About Civil Service Eligibility
Applicants who passed the CSE Professional Level are granted with the Career Service Professional Eligibility, which is a requirement for permanent appointment to first and second level positions in the government covering professional, technical, scientific, and managerial positions and requires at least four years of college studies.
On the other hand, Subprofessional Level passers shall be conferred the Career Service Subprofessional Eligibility, which shall be appropriate for permanent appointment to first level positions such as clerical, trades, crafts, and custodial service positions requiring less than four years of college studies.
However, the CSC said that eligibility alone does not guarantee employment in government service. Applicants must meet all the qualification standards of the position, which comprise education, training, experience, and eligibility.
Reminders for CS passers
Both successful and unsuccessful examinees may generate their individual test result using the Online Civil Service Examination Result Generation System (OCSERGS) by May 17, 2025 (Saturday).
Meanwhile, passers may request for their Certification of Eligibility (CoE) on CSC official letterhead or on security paper by June 13, 2025. However, it is highly recommended that they confirm the availability of the CoE for collection before visiting the CSC Regional Office (RO) or CSC Field Office (FO).
When claiming the CoE on official letterhead, which is provided free of charge, passers are required to present an ID card, preferably the same one used during the filing of application, along with the application receipt and/or CSC official receipt, if available.
It can be claimed at the CSC RO which has jurisdiction over the place where they took the exam. Alternatively, passers may claim it at the nearest CSC FO within the same region upon submission of a letter to the CSC RO requesting that the CoE be forwarded to the passer’s preferred CSC FO.
For those who have already moved to, or are based in another region, the passer must submit to the original CSC RO a written request, asking to forward the CoE to the conduit CSC RO or FO where they would like to claim the document, and citing the reason for such request.
On the other hand, the CoE printed on security paper can be obtained for a fee from any of the 16 CSC ROs nationwide, regardless of where the passer took the CSE-PPT. The complete set of requirements and procedures for securing the CoE and its authenticated copies can be found on the CSC website.
