Reforms proposed by Dr Ishrat (Institutional reforms advisor appointed by PM) about Civil services exam which are likely to be approved...Maximum age 26 for MPhil.30 for PHD aspirants.

Minimum qualification MPhil or a professional degree I.e MBBS, engineering, Law,economist,chartered Accountant,IT etc..BA,MA,MSC,BS in any subject will not be eligible.

5% quota for PhD.(also eligible to apply on open merit).
70-80% optional subjects would be science subjects.
There would be cluster system.. A candidate will join only that group for which he will be eligible based on his degree...in other words there wouldn't be random joining rather specific... Like only those candidates who have a degree in Law and criminology will join police service....same for other groups....In other words if you are a doctor or engineer and even you top CSS you won't get allocation in PSP, PAS,FSP etc...you will join the group compatible with your degree..

Punjab quota would be reduced to 45%...
These reforms are endorsed by Fpsc and likely to be approved by PM...Dr ishrat is very vocal about civil services reforms and he mean business which is evident through his reforms proposal so brace yourself...
