Set up a work column on the government website, and set up a service window in the government service center or convenient service center, and continuously improve the level of convenient service for conscription.

Military service organs should take the initiative to strictly enforce the provisions of the conscription policy and ensure that college graduates are given priority in applying for conscription, in physical examinations, in political evaluations, and in approval for enlistment. The enlistment offices of the regions (cities) and counties that approve enlistment shall cooperate with colleges and universities to do a good job in retaining college students' student status (admission qualifications), tuition subsidies, and returning to school after retirement.

The education department should guide the municipal colleges and universities to promptly handle the formalities such as tuition compensation and retention of student status (admission qualifications) for enlisted college students. During the conscription period, the information office of the city government should coordinate with the major media to publish conscription information free of charge. The financial departments should allocate the relevant funds in full and in a timely manner. The departments of veterans' affairs should properly implement the work of rewarding college students for enlisting in the military and giving preferential treatment to the families of conscripts, resettling retired college students and soldiers, visiting and condolences, hanging glorious plaques, and sending good news. The departments of human resources and social security and state-owned assets should make overall plans and coordinate enterprises, public institutions, and other posts to do a good job in recruiting retired college students and soldiers.
