The Public Service Commission (PSC) has officially launched its 2025 Graduate Recruitment exercise, opening opportunities for fresh graduates to join public service roles across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking at the launch, PSC Chairperson Winnie Kabogoza Musoke said the program is part of the commission\u2019s drive to attract qualified young professionals into government institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis exercise reflects our strong commitment to strengthening public service by bringing in talented, motivated graduates,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Musoke, the Internal Advert (Graduate Recruitment Exercise) No. 1\/2025, which ran from June 23 to July 21, 2025, attracted an overwhelming 81,873 applicants competing for just 277 vacancies across 18 government entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the screening, 43,123 candidates were shortlisted. The shortlist was published on September 1, 2025, while unsuccessful applicants were allowed to appeal by September 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe commission has already received over 400 appeals from candidates seeking reconsideration,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the process was not without challenges. Musoke highlighted common mistakes by applicants, noting that many ignored instructions, failed to attach required documents, created multiple accounts, or applied for more positions than allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn some cases, we even had engineers applying for human resource roles,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She urged candidates to rely solely on the PSC website for accurate information and to carefully follow application guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next stage of the exercise will be aptitude tests scheduled for September 15\u201326, 2025, at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole. Candidates will be notified via their registered phone contacts and the PSC website, with individual schedules posted by September 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe urge all applicants to carry their National IDs, arrive at least one hour early, and avoid bringing unnecessary items due to security checks,\u201d Musoke said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Results of the aptitude tests will be released by October 6, 2025, followed by oral interviews from October 13 to 31. The commission will maintain a ratio of six candidates for every available position to ensure fairness and competitiveness in the selection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musoke reaffirmed PSC\u2019s dedication to building a competent, motivated, and accountable public service workforce, stressing that the 2025 recruitment exercise is a vital step in shaping Uganda\u2019s future human resource base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
