What is a potential outcome if a candidate does not pass the Civil Service exam?

When a candidate does not pass the Civil Service exam, a common procedure is that they may be required to wait a designated period before being eligible to reapply or retake the exam. This waiting period helps ensure that candidates have adequate time to study, improve their knowledge and skills, and prepare for a future attempt at the exam. It is an opportunity for candidates to address any areas where they may have struggled, thereby enhancing their chances of success in subsequent attempts.

In contrast, expulsion from the recruitment process typically occurs due to misconduct or violation of application procedures, rather than just a failure to pass an exam. Being permanently barred from future exams is usually reserved for serious infractions, not simply for not achieving a passing score. Automatic reviews are not typically granted based on performance alone, as review processes are often dependent on specific criteria or a formal request for reevaluation.
