Filing of Application
You must personally file the Civil Service Exam application at the CSC
Regional Office (CSC RO), or at any of the CSC RO’s Field Offices where you
intend to take the examination. Check the Civil Service Commission Office
Directory to find the CSC Office near your area.
Only applications with a COMPLETE set of documentary requirements
mentioned above must be submitted to the CSC Regional/Field Office. Please be
reminded that proper attire should be worn during the filing of the application.
SLEEVELESS SHIRT/BLOUSE, SHORTS/SHORT PANTS, and SLIPPERS are NOT
allowed.
Submit the accomplished application form without affixing signature and
thumbprint. After reviewing and evaluating your application form, the CSC
officer will require you to affix your signature and thumbprint. He/she will verify
your examination records through their E-Retaker/ DIBAR System to check if
you are really qualified to take the exam. If qualified, he/she will advise you to
pay the examination fee to the cashier. Upon examination fee, the CSC
personnel will issue an official receipt and examination slip.

What’s Next After Filing the Application?

Now that you have already filed your application for the March 17 Civil Service
Examinations, maybe you’re wondering what to do next? Here are some tips:

1. Be organized
Organize all the needed documents needed during the examination day, e.g.,
valid IDs, examination slip and receipt. They will come in handy when your CSC
Regional or Field Office requires them of you. Do not lose them!

2. Review, review and review

Do not rely solely on your stock knowledge. Know the scope of the exam and
gather review materials. You can also use our free online civil service
reviewer with mock examinations to give you the needed exposure to the actual
tests you will take. Remember that by failing to prepare, you are preparing to
fail.
3. Wait for the ONSA
The ONSA or the Online Notice of School Assignments will be posted on the CSC
website around two weeks before the date of your exam. This is where you will
get details on the exact venue of your exam. DO NOT wait until the last minute
to check the ONSA. Coordinate with your Regional or Field Office early if you
have questions about your venue preventing you from getting lost on exam
day. Take note that the CSC will not be able to address your queries during
weekends (the exam is on a Sunday).

For exam-specific concerns, please email your questions to the CSC

Examination, Recruitment and Placement Office
at erpo_ead_07@yahoo.com and erpo.ead.2014@gmail.com. You may also call
them at Tel. # (02) 951-2578 or (02) 931-8163.

Release of Results
The Civil Service Exam result will be available on the official website of the Civil
Service Commission within sixty (60) working days after the examination.
However, the results may come out earlier or later than the expected released
date without prior notice from the CSC.
