Alternate Entry System

The Alternate Entry System (資蔭制 Shīnsei) is an alternative to the Examination System.
==Information==
The Alternate Entry System functions on the belief that family status and the achievements of ancestors should be honoured. And so, descendants of high-ranking and influential officials are given positions in the Imperial Court unconditionally. Most are of noble birth. The amount of successful candidates from this system, compared to the amount of successful candidates from the Imperial Exams, is around half-and-half. At the present time, it is nearly impossible for people to become officials though their parents' connections and influences.
