Banyuwangi Menyelenggarakan Seleksi CPNS Berbasis CAT untuk Meningkatkan Kinerja PNS

Banyuwangi, a regency in East Java, Indonesia, has once again opened recruitment for Civil Servant Candidates (CPNS) with a strong commitment to producing outstanding state apparatus. The selection process, led by Banyuwangi Regent Ipuk Fiestiandani Azwar Anas, will be conducted transparently and accountably through a computer-based system known as Computer Assisted Test (CAT) at the State Civil Service Agency (BKN).

Ipuk emphasized that there will be no room for favoritism or intervention in the selection process. The key to success lies in thorough preparation, and individuals should not trust anyone claiming to have the power to secure a PNS position for them. Any attempts to solicit bribes or influence outcomes should be reported to the authorities as they are undoubtedly fraudulent.

The goal of Banyuwangi is to ensure that every selected PNS possesses high intellectual capabilities and a strong work ethic to enhance public services. Ipuk encourages talented individuals from Banyuwangi to join hands in building and developing their beloved region.

The recruitment drive aims to fill 89 CPNS positions, comprising 36 healthcare professionals (nakes) and 53 technical staff. Applicants are required to have a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.25 from accredited programs recognized by the National Accreditation Agency for Higher Education (BAN-PT), the Health Education Center (Pusdiknakes), or the Independent Accreditation Agency for Health Higher Education (LAM-PTKes).

It is worth noting that Banyuwangi has been implementing minimum GPA standards for CPNS since 2014. While GPA is not the sole indicator of human resource quality, it serves as an initial benchmark. Ipuk expressed confidence in the ability of Banyuwangi’s youth to meet these standards based on past data.

Statistics from the Civil Service, Education, and Training Agency (BKPP) indicate that out of the 935 individuals who passed the CPNS recruitment in the last two years (2019 and 2021), 684 (73%) were local residents of Banyuwangi.

„This data demonstrates that the majority of applicants and successful PNS candidates are still from Banyuwangi. It shows that many young people from Banyuwangi have above-average GPAs,“ Ipuk stated.

Head of the Civil Service, Education, and Training Agency (BKPP), Ilzam Nuzuli, added that the CPNS registration phase will be open from August 20 to September 6, 2024. For detailed information, applicants can visit the National Civil Service Agency website at https://sscasn.bkn.go.id.

The Basic Competency Test (SKD) will take place from October 16 to November 14, 2024, while the Field Competency Test (SKB) will be held from December 9 to 20, 2024.

Applicants for CPNS must be between 18 and 35 years old at the time of application, with the exception of medical specialists (doctors and dentists) who can apply up to the age of 40.
