An other candidate joined PAAS and left NBP MTO job. The same candidate is trying to re-enter NBP even after completion of CTP, STP, and finally posting.

Priority list differs from candidate to candidate.

Thank you very much,Raz bai.Your replies and meticulous nature to address issues always have held me in awe and respect for your being.Anyway,I would contact you in getting guidance from you in regard to the present situation of choosing b/w css and nbp because who else can be a better guy than you who is serving presently in sbp.Moreover,having both the knowledge of corporate world and the life of css as you have been through examinations.Regards.

@ Raz,kindly make this point drive my home that can i be able to study for css 2012 by joining nbp job.And, one thing more, i want to ace this examination with really good position or I dont think it is worth it.So can I be able to do that with my NBP job?

Well, I wont stress on any of the two... will just guide you to ponder over some questions and set ure own priorities:

1. Do you want power or money? If power is what u seek, go for CSS, otherwise join National Bank.
2. Social Status: No matter how good banker, engineer, doctor you are and how well you ear, society will always put a Civil Servant higher than you.
3. Home Station: You may get it in NBP but not in CSS in initial few years.
4. Fringe Benefits: On both jobs, they are amazing.
5. Challenging Work: Banking is a routine job, CSS is not.
6. Work environment/Culture

And Most Important Advice: "Never leave something you have for something you could have"... You have NBP job, join it. CSS is a chancy business. What if you work hard but all ure optionals face the same fate as Indo Pak n Journalism faced in 2010? What if you clear everything n are allocated in Postal Group??? That would be not be better than NBP job.

Also, if you have to take exams in 2012, you will be allocated around end of 2013... by then you will be about to be promoted as OG-I in NBP with increased salary n all. So choice is yours. Baqi during training tou nahi but after training if u get posted in a not-so-busy egion/branch, u will have enough time to prepare for CSS.

i was also planning for CSS 2012..but now i'll definately go for NBP..and i believe that Never Miss an Opportunity that knocks on your door.. otherwise, Choice is completely Yours..!!

I am preparing for upcoming CSS exams, obviously there is no match of bureaucracy as it is sole power show, but there are certain pros and cons associated with both, for instance, with CSS thing,you are not pretty sure whether you pull it over or get down under, 2ndly you need to be among top 50 odd candidates to make your way through for DMG,FS,Police, rest falls in the category of mediocrity, also you can be placed far flung, With NBP, its a routine job with out power yet lots of perks,,,You need to make a trade off. Best advice i got from my brother who is also CSP, join NBP, prepare for CSS,give it a fair try and leave it to GOD, don't over try and don't leave your present job for future capricious job.Peace.

I think training of majority banks is very comprehensive though not that cumbersome, you need to work in a 9-5 schedule and its more like a classroom training earlier on and then on the job training in branches, now during training tenure you are not supposed to clear it with 90 percent marks,just keep a normal profile, score passing marks and "create" time for studies too. i would say if you can manage 4-max 5 hours till feb-11,i will assure you you gonna perform fantabulous, (keeping temperature,pressure,volume constant) i mean no exceptional negative disruption arise by the time, Yes one can create time easily if he is really ambitious, that's how i will be going to manage.

P.S: get blessings from parents

@God Fearer
GOD FEARER,thank u indeed for ur thorough reply.Agree with you that CSS is a highly risky game.
A few other questions:
What type of training NBP have?can one manage to prepare for css as an aspirant of 2012?Six months training?Kindly,throw some light upon how to manage my time table for css?
IF ANY OTHER MEMBER KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THE NATURE OF TRAINING HE IS MOST WELCOME TO SHARE HIS OPINION,WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

@Meekal
@meekal

well,witty and rational words join NBP, prepare for CSS,give it a fair try and leave it to GOD, don't over try and don't leave your present job for future capricious job.Peace.
Well next question arises in mind is that can we get enough time during our training to prepare for css?whether the training would be tough or not?can we pull with it?kindly,elaborate.

Encouraging and uplifting words;May Allah help us.May I have your number send to my email given in my profile.i ll be glad discussing things with you as we are passengers of the same boat!

Training is exhausting... you have to study from 9 to 5 with one hour lunch break... I don't know about ure stamina and your passion for CSS... cz even though I had stamina to study 14 hours a day but after NBP Training, I was so tired I couldn't open books again. Plus in NBP Training you will be having Recaps and Pre Work Quizzes almost daily. So at home you will be preparing for it. Also, I will advise you to out perform in training bcz your batch's annual performance will be based on your results in module tests. I cant think u can prepare for CSS unless may be if Govt gives two off days... Saturday Sunday off, then may be you get time to study for CSS.

One day we met Chief Secretary Balochistan he is a veteran CSS Officer of DMG. He delivered a lecture on honesty. He said in govt. sector you will get the pay which can't fulfill your day to day needs. But in public service you will feel relaxed when go to bed at night. He said you have to serve the people with limited sources.

He further added that you can get bulky salaries in corporate/banking sector. People get involve in corruption to satisfy their needs but what about the accountability on the Day of Judgement. Will you be able to justify your misdeeds?


Choice is yours either to join Banking or Govt. Sector both have pros and cons. It all depends on one's aptitude. In a nutshell in govt. sector you will get less privileges as compared to banking sector. But in govt. sector you will enjoy more authority.
