Next published sittings (CY 2027)
From CSC Examination Announcement No. 05, s. 2026 (03 September 2026):
| Detail | 14 March 2027 CSE-PPT | 08 August 2027 CSE-PPT |
|---|---|---|
| Exam date | 14 March 2027 | 08 August 2027 |
| Application period | 02 November 2026 onward on a continuous basis until slots fill (or CSC announces otherwise) | 10 May 2027 onward on a continuous basis until slots fill (or CSC announces otherwise) |
| Target List of Passers | on or before 11 May 2027 (may move with examinee volume) | on or before 05 October 2027 (may move with examinee volume) |
The 14 March 2027 sitting PDF is Examination Announcement No. 06, s. 2026 (fee, documents, testing centers). How to file is still set by your CSC Regional or Field Office — see how to apply. Slot counts are targets — regions may close earlier when capacity fills. The 08 August 2027 sitting still waits for its own announcement.
Reset of the suspended 09 August 2026 sitting (selected areas only)
Many testing centers held the CSE-PPT on 09 August 2026 as scheduled. Habagat weather suspended the exam in parts of the country. CSC Examination Advisory No. 16, s. 2026 (06 October 2026) resets that sitting to 22 November 2026 only in these areas:
- NCR — all testing centers
- Region IV — Dasmariñas City; Sta. Cruz, Laguna; Batangas City; Morong, Rizal
- CAR — Baguio City; La Trinidad, Benguet; Bangued, Abra
| Detail | Reset CSE-PPT (scoped areas) |
|---|---|
| Reset exam date | 22 November 2026 |
| Who it covers | Examinees of the suspended 09 August 2026 sitting in the areas listed above |
| Fee / re-registration | No additional fee and no re-registration |
| School assignments | Same centers/schools as 09 August 2026 unless the regional office announces otherwise; CSC will post an assignment advisory at least 14 days before the reset |
| If Red or Orange rainfall warning | Reset cancelled in all testing centers in NCR, Region IV, and CAR (not only the warned center) and moved to 24 January 2027 |
An examinee who does not appear on 22 November 2026 is treated as having waived the reset. The fee already paid stays non-refundable and non-transferable. This reset is not a nationwide makeup for every 09 August registrant — only the areas named in Advisory No. 16.
09 August 2026 sitting (nationwide)
From CSC Examination Announcement No. 03, s. 2026. Where testing proceeded that day, this sitting already happened. Use the reset section above if your center was suspended.
| Detail | 09 August 2026 CSE-PPT |
|---|---|
| Exam date | 09 August 2026 |
| Application period | 14 May 2026 – 10 June 2026 |
| Target List of Passers | on or before 12 October 2026 (may move; check current CSC advisories) |

- Read exam date, application From–To, testing centers, and target release of results.
- If anything is unclear, ask the CSC Regional or Field Office where you will file — not a group chat.

What we will not invent
- Application windows, makeup dates, or room lists that CSC has not posted for your sitting
- Testing-center lists copied from an old cycle as if they still apply
- A “usually March/August” date that is not in the current announcement
- A nationwide claim that every 09 August 2026 examinee takes the 22 November reset
