Hello everyone, hope you are all doing good. I am a serving Military officer with 6 years of service. I am planning to prepare and appear for CSS examination to be conducted in 2019. However, before starting my preparation i need clarifications regarding following :
(i) i will turn 30 in feb 2018, am i eligible to appear for CSS 2019 as a gorvernment employe?
(ii) As I am an engineer by qualification what are the most suitable subjects for me?
(iii) Is there any compulsion for candidates with engineering background to select science & mathematics subjects i.e. Chemistry, physics, calculus, statistics etc?
(iv) Does joining any reputed academy helps in preparation?

Looking forward for a positive responce from the respected members. Thank You

P.S. I am selected through short service commission so i am not eligible to apply through 10% military personnel quota.
