CSC Eligibility

The scheduled Career Service Examination Pen and Paper Tests are for applicants who are still eligible and want to apply for a permanent government position or a promotion. The eligibility exams also give opportunities to employees under job orders and service contracts.

According to CSC, professional eligibility is required for appointment to second-level (technical) government positions that require at least a bachelor’s degree in education. Subprofessional eligibility applies to first-level (clerical) government positions that require less than four years of college studies. Professional eligibility may also be used for clerical positions. Both eligibilities, though, cannot be used for positions involving the practice of the profession and those covered by special laws.

CSC conducts the Career Service Exam and Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) twice a year for both professional and subprofessional levels to cater to the growing number of examinees.
