Changes in syllabus: a plea to FPSC
From the Newspaper (21 December, 2010)
THIS is apropos of the letter
‘ Changes in syllabus: a plea to
FPSC’ by Mohammed Saad (Dec
16). I endorse the writer’s
views that the Federal Public
Service Commission has been
secretly deliberating on
various policies, but now it is
time it came clean and
brought its future policies to
light so that CSS aspirants —
who until now have been kept
in the dark — could take a
sigh of relief, especially those
who have been expecting the
long-awaited move regarding
the upper-age limit extension.
It should be noted that in all
developed countries there is no
age restriction for appearing in
their civil service examinations.
I request the FPSC chairman,
Justice (Rtd) Rana Bhagwandas,
to set the basic qualification as 16
years of education for CSS
examinations. He should also
simultaneously extend the upper
age limit by five years as a general
age relaxation. Moreover, he should
renew the syllabus for CSS 2012.
This way we will have better,
more competent people coming
forward to take part in the
administrative services.
