About Civil Service Eligibility
The Career Service Professional Eligibility qualifies individuals for permanent appointment to both first level (clerical) and second level (technical) positions within the career service that do not involve practice of profession and are not covered by the bar, board, and other laws.
On the other hand, the Career Service Sub-Professional Eligibility shall be appropriate to first level positions only.
Nevertheless, the CSC stressed that possessing eligibility alone is inadequate for government service appointment. One must also meet the education, experience, training, and other competency requirements of the position in order to fully qualify.
Reminders for CS passers
Examinees—whether passed or failed—can generate their individual test results using the Online Civil Service Examination Result Generation System by May 18, 2026.
Meanwhile, passers may request for their Certification of Eligibility (CoE) on CSC official letterhead or on security paper. 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.
