The institute is currently providing individual guidance to applicants who have already submitted their applications. After confirming the applicants' intentions and relevant documents, the subsequent procedures will proceed.

To prevent recurrence, the institute plans to inspect the security system of the recruitment information system, update the emergency response manual, and gradually expand the backup system for the recruitment system.

We will take all necessary measures to ensure that no applicant is disadvantaged by this incident and will do our utmost to ensure a fair and transparent recruitment process."
