304 women pass level-1 civil service test A record 304 women passed the top level civil service exam for "career" positions this fiscal year, up 40 from a year earlier for the sixth straight year of rise, the National Personnel Authority said June 21. The authority said the women accounted for 17.3 percent of the 1,756 examinees who passed the exam. Passing the exam is generally required for appointment to "career" civil service positions leading to senior posts in the nation's powerful bureaucracy. The overall competition ratio was one to 19, up from 18.2 in the previous exam. Three-quarters of all successful candidates, or 1,322, were from national universities this fiscal year. The University of Tokyo, the traditional training ground for bureaucrats, ranked top with 498, the personnel authority said. The two top private universities -- Waseda and Keio -- accounted for 125 and 85 of the successful candidates, respectively.
