An army officer who wishes to join the Central Superior Services (CSS) can do so by following a specific process. Here are the general steps an army officer can take to join CSS:
-
Fulfill Eligibility Criteria: Ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) for the CSS exam. This includes educational qualifications, age limit, and other requirements.
- Commissioned officers of the Pakistan Army, Pakistan Air Force, and Pakistan Navy have their own quota of 10% in all service groups of the Central Superior Services but historically they have only joined the Pakistan Administrative Service (previously known as the District Management Group), Office Management Group, Foreign Service of Pakistan, and Police Service of Pakistan. Usually, officers who join the civil services are of the rank of Captain / Lieutenant / Flight Lieutenant (equivalent to BPS-17 grade).[21] Rank is shortlisted by respective Services Headquarters and selected against this quota after the interview process. The interviews are conducted by a committee headed by the Chairman of the Federal Public Service Commission, the same as in the case of regular candidates. Only the written exam is waived.
