For qualifying the written part of the test there is no specific threshold . PPSC declares top five candidates against a post as qualified . For instance if total number of seats is 5 , ppsc will declare top 25 candidates as qualified and they would be called for interview . That's why merit for various posts remains different . Where there is number of post huge , merit gets low . For instance in 2015 the number of seats for the post of lecturer was 100 plus and the merit remained as low as 45 . While for the post of Assistant Director Civil Defence where there were two seats only , the merit remained 89.25 . Luckily I qualified both these tests .

Those who are declared qualified they are called for the interview . The final merit is declared by including the marks of written plus the marks of interview plus the marks of academics . Now the top students who have total of all these three higher , they are selected according to the number of seats .

The criteria is
1/2 of written marks
Marks of Interview out of hundred
Marks of academics out of 40 .


For instance of one scores 60/100 in the written and 70/100 in the interview and one٫s academic according to ppsc formula is 35/40 , the grand total would be .
(Half of 60) : 30 + 70+ 35 : 135
