MANILA – Individuals wanting to take the Aug. 11, 2024 Career Service Examination – Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) for both Professional and Subprofessional Levels may apply until June 13.

Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles said there will be more than 90 testing centers in 16 regions nationwide to accommodate individuals interested in obtaining eligibility for first and second level positions in the civil service.

“We are encouraging interested applicants to apply as early as possible since acceptance of applications shall be on a first-come, first-served basis and may be closed any time before the deadline once the CSC Regional or Field Office has already reached the target number of applicants. Hindi lamang ito magbibigay sa inyo ng mas maagang pagkakataon na maproseso ang inyong aplikasyon, kundi pati na rin ng pagkakataon na makapaghanda nang maigi para sa mga sumusunod na hakbang,” Nograles said in a statement.

The CSC reminded interested individuals of the following admission requirements to qualify for the CSE: Filipino citizen; at least 18 years old on the date of filing of application; has good moral character; has 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; and has not been dishonorably discharged from military service, or dismissed for cause from any civilian position in the government.

Moreover, applicants should not have taken the same level of Career Service Examination, either through PPT or Computerized Examination, within three months before the date of the exam, or from 11 May to 10 August 2024.

Individuals who meet these qualifications, regardless of educational attainment, must submit the following:
