Think it like this they can't call hundreds of people for GD and interviews so they had to cut the line short.Why is it so hard to accept?I don't see myself any less qualified. So please people show some heart. They have got at most 10 seats to fill.
For those who are saying that the criteria should have been given before hand.When do you see Universities giving out merit lists before the result being announced. The merit was obviously gonna be set on the basis of available seats and how many they are willing to give chance in group discussion.

I agree with your opnion although i am also in disqualified student(72 Marks) .....people here should show mature approach as it is clear from criteria that no money or wrong doings are involved in selection process.....

Good luck to all those who have qualified for the GD.....

for those who have been disqualified, better luck next time and believe in Allah.... we all will get the rewards for our hardwork..insha Allah....

Final words:
I think, therefore i am.

Now hoping that my calculations go wrong and i get a call for GD

So my assumption was ok......they set the criteria of 65% in each section and some above 80 are also out......

according to me 60% in each section should have been the strategy and 75 in total.

With this New harsh criteria only 50, 60 People would have Finally Qualified. to select 40 People you need to have a Pool of 200 to 300 Candidates. Now its up to you to think from where The REST would come. If you can solve this Puzzle tou I can say that future of our economy is in safe Hands Becuase we will have very sharp state Bank managers in Future.

Oh and I am more Happy to be not working with People LIKE YOU who dont Understand things and Start Blaming people.

It will be your great service to this nation if you please notify us the induction of those "Rest" which you have mentioned in your post.
Not a single candidate will be inducted who has not taken NTS test and who has not scored minimum passing marks in aggregate as well as in individual sections. If this mechanism is not followed and you find any anomaly in Test, Result, GD, Interview, Medical then please bring that fact in the notice of public for the accountability. I am sure you won’t find such blunders.

Criteria are set tough because of competition but that doesn't fall under the domain of corruption or unfair means. It is a customary in the organizations to filter/scrutinize applicants by keeping in view their openings and limited resources. Some organizations convoke 5 candidates for one seat and some organizations convoke 3 for one seat. This criterion varies from organization to organization and from time to time. You can't name it corruption because candidates are called in the order of merit instead of random selection. Had there been any random selection you could have blamed the selection process and your allegations of favoritism/nepotism/bribe culture would have some weight but fortunately random selection is not exercised.

As for as passing criteria are concerned individual sections do have value in SBP as well as in CSS. SBP has been following this practice for many years so does FPSC in CSS.

There are 1200 marks in written part of CSS.
A candidate scoring 1100 marks in all papers but scoring 39 marks in essay/composition/Islamiat or 119 in GK doesn’t qualify.

On the other hand

A candidate scoring merely 600 marks in all the papers including 40 in Essay/composition/Islamiat, 120 in GK qualifies.

We have real examples of such candidates who scored more than 700 marks in written still could not qualify and candidate scoring merely passing marks of 600 entered into PSP group.

Note: Relevance of the test and competition level of different regions/provinces are different issues and debatable. These factors are not addressed in my post. I maintain my position and I have reservation on these two factors.
My post was meant to address the concern of our aggrieved members for their allegations of corruption/unfair means. I totally condemn their baseless allegations. These allegations erupt from two factors 1) shifting the burden of failure on the shoulders of institution, or 2) lack of awareness about the institution.

Advise: Positive approach pays multiple times. (Multiplier effect)

state bank should clearly mentioned the test criteria before conducting test....so that we could follow the test strategy before scoring high marks...all this was inconvenience by them...lets follow the same strategy in next test...
