6. Can I apply for a placement location outside my current KTP domicile?
No. Applicants must apply exclusively for the location matching their official KTP and local residency certificate. Applying to multiple locations or outside your registered domicile will result in immediate disqualification.
7. Are individuals with disabilities eligible to apply?
Absolutely. The Ministry of Human Rights upholds absolute inclusivity, equality, and non-discrimination. Qualified individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply, provided they meet the physical and mental health requirements certified by a government physician.
8. Can I apply for civil service (CPNS or PPPK) while working as an Activator?
Activators are permitted to participate in CPNS or PPPK selections. However, if accepted into the civil service, you must formally resign from your Activator position, as full-time commitment without concurrent institutional obligations is strictly required.
9. Is there any registration fee?
The entire recruitment process is completely free of charge, transparent, and strictly merit-based. Beware of fraudulent actors or unauthorized individuals claiming they can guarantee placement in exchange for money.
10. Does the competency exam use a Computer Assisted Test (CAT) system?
Unlike standard civil service exams, the Activator competency assessment does not use CAT. Instead, candidates complete an online written essay test independently using their personal laptops and internet connection within a designated timeframe.
