CSC extends deadline for career service exam applications

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has extended to February 26 the deadline of the filing of applications for the April 17 Career Service Examination, Paper-and-Pencil Test (CSE-PPT).

The CSC originally set the deadline on February 25, the 30th anniversary of the 1986 People Power revolution, which is a special non-working holiday.

The Career Service Examination is open to Filipino citizens who are at least 18 years old at the time of filing of application. While applicants may continuously take the examinations regardless of the number of times failed, the CSC stressed that the same level of examination should be taken once in every three months.

Applications must be filed personally with the CSC Regional Office (CSCRO), or at any of the CSCRO’s Field Offices, where applicants intend to take the examination.

Acceptance of application is on a first-come, first-served basis. The application may be closed earlier than the deadline once the allotted number of examinees had been reached. — APG, GMA News
