Concerns arise for 'manipulated' exam results

BEIJING - The human resources authorities are investigating a case in which some candidates to government posts in Guizhou claimed that the results of the provincial civil servant recruitment exam were manipulated. It is alleged that the results of physical checks on candidates were tampered with, said a local official.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, which oversees the country's civil servant exams, dispatched a team on Saturday to Guizhou, in Southwest China, to investigate the case, Luo Yucheng, deputy director at the general office of Guizhou provincial department of human resources and social security, told China Daily on Monday.

As many as 133 of the 1,497 examinees who took the physical checks after passing the written exam and interview, were found to have an abnormal blood count, and thus disqualified, according to a report by China Youth Daily on Friday.
