The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) allows candidates to appear in its competitive examinations multiple times, subject to certain limitations. The number of chances or attempts for FPSC exams depends on the category of the candidate. Here is the breakdown:
-
General Category Candidates: General category candidates are allowed a maximum of three attempts for a particular examination.
-
Ex-Servicemen Candidates: Ex-servicemen who have served in the Armed Forces of Pakistan are allowed a maximum of three attempts for a particular examination.
-
Disabled Candidates: Disabled candidates are allowed a maximum of ten attempts for a particular examination.
It is important to note that these attempts are cumulative and apply to the same examination. For example, if a candidate has appeared in an examination three times, regardless of whether they passed or failed, they will not be eligible for further attempts in the same examination.
The specific number of chances may vary for different examinations and positions. It is recommended to refer to the official advertisement or the FPSC website for the specific rules and regulations regarding the number of chances for a particular examination.
