MCQS were real tough . I can't remember any repeated from Past papers , all were novel . About 25 from human physiology and zoology . Having attempted 2 EDS papers this year, I may give a piece of advice that the age of KASHMIRI and Bhatti is over in CSS EDS . Candidates should give a day per week to EDS like English , otherwise for art students EDS can be a tragedy now . Even people for medical backgrounds like me felt that EDS was difficult and especially MCQS.
