the 5th grade public loan and diplomatic candidate selection test was confirmed to be 348. This decreased by 6.3% from last year (370), but the number of starters increased and decreased for each job category, and the joys were mixed.

In particular, while the number of technical workers increased, the decline in administrative jobs was so great that the PSAT’s threshold is expected to increase further when the addition of 7th grade bond candidates.

Competition is expected to intensify this year as the number of recruits for general administration and finance, which are major divisions in the administrative profession, has been remarkably decreased.

This year, the general administration (nationwide) is 111 people. This is nine people less than last year, and it is the lowest number of people in the past 10 years.

Recruitment for regional classification is also the lowest in recent years. This year, only 21 people were selected, down 7 from last year. Recruitment to the region decreased in all attempts with two or more people, including Seoul, excluding Jeonnam and Gyeongnam. Among them, in Daejeon, Ulsan, and Gangwon, which were selected last year,’Tio’ disappeared this year, and the test takers in these regions were struck. On the other hand, Jeonnam and Gyeongnam increased by one each.

Finance, which is the second largest selection after general administration, is also the lowest in recent years. The number of people selected this year was only 65, down 7 from last year (72). If the financial economy, which was selected from 70 to 80 every year, drops to 60, the competition rate is expected to increase this year.

Despite the declining number of administrative personnel, the number of international commerce has increased by one from last year to nine, allowing relevant candidates to be relieved. There were concerns that the number of recruits will decrease further this year as the number of recruits has recently declined, but rather, the trend has ended with an increase.

The education administration was confirmed this year as 6 persons given by 1 person. As it belongs to the series with the largest decline from 12 to 7 last year, the relevant test takers could not hide their embarrassment, saying,’Why are you thundering?’ The education administration has maintained a’double digit’ since 2016, but it is expected to decrease to the level before 2015 again, further intensifying competition.

This year’s legal administration has increased by one to four. Until now, the number of legal administration has continued to decline, and the prospect of replacing lawyers with career competitive employment exams has come out, but this year the number of personnel has increased.

In addition, most of the few serials who were selected with about 2 people kept the number of people selected, but the number of immigration officers decreased from 3 to 2. In general, protection positions, which were selected on a biennial basis, are selected for three consecutive years, and the relevant candidates are expected to be displeased. In addition, there were two Tios this year, which could not be selected for two consecutive years.

Unlike administrative positions, the number of technical positions this year increased by 12.7% from 71 to 80. Looking at the number of people selected by major series, the number of civil engineering works with the largest number of people selected increased by 2 from 12 to 14. However, national recruitment was the same as last year, with eight people, and regional recruitment increased by two.

This year, the number of general machines was remarkable. The number of general machines increased by 50% from 8 to 12. The chemical jobs also doubled. Last year, it was only 5, but this year it has increased significantly to 10 (8 from nationwide, 2 from local recruits). The increase in computer development was also noticeable. Computer development was 7 people, up 4 people from last year. Environmental jobs also increased from three to six.

In contrast, the number of construction workers decreased from 11 to 8. The number of local recruits remained unchanged at 3, but 3 people decreased nationwide. General agriculture also decreased significantly from 4 to 1, and communication technology jobs also decreased from 6 to 4.

The most eye-catching in the 2020 selection was the diplomatic candidate selection test. In 2020, the number increased to 50, an increase of 10 from 2019. In particular, the number of students in general diplomacy increased by 14, making the test takers resentful.

However, this year, the number of diplomatic candidates (general diplomacy) has been adjusted to 40, returning to the previous level. In particular, from this year, candidates for diplomats will be selected for regional diplomacy and professional diplomacy through the career competitive employment examination for 5th grade foreign officials.

Accordingly, for diplomatic candidates, only general diplomacy is selected. Last year, there were 46 people in general diplomacy, but this year it was 40 people, down 13%.

Level 5 (including diplomatic candidate selection test) in 2021 will be held on March 6. The first successful applicants will be announced on April 7. Applications for the 5th grade public loan and the diplomatic candidate selection test are accepted from February 5th to 7th.

For the convenience of the examinee, the application time was set to be available from 09 to 21:00 and 24 hours during the application period.

Meanwhile, with the release of the selection staff in 2021, the 5th grade public bond PSAT also started a full-fledged race. Accordingly, the legal journal PSAT aptitude test will also be anchored in earnest from the 2nd. However, on the 2nd, the site was replaced online in accordance with the government’s’special quarantine measures for the year-end and New Year’.

Legal journals are considering convenient support in many ways so that they can study PSAT efficiently even in the non-face-to-face era. First of all, it was decided to send a set of questionnaires to the online candidates in batches every Monday after the exam was over.

On the effective date, you can take the test online at the same time as on the actual site, and a set of questionnaires (question paper + explanation paper + 3 OMR answer sheets) will be delivered free of charge by courier so that you can review again later.

Accordingly, online candidates can solve the problem directly on the monitor, and download and solve the problem sheet in advance. You can download the questionnaire from 2 hours before the test time, and you must enter the answer directly online to check the score statistics.

Like this, after taking the online test, you can get an opportunity to review and solve problems like a real test at home.

While the spread of Corona 19 has not subsided, it has decided to send out a set of questionnaires for free to provide convenience to online candidates. You can take it online on the day of the test and solve the problem at home like a real game.

In addition, it was decided to provide online candidates with an opportunity to receive a scholarship worth 16 million won. This is a measure according to the difficulty of taking the field test.

In order to be eligible for the scholarship in the first place, I had to take a total of 5 times, including J4~J7 of the’Practical PSAT National Mock Test’ J7 and F1 of the’Final PSAT National Mock Test’.

However, online candidates for the 13th PSAT scholarship selection in 2021 were also eligible if the conditions were met. Therefore, even if they apply for the scholarship selection round online, they can be selected as scholarship students with excellent grades.

The 13th PSAT scholarship in 2021 is 16 million won. This year, in addition to the existing scholarships, a scholarship to encourage successful applicants has been added.

The scholarship to encourage successful applicants is a donation activity at the level of Pro Bono, with the intention of giving back to the candidates who received the help of the legal journal PSAT. Scholarships are voluntarily donated to legal journals by successful applicants and are anonymous according to the will of the contributor.

Under the sponsorship of Sarangsaem, a legal public interest foundation, a scholarship of 1 million won each is provided to 5 students who are having difficulty in studying due to financial reasons.

Those with excellent grades will receive 2 million won for the Future Award in the Legal Journal, 1.5 million won for each of the Hope Awards (2 people), 500,000 won for each talent award (10 people), and 500,000 won each for encouraging successful students (2 people).
