I feel screening doesn't mean creating a merit in its initial most level
The reduction of candidates in this manner is going to make it too difficult for people get to the final written exam. Even if it's for provincial quota, still people shouldn't be discouraged in this way by creating such a strict merit.
Atleast 5k candidates must be given a chance. This too, will reduce 50 percent of candidates in the written that will reduce the burden manifolds on the FPSC
