Top graduates may enter Kyrgyzstan’s civil-service talent pool without competition

University graduates who receive diplomas with honors may be admitted to Kyrgyzstan’s civil and municipal service talent pool without taking part in a competition, according to Myktybek Omurzakov, head of the personnel policy department at the State Agency for Civil Service and Local Self-Government.

Speaking on Birinchi Radio, Omurzakov said certain categories of graduates could be included in the reserve without the standard selection process. Graduates with honors are among those who may qualify.

Under the usual system, candidates for the personnel reserve complete a selection procedure established by law. Those who enter the reserve can then seek positions in state and municipal executive bodies.

The article also recalled that President Sadyr Japarov proposed in February 2025 that graduates of the Akylman presidential lyceum and graduates of foreign universities educated through the president’s El Umutu international scholarship be added to the civil and municipal service reserve without competition.
