The selection for civil servant candidates (CPNS) is set to reopen for the year 2025, with thousands of positions across various government agencies awaiting applicants eager to serve as civil servants. While the government has yet to officially announce the details regarding the number of available positions and the selection schedule, prospective candidates can start preparing by familiarizing themselves with the requirements and the application process.
The first step for anyone wishing to participate in the CPNS selection is to create an account on the SSCASN website, the official national registration portal for civil servants. This site can be accessed at https://sscasn.bkn.go.id. The SSCASN serves as the primary registration gateway for all civil service positions across both central and regional agencies, managed by the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) of Indonesia.
Through the SSCASN platform, applicants can find information about the CPNS 2025 selection process, view the available positions, quotas, and agencies they can apply to based on their educational background, and ultimately register for the selection. Without an SSCASN account, candidates will be unable to proceed with their application for CPNS 2025 and participate in the recruitment process.
To ensure they are prepared, candidates should begin gathering the necessary documents required for registration. The requirements for the CPNS 2025 selection are outlined in the Regulation of the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) Number 27 of 2021. Key requirements include:

Though the exact number of positions for CPNS 2025 has not been disclosed, trends from the previous year's selection process can serve as a reference for choosing agencies and positions. Typically, applicants tend to favor agencies with fewer applicants to enhance their chances of success, avoiding those with high competition.
For the 2024 CPNS selection, agencies with low interest included the Secretariat General of the MPR, the National Commission on Human Rights, and several others, while highly sought-after agencies included the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the Ministry of Health.
In summary, the CPNS selection process for 2025 is a vital opportunity for many aspiring civil servants in Indonesia. By preparing early and understanding the requirements, candidates can position themselves for success in this competitive recruitment landscape.
