About the NAPOLCOM PNPE Exam
The PNP Entrance Examination (PNPE), administered by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM), is the qualifying test for civilians and temporarily appointed patrol personnel who seek the appropriate eligibility for the initial PNP rank. NAPOLCOM's October 18, 2026 announcement describes a 3-hour objective examination covering General Information (Philippine Constitution and relevant laws, PNP history, the criminal justice system, current events, and norms of conduct in public service), Communication Skills (vocabulary, comprehension, and grammar), Quantitative Reasoning (basic concepts, problem-solving skills, and data interpretation), and Critical Thinking (logical reasoning, pattern analysis, deduction, and word analogy). It does not publish a fixed total item count or area weights. A passing rating of 70% earns PNP Entrance eligibility, one requirement in the separate PNP appointment process.

You must obtain a minimum rating of 70% to pass. This applies to the PNP Entrance Examination and is subject to the computation and criteria set by NAPOLCOM each year.
