But since the target date falls on a Saturday, CSC said the release of CSE results may be adjusted/moved either earlier on the last working day before the subject date, or later to the next regular working day. Moreover, the date itself may be subject to adjustment based, or depending, on the actual number of examinees.
To quote, CSC said "For CSE Professional and SubProfessional levels, release of results is set at 69 days after exam in light of the 350,500 maximum exam slots, effecting additional 10 days to the computed Program Expenditure Classification (PREXC)-based 59-day-after-exam release of test results for CY 2025 for exam slots of up to 300,000. The additional 10 days are calculated at 1 day for every 5,000 exam slots in excess of 300,000. However, this may be subject to adjustment depending on the actual number of examinees."
With this, we advise examinees to check announcement of CSE-PPT results between May 5 (Monday) and May 13, 2025 (Tuesday) or 64-72 calendar days after the exam. Note that May 12 is a holiday for the 2025 Philippine general election.
