Psychometric Assessments – these are meant to assess your general, verbal and numerical reasoning abilities.

Game-Based Assessments – these provide an understanding of your natural attributes. At the end of the assessment, you will receive your own report for your review and use in self-development.

Psychological Interview – this provides an in-depth report of your motivations, interests and values, to give the board a sense of who you are.

Your performance in the various assessments would be taken into consideration when deciding on further shortlisting. Only candidates who complete all assessments will undergo a panel interview with the Public Service Commission (PSC) Scholarships Selection Board (PSSB).

Assessments and interviews run from August each year to June in the following year.

You may receive your outcome within two weeks after your interview. Some evaluations take longer, so please do not worry if you do not receive an outcome within the timeframe stated. All outcomes should be received by June.

You may receive the following interview outcomes:

1. Not suitable for PSC Scholarship (reflected as Unsuccessful in the Scholarship Portal) – don’t be disheartened if you receive this outcome. There are other routes to the Public Service!

2. Offered PSC Scholarship – Congratulations! We will get in touch with you on follow-ups and what you can expect next.
