Well, CTP stands for "COMMON TRAINING PROGRAMME", i.e. the training one has to undergo at the CIVIL SERVICES ACADEMY, WALTON, LAHORE. It is called COMMON TRAINING because all the css-qualifiers of one batch join the academy together for a COMBINED training programme. The main purpose of the CTP is :
1. Promoting provincial harmony via providing all the css-qualifiers, from various regions of the country, an opportunity to stay together for a period of 7-10 months.

STP stands for "Specialized Training Programme".....
After the completion of the CTP, one has to undergo a Training Programme in one's ministry/group. That particular training programme is the STP.
It is different for all the groups; starts at separate dates, duration is different for all, subjects are different etc.
