Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Good news for high school graduates who wish to pursue a career as state apparatus. Registration for the 2026 Civil Service Schools selection officially opens today, Tuesday (18/8/2026).
The National Civil Service Agency (BKN) has established the complete schedule for the 2026 Civil Service Schools student intake through BKN Head Letter Number 5249/B-KS.04.01/SD/K/2026 dated 12 August 2026. The selection process begins with an announcement that has been ongoing since 15 August 2026, while registration is open until 30 August 2026.
The schedule serves as a reference for nine ministries and agencies opening Civil Service Schools intake this year, namely the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Immigration and Corrections, Ministry of Law, Statistics Indonesia (BPS), State Intelligence Agency (BIN), National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).
For prospective participants, the first stage to note is the registration and administrative selection period, which runs concurrently from 18 August to 30 August 2026. The administrative verification process will continue until 1 September 2026.
Administrative selection results are scheduled to be announced on 2-3 September 2026. Participants who wish to object to the selection results are given the opportunity to file an appeal on 4-5 September 2026, with appeal responses delivered on 4-6 September 2026. The final post-appeal results will be announced on 7-8 September 2026.
After passing the administrative stage, participants will take the Basic Competency Selection (SKD) using the BKN Computer Assisted Test (CAT) system. Before that, participants are required to complete the billing code issuance and payment of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) in accordance with the provisions of each institution.
The SKD CAT BKN is scheduled to take place from 22 September to 7 October 2026. Subsequently, score processing will be carried out from 27 September to 10 October 2026, while SKD results will be announced in stages from 1-13 October 2026.
Participants who pass the SKD will proceed to the advanced selection stages organised by each ministry/agency from 11-28 October 2026. Some institutions may also implement CAT BKN-based advanced selection as needed and in accordance with applicable regulations.
Finally, the final graduation announcement is scheduled to take place from 21 October to 1 November 2026.
BKN Head Zudan Arif Fakrulloh emphasised that this schedule serves as a guideline and shared commitment for the organising ministries/agencies so that all selection stages are carried out according to the specified time.
