This is open to all Filipino citizens who meet the age and educational requirements as provided herein, as well as to Police Officers I (PO1) whose appointments are temporarily for lack of appropriate eligibility. Those who pass this examination are conferred by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM).

The Test Center where the applicant will take the exam is automatically assigned by the system based on the permanent/home address provided by the applicant. Please see the table below for the different test centers this 2020 PNP Entrance Exam.
Minimum Qualification Standards
| Applicant Classification | Age | Height | Educational Attainment |
| Civilian | Not more than 30 years old | – | Bachelor’s Degree |
| PO1 (Temporary) | None | – | Bachelor’s Degree |
According to NAPOLCOM, they removed the height requirement for the entrance examination only (successful PNP exam takers are eligible for other government jobs outside the PNP). Police aspirants must still possess the required height – men and women need to be at least 1.62 meters (5’4″) and 1.57 meters (5’2″) tall, respectively to be admitted to the police service. The NAPOLCOM cannot just remove the height requirement because it is mandated by RA 6975 unless this law is amended.
