A total of 26,307 examinees passed the Career Service Examination-Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) held nationwide on August 7, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) announced Friday.

The passers represent 18.97 percent of the 138,703 examinees.

The Professional Level logged 22,241 passers out of 117,938 examinees or a passing rate of 18.86 percent, while 4,066 out of 20,765 examinees or 19.58 percent passed the Subprofessional Level.

The Professional Level passers shall be conferred the Career Service Professional Eligibility, which is appropriate for appointment to first and second level positions in the government service.

On the other hand, Subprofessional Level passers shall be appropriate for appointment to first level positions only.

These do not include positions requiring passing professional licensure examinations (Bar/board) or those requiring eligibilities covered by special laws and issuances.

The first level includes clerical, trades, crafts, and custodial service positions requiring less than four years of college studies; while the second level covers professional, technical, scientific, and managerial positions requiring at least four years of college studies.

The CSC reminds the latest passers that eligibility is not the sole requirement for entering government service.

Applicants must meet the qualification standards of the position, consisting of education, training, experience, and eligibility.
