higher civil service examination


Explanation:
Then, in July 1887, the first general-examination ordinance was promulgated, extending examinations from the judiciary to all parts of the government. The new system set up two levels of civil-service examinations: higher examinations for sonin officials and ordinary ones for hannin officials. It retained, however, the privileged status of Tokyo Imperial University (Todai ) graduates. Just as they were exempt from the bar and judicial examinations, so they would continue to be exempt from the higher civil-service examinations
