I have the following stats which i gathered from different websites including FPSC (For 2016)
Students appeared in 2016 : 5866
Students failed in 2016 : 1116 (19%)
Where as,
Students appeared in 2017 : 6508
Students failed in 2017 : 4756 (73%)

Many do not believe in trends by FPSC ,but it is reality that FPSC sets the trends. I, myself, got 113 marks in CE-16 and then in 2017 I got 68 marks.
12 Marks in IR-I and 56 marks in IR-II.
Assuming 5 marks in MCQs(that a child of 5th grade can take because of probability) What marks they have given me in IR-I??? 7 Marks? That is really pathetic. I really can not understand their logic. I have also done MA IR(private), solely for the purpose of my second attempt, from University of Sargodha with 63%.
What I gather from their marking policies is that
they surely cuts the marks by a certain limit
However, it happened with every one taking exams that year. So, we cannot say it is injustice. We should not focus on things we cannot control. We should try to work on our weak points.
Finally, if you are confused in opting IR. I would suggest you to wait till result and focus on other optional subjects. If the result, of IR, is same like that of last year then you should change it with some other subject like Political science.
Regards and Best of Luck!
