New Exam Date for the Postponed March 15 Civil Service Exam
March 15, 2020 Civil Service Exams Suspended & Re-scheduled date
The
Civil Service Examination – Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) which was supposed to
be conducted on March 15, 2020, is SUSPENDED by
the Civil Service Commission (CSC) due to health and safety concerns for both
our examinees and test center staff stemming from the coronavirus (COVID-19)
outbreak.
The
said suspension is in compliance with the Proclamation No. 922 signed by
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
The
proclamation was officially
released on March 9, 2020, declaring a State of Public Health Emergency
throughout the Philippines and calling for the implementation of urgent,
critical measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.
According
to Civil Service Commission, “the CS exams was supposed to be held in 66
testing locations nationwide with an estimated total of 293,845 individuals
nationwide registered to take the test. Of the figure, an estimated 253,419
will take the Professional Level of exam while an estimated 40,426 will attempt
to hurdle the Sub-professional Level.
Thus,
it is necessary to suspend the exams as a preemptive health measure to mitigate
the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases and to support the national and local
government units in undertaking appropriate response and measures in a timely
manner to curtail and eliminate the COVID-19 threat”.
NEW SCHEDULED DATE OF EXAMS:
The
(CSC) Commission is yet to announce the new date replacing the March 15, 2020
Civil Service Exams. We will keep an eye on this matter as soon as the commission
made an official announcement regarding the re-scheduled date of CSE-PPT.
FOR
MORE DETAILS AND FOR CLARIFICATION, examinees are advised to
directly call their CSC Regional Offices (complete directory is available on
