MANILA, Philippines – The number of examinees for the March 26, 2023 civil service exam or Career Service Examination – Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) more than doubled to 403,567 compared to 147,877 registrants of the August 2022 exams, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) announced.

“Gaya ng ating inaasahan, halos kalahating milyon ang nakapag-register para sa darating na pagsusulit ngayong Marso. Dahil dito, nagtalaga kami ng karagdagang testing centers upang maayos na ma-accommodate lahat ng examinees. Pinapayuhan namin ang lahat ng examinees na basahin at intindihing mabuti ang Examination Advisory No. 2, s. 2023 na makikita sa aming website,” said CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles.
ONSA, School/Room Assignment
The CSC said that the testing venue or school / room assignment may now be generated using the Online Notice of School Assignment or ONSA, which can be accessed via CSC’s website at this link: erpo.csc.gov.ph/eNOSAv3/.
Examinees are advised to read thoroughly and understand fully the “Examinee’s Guide in Taking CSE-PPT”, which is exclusively available for examinees through ONSA, to be oriented with the examination process.
If examinees cannot access the ONSA and still do not know their school assignment one week before the examination day, they should inquire directly with the CSC Regional or Field Office where they filed their application.
Examinees are also encouraged to visit or conduct an ocular inspection of their assigned school before the day of examination to be familiar with the location and its route/direction, means of public transport, and travel time.

The CSC said that wearing of face mask shall be observed at all times. Examinees will not be permitted to enter the testing venue without a face mask.
The “No ID Card/Document, No Exam” policy shall be strictly implemented. Examinees must present a valid ID card on examination day, preferably the same ID card presented during the filing of application.
