To appear in the CSS (Central Superior Services) exam in Pakistan, candidates need to fulfill certain requirements. Here are the general requirements for the CSS exam:
-
Nationality: The candidate must be a citizen of Pakistan or a permanent resident of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
-
Age Limit: The age limit for CSS varies each year and is announced by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC). Typically, the age limit is between 21 to 30 years, with some relaxation for certain categories (e.g., government servants, ex-servicemen, etc.).
-
Educational Qualification: The candidate must have at least a bachelor's degree (14 years of education) from a recognized university. There is no restriction on the specific field of study.
-

-
Physical Fitness: The candidate must be physically and medically fit to perform the duties associated with the civil service.

If you meet all of the eligibility criteria, you can apply for the CSS exam. The application process is usually open for a few months each year. Once you have applied, you will need to take the written exam, which is divided into two parts: compulsory and optional. The compulsory part of the exam tests your knowledge of general subjects, such as English, Pakistan studies, and current affairs. The optional part of the exam tests your knowledge of a specific subject, such as economics, law, or history.
It's important to note that these requirements may vary slightly from year to year, and it's advisable to consult the official notifications and announcements by the FPSC for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the requirements for the CSS exam.
