How to check your Civil Service Exam results

Both 2026 advisories say the same thing: "Only the List of Passers posted on the CSC website is official." CSC also cautions the public against postings on other websites and social media pages that are not affiliated with the CSC or that use its name without authority.

Unofficial copies may be incomplete, out of date, or bait for scams. Use csc.gov.ph to check your result, and treat any other copy as unconfirmed.

The List of Passers is posted by region, for both Professional and Subprofessional. CSC also posts the top passers on the national level, ranked using standard competition ranking (Advisory No. 04, s. 2026).

1. Open csc.gov.ph and go to the exam results for your sitting.
2. Choose the region where you took the exam — not where you live now, if they differ.
3. Choose your level (Professional or Subprofessional).
4. Search for your surname. Check your full name and middle name, since common surnames repeat.

Not on the list? That usually means you did not reach 80.00, but confirm it through OCSERGS before you decide anything.

The Online Civil Service Examination Result Generation System (OCSERGS) is how every examinee — both passed and failed — gets their individual result. Advisory No. 04 says no report of rating will be mailed to examinees.

To use it, per Advisory No. 04, s. 2026:

1. Open OCSERGS from the main CSC website: www.csc.gov.ph → Quick Links → OCSERGS. CSC says this path makes sure you reach the enhanced, official system.
2. Have your Examinee Number ready. It is required.
3. Fill in your personal information exactly as it appears in your application.
4. Fill in the details of the examination: date, type (level), and place of examination, in the format shown on the screen.
5. Generate your result and save or print a copy for your records.

• 80.00 or higher means you passed. CSC's passing standard is a general rating of at least 80.00 (Announcement No. 06, s. 2026, Section G).
• There is no rounding. Advisory No. 04 says CSC does not apply any mathematical rounding to ratings. A rating just below 80.00 is not a pass.
• There is no re-checking. Results, including the exact values of the ratings, are final and irreversible. CSC does not re-check test results in any type of civil service examination.
• Your rating is not a percentage of items. CSC does not publish how raw scores convert to the general rating. See what the 80.00 passing score means.

If you passed, you can get a Certification of Eligibility (CoE). CSC offers two versions. For fees, replacements, and online verification, see the full Certificate of Eligibility guide.

What to bring for the letterhead CoE

Claim it personally and bring:

1. Your original I.D., preferably the same one you presented when you filed your application. If you lost it, bring another valid, unexpired I.D. from CSC's accepted list for civil service exams.
2. Your application receipt and/or CSC Official Receipt, if you still have it.

The office may ask for additional documents to confirm your identity. CSC strongly advises checking first whether your CoE is already available for claiming before you travel.

If you live far from the office

You can claim your letterhead CoE at a conduit CSC office nearer to where you live or work. Send a written request to the CSC Regional Office concerned asking it to forward your CoE to the office where you want to claim it. Advisory No. 04 also covers passers who moved to another region: the request goes to the Regional Office with jurisdiction over your testing center and should state your reason.

When you apply for a government position, you will be asked for proof of eligibility. Both advisories cite the 2025 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions (CSC Resolution No. 2500358, 30 April 2025), which accept any of these for appointment:

• Original copy
• Authenticated copy or certified true copy
• Photocopy or scanned copy
• A site or screen capture of your eligibility from the Civil Service Eligibility Verification System

So you can start applying with a copy or a screen capture while you wait to claim your printed CoE. Which positions accept your level is explained in Professional vs Subprofessional.

• Trusting a reposted list. Only the CSC website list is official. Copies can be incomplete or fake.
• Paying someone to "check" or "fix" your result. Results are final and irreversible, and OCSERGS is on the CSC website.
• Missing the OCSERGS window. The rating is not mailed. Generate and save it as soon as results are out.
• Losing your Examinee Number or receipt. You need the number for OCSERGS, and the receipt helps when you claim your CoE.
• Assuming 79.9 rounds up. CSC does not round ratings.
• Missing the CoE deadline. Each results advisory sets a date to secure the CoE; for the August 2026 sitting it is 12 November 2026.
• Searching the wrong region. The list is by region of the testing center, not your home address.
