Now the thing is if i start going to LUMS, and (hopefully) if i also get called for the CSS interview.. i may not be able to take my days off for interview, psychological test, medical test etc during my studies..?? can that be a major problem for me?? if anybody has any insightful comments to share??

More importantly.. if i do get selected for CSS, then i think my joining will be around Jan of 2013, when my last semester of LUMS will start.. can i get some official delay for joining CSS if i m in the course of completing my Master's degree?????Please help..
I agree that U can never be certain about CSS..I also faced the same dilemma as u are facing right now..But u shud remember that a regular career ud be ur first priority,because CSS is highly unpredictable..I took CSS-2010 exams in March 2010,and in September,I came to UK to do MSc in Islamic Finance from Durham University..Alhamdulilah I passed my written and had to rush back to Pakistan in February for a few days for viva,psychological and medical tests..So u can manage interview and psychological etc with ur studies..And if u get allocated in CSS,u can delay thejoining up till next year I guess..For example if u can't join 40th Common,U can join the 41st common..I have heard there is a rule like this..U should go ahead with ur MBA
