there is always a confusion when FPSC gives a list of subjects and write " OR EQUIVALENT" what does that exactly mean.
has any one ever called them and asked about it??

i know in the case of this job that all who chose economics, maths or stats, etc are eligible. but in case of lecturer job there are certain subjects like International relations, liberal arts or women studies that are not taught at colleges but a person with such degrees shoul be allowed to teach history or political science at college. they don't even confirm a candidates eligibility till the end of the written results and interview and this means wait of several months. It's cruel to allow anyone sit for the test and then at the end say to them that they arent eligible.

Anyone experience that with FPSC jobs? got disqualified due to his/her degree? please respond and help others.
PS. sorry for such a long message.
