- A total of 179 vacancies are available across six grades, led by 100 Executive Officers II and 40 Administrative Officers
- The remaining posts include 10 Assistant Information Officers, four Assistant Trade Officers II, 14 Management Services Officers II and 11 Transport Officers II

Why It Matters
The exercise gives final-year and near-final-year university students an early route into the civil service, while also widening the pool of applicants for multiple graduate grades at once. For job seekers, the online-only process and test requirement mean preparation must cover both application deadlines and the statutory entry condition for appointment
