The CSE, conducted on August 10, paved the way for thousands of new eligible to join the government workforce.
“We congratulate all passers of the August 2025 examinations,” said CSC Chairperson Marilyn B. Yap. “Passing the CSE is a significant step toward a career in public service, and we hope that this achievement inspires more Filipinos to join the civil service,” she added.
List of passers and exam results
The official List of Passers can now be viewed via the Examination Results widget on the CSC website at www.csc.gov.ph
Examinees—whether passed or failed—may also access their individual test results through the Online Civil Service Examination Result Generation System (OCSERGS) starting October 25.
The CSC reminded takers to prepare their Examinee Number to view their results, as no printed report of rating will be mailed.
Claiming Certificates of Eligibility
Passers may claim their Certificate of Eligibility (CoE)—printed on CSC letterhead and issued free of charge—starting November 18, at the CSC Regional or Field Office where they took the exam.
The commission advised passers to verify availability before visiting the office.
To claim the CoE, passers must present a valid ID, such as a Driver’s License, Passport, PRC ID, UMID, Voter’s ID, PhilHealth ID, Company or School ID, Police Clearance, Postal ID, Barangay ID, NBI Clearance, Seaman’s Book, HDMF Card, PWD ID, Solo Parent ID, Senior Citizen’s ID, or PhilID.
Passers may also request a CoE printed on security paper, available at any of the 16 CSC Regional Offices nationwide, regardless of testing venue, for a corresponding fee.
This option will likewise open on November 18, subject to office confirmation.
The CSE-PPT serves as a qualifying examination for Filipinos aspiring to enter government service, granting Career Service Eligibility—a key requirement for permanent appointments to positions in the first and second levels of the bureaucracy.
