An applicant scheduled to take the Assessment Center for the first time after the effectivity of the revised rules on CES Eligibility Examination (CESB Resolution No. 459 s. 2002) shall be allowed to take the Assessment Center only three (3) times after which he/she shall be disqualified from continuing the CES Eligibility examination process.

  2. An applicant, however, who took and failed the Assessment Center for the first time prior to the effectivity of the revised rules on CES Eligibility (CESB Res. No. 459 s. 2002), shall be allowed to re-take the same for the second time subject to the old policy on the Assessment Center retake, as specified under CESB Res. No. 137 s 1996 (Allowing Assessment Center  Flunkers to Go through Another Assessment Center without Retaking MATB upon Recommendation of DAP-AC).


    3. The old policy provides that an applicant who fails the Assessment Center (AC) for the first time shall be allowed to go through Assessment Center for a second time at his/her own expense if the Assessors of the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) would recommend the Assessment Center re-take


    An applicant, who fails the Assessment Center for the second time, shall be requires to retake the MATB. A retake in the MATB allows an applicant to be governed by the Revised Rules on CES Eligibility (CESB Res. No. 459 s. 2002).

For purposes of payment of the Assessment Center Cost, an Assessment Center taken by the applicant after a MATB retake shall be considered as an Assessment Center retake. Hence, payment thereof shall be shouldered by the applicant concerned.
