Original Provisions Under the 1981 CSC Guidelines
- Section 11 of the 1981 Civil Service Commission (CSC) Guidelines stated:
- BNS eligibility is classified as a first-level eligibility.
- This eligibility may be considered for appointment to positions not requiring written examinations.
- Appointment consideration requires experience comparable to that acquired as a BNS.
- Other requirements of the position must also be met.
Need for Amendment Due to Changing Qualification Standards
- Recent changes in government qualification standards have eliminated positions in the career service where BNS eligibility was deemed appropriate.
- This development necessitated rationalizing the grant of BNS eligibility to align with current standards.
Amended Guidelines on the Grant of BNS Eligibility
- CSC Resolution No. 002625 dated November 22, 2000 amended Section 11 of the CSC Guidelines as follows:
- BNS eligibility remains a first-level eligibility.
- It may be considered for appointment to positions which do not require written examinations.
- The appointee must meet the education, training, experience, and other requirements of the position.
Effectivity and Authority
- The amendment was adopted on January 26, 2001.
- Signed by Corazon Alma G. De Leon, Chairman of the Civil Service Commission.
This amendment rationalizes the scope of BNS eligibility to ensure appointments are based on a comprehensive evaluation of qualifications beyond experience alone, reflecting current government standards and practices.
