The complete requirements to take the Civil Service Exam (a.k.a. Career Service Eligibility Exam) this 2021 for Professional and Sub-professional levels are the following according to the CSC:
- Must be Filipino citizens
- At least 18 years old
- Of good moral character and have no criminal record or have not been convicted by final judgment of an offense or crime involving moral turpitude;
- Have not been dishonorably discharged from military service or dismissed for cause from any civilian position in the government
- Have not taken the same level of CS exam within 3 months from last examination taken.
Everyone can apply regardless of educational attainment
The law has changed and it is great news now that regardless of college degree or education attainment, anyone who meet the requirements can apply.
Many years ago, they required at least Bachelor’s Degree for professional level and has at least finished 2 years in college for the sub-prof. Luckily, more people have the chance to be eligible now.

There are deadlines for the submission of applications since there are quotas for slots of examiners and application is first-come-first-served basis.
If you want to take the CS-PPT exam and become career service professional eligible, you need to file your application form at the Civil Service Commission Regional Office or Field Office near you. Check out the Civil Service Commission Offices and Branches.
It is usually located at the Capitol’s Office or your Region’s Government Center. I suggest you download the application form in advance so you can already fill it up at home and you would know the details needed there.
Apply early to have plenty of time to review and relax before the big examination day. Applying early can also help you surely join the slot because the CSC has quotas for each batch of exam.
Once you have applied, the CSC staff will issue you your official receipt and examination slip bearing your exam schedule date and time, testing center with your room number. Prepare for the following things you need to bring with you on that date.
Things to Bring on the Civil Service Exam
- Application receipt and exam slip
- Pencil (Mongol No. 1 or 2 recommended) and Eraser
- Black Ball pen
- Valid IDs
Don’t forget to wear a decent attire so you will be comfortable throughout the exam. I remember, we wore white polo shirt and decent pants.
I also suggest you bring a bottled water because the exam is thirst quenching. Good luck! Remember, if others can, so can you…

An individual who already pass the PRC board exam is still allowed to take the CSC exam. However, please be informed that PRC license is equivalent to CSC Professional eligibility already. Hence, it is not necessary for you to take CS Prof exam.

Hi. My friend is curious. Nag-file siya para sa Civil Service exam, Professional, College graduate siya but for 2 years lang. Okay lang kaya yun?
Please look for the qualification standards (e.g. Education, experience, training and eligibility) of the vacant position/s to determine if your qualification meets the requirement. There are positions that required compmetion og high school studies only, others requires of at least 2nd year in college.
Magandang araw po. If professional examination passer ka po ba eh pwede kana po bang magtrabaho sa gobyerno kahit di pa tapos sa college ?salamat.
Civil Service Eligibility is just one of the requirements for permanent appointment in government service. The Qualification Standards are the minimum and basic requirements for positions in the government in terms of education, training, experience, Civil Service eligibility, physical fitness and other qualities required for successful performance of the duties of the position. These shall serve as the basic guide in the selection of the employees and in the evaluation of appointments to all positions in the government.

pwede na. way back before like 7 or 9 years ago kailangan ng certain degree or educational attainment para makapagtake. pero ngayon, madali nalang, meet the minimum requirements and you can take the exam, as long wala kang criminal records, hindi ka nadischarge any police or military service at hindi ka nagka-take ng cs exam last 3 months ago.
