Basic Qualifications

Anchored on Sec. 3 and Sec. 6, Rule II of the Omnibus Rules Implementing Book V of Executive Order No. 292 (The Revised Administrative Code of 1987), an applicant for any type of eligibility granted under special laws and CSC issuances must meet the following basic qualifications:

A. Citizen of the Republic of the Philippines;

D. Has not been previously found guilty of offenses relative to, or in connection with the conduct of a civil service examination; and

The career service examination is not the be-all and end-all of acquiring civil service eligibility.

You can acquire a civil service eligibility even without taking the Career Service Examination.
