On the official website of the Presidential Youth Personnel Reserve, the list of candidates admitted to the third stage – “Situational Task Solving” – has been published.
In the second testing block, “Assessment of the Ability to Work with Numerical Information”, held on August 9–10, 2025, 2,597 admitted applicants participated.
According to the approved selection procedure, no more than 600 candidates (including no more than 100 in each sectoral direction) with the highest scores may advance to the third stage. In cases where several candidates achieved equal results, a larger number of applicants may be admitted to the next stage.
Thus, 683 candidates who achieved the best results have been admitted to the next stage, “Situational Task Solving.”
The passing scores by sectoral direction were:
Agro-industrial complex and environmental protection – 13 points
Foreign policy and investment – 16 points
Infrastructure development, industry, and trade policy – 20 points
Social policy, civil society – 18 points
Digitalization – 18 points
Economic and financial policy – 18 points
The full list of candidates admitted to the next stage is available on the official project website pkrezerv.gov.kz.
The “Situational Task Solving” stage will take place on August 16, 2025. This stage is aimed at assessing candidates’ ability to make managerial decisions by completing practical cases typical of public service.
All candidates admitted to the third stage must register in their personal account by 23:59 on August 15, 2025 (Astana time).
We remind participants that, in order to ensure transparency and fairness of the stage, a proctoring system is used. Non-compliance with the established requirements—including assistance from third parties, the use of remote access programs (AnyDesk, TeamViewer, DWService, etc.), disabling the camera and/or microphone, using smartphones, headphones, or other electronic transmitting/receiving devices, as well as copying tasks in any way—will result in annulment of the results.
More detailed requirements can be found in the instructions for completing the “Situational Task Solving” stage, available in the candidate’s personal account.
