I totally agree with gintino. The paper was highly asymmetrical. There are 11 heads in the syllabus. In the paper, there were 3.5 questions from one head (half the paper), and the rest half only covered 3 heads out of 10. And one whole question (Q.6) of 20 marks was completely out of syllabus.

We pray and hope that FPSC deliberately keeps marking criteria relaxed. Else, this will clearly be unjust penalization of candidates. The paper was not tough per se (for someone who had covered the policy area well, it was easy), but the relaxation should be provided because a particular portion was wholly out of syllabus and because the exam was designed irrationally. Because the subject is a new introduction in the Revised Syllabus, it is hoped that the checking will be flexible.

P.S. A person could cover 7 out of 11 heads and could still end up not knowing a single question out of the whole subjective paper. It seemed more like a "Public Policy" exam, rather than an exam of "Governance and Public Policies".
