Aspirants want CSS age limit
raised
From the Newspaper Dawn (Jan 9).
MANY CSS aspirants have
been in a quandary due to
the inaction of the incumbent
government regarding the
CSS age limit extension.
In developed countries there are
no age discrimination rules for civil
services examinations but, unlike
developed nations, in Pakistan the
privilege of age relaxation is
reserved only for the candidates
belonging to certain areas while
those candidates who apply on
open merit are deprived of it.
Why is it always the open merit
that becomes the ultimate victim
when it comes to competence and
competitiveness?
I request President Asif Ali Zardari,
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani
and FPSC Chairman Justice (Retd)
Rana Bhagwandas to abolish the
discriminatory age
laws and raise the age limit to 32
years and basic qualifications to 16
years of education for CSS
examinations.
