I would be very surprised if they do that though. However, I did e-mail FPSC a few weeks to ask if the exam will be conducted on time, and they said yes it will follow the usual October (Applications Open) / Feb (Exam) route.

So, fingers crossed!
Well FPSC conducts both CSS and general recruitment. FPSC uses the same staff to conduct both exams. I doubt they are capable of handling all the delayed general exams as well as CSS in the upcoming months. Also CSS 2021 exams announcement has yet to be made, usually they advertise about it in March and applications open in Sep-October.

Delay in exams has happened in the past as well and the CTP and STP dates have changed accordingly so that's not a problem. Also the people who reply to FPSC emails are very unreliable (check out the previous result date discussions, they have replied with wrong information multiple times).

Anyways, we will know for sure by October. Lets hope for the best (which is relative since delay in exam would be best for some aspirants)
