The next Civil Service Exam is on March 15, 2020. You can start filing your applications on December 16, 2019 until January 15, 2020. Now, if you're planning to take the next CSE-PPT, here are some things you need to know:
FAQ #1: Can I take the Civil Service Exam?
- You can take the CSE-PPT, if you meet the following qualifications:
- You are a Filipino citizen
- You are at least 18 years old on the date of filing of application
- You are of good moral character
- You have not been convicted by final judgment of an offense or crime involving moral turpitude, or disgraceful or immoral conduct, dishonesty, examination irregularity, drunkenness, or addiction to drugs
- You have not been dishonorably discharged from military service, or dismissed for cause from any civilian position in the government
- And, you have not taken the same level of Career Service Examination, regardless of mode (COMEX or CSE Paper and Pen Test), within the last three months before the date of examination
FAQ #2: What are the application requirements for the Civil Service Exam?
- Fully accomplished Application Form (CS Form No. 100, Revised 2017). (The spaces for “Signature of Applicant” and “Right Thumbmark” on the Application Form should be left blank. These shall be accomplished in the presence of the CSC processor)
- Four (4) pieces of identical ID pictures with specifications, as follows: Passport size (4.5 cm x 3.5 cm or 1.8 inches x 1.4 inches) Colored, with white background and Printed on good quality photo paper Taken within three (3) months prior to filing of application In standard close-up shot (from shoulder level up with the head and face occupying at least 80% of the picture and with the name tag positioned at approximately 1 inch or 2.54 cm below the chin) In bare face (with no eyeglasses, colored contact lens, or any accessories that may cover the facial features) Showing left and right ears, taken in full-face view directly facing the camera With neutral facial expression, and both eyes open With HANDWRITTEN name tag legibly showing SIGNATURE OVER PRINTED FULL NAME in the format: First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name, and Extension Name, if any
- Original and photocopy of any of the following ID cards, which must be valid, and contains the name, clear picture, date of birth and signature of the applicant, and the name and signature of the issuing agency’s current head/authorized representative ( Driver’s License, Passport, PRC License, SSS ID, GSIS ID, Voter’s ID, BIR ID, PhilHealth ID, Current Company/Office ID, Current School ID, Police Clearance, Postal ID, or Barangay ID and Clearance) For applicants without date of birth in their ID card/s, original and photocopy of Birth Certificate issued/authenticated by the National Statistics Office For applicants holding dual citizenship under R.A. 9225, original and photocopy of Certification of Retention/Reacquisition of Philippine Citizenship issued by the Bureau of Immigration
- Examination fee of Five Hundred Pesos (PhP 500.00)
FAQ #3: Should I go for the Professional level of the exam or should I take the Subprofessional level first?
The professional level eligibility naturally has more benefits than the subprofessional eligibility. If you pass the Subprofessional level exam, you’ll get the Career Service Subprofessional Eligibility appropriate for first level positions in the government. That means you can apply for clerical, trades, crafts, and custodial service positions.
On the other hand, passing the Professional level exam gives you the Career Service Professional Eligibility appropriate for appointment to both first level and second level positions in the government (jobs relating to professional, technical and scientific work - up to Division Chief). It is appropriate for executive/managerial positions in the second level, which are not appointed by the President.
The professional level exam is also generally more challenging than the subprofessional level. Both the number of test items and the subject coverage differ in each level. Some people advise taking the Subprofessional level of the CSE first before taking the Professional level exam.
FAQ #4: Where can I get an application form?
You can get a copy of the CS Form 100 at any Civil Service Field Office or you can also download and print one from the Downloads section of the CSC website (www.csc.gov.ph). If you can’t access the official CSC website, you can also download the application form here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sL-zv-BEPUDZ9LeSpl5VH_tw9Gr82DA8/view?usp=sharing.
FAQ #5: Where can I submit my CSE application?
You should submit your application personally at any CSC Regional Office or CSC Field Office near you. As with the application form, you can access the list of CSC offices on the CSC website, or under the Regional Offices section. I suggest you submit your application way before the deadline because most offices reach their quota for the examinees ahead of time.
Now that you know the basics, your next step should be to explore HOW to PASS the Civil Service Exam in your first take.
