I think there will be a choice to opt easay/composition and all other papers in Urdu or English. The 2nd possibility is that Urdu will be added as a compulsory paper. 2017 is my last attempt but for those who are weak in Urdu (like me) it is a new challenge. I think most aspirants will benefit from it and it's a good constitutional decision.

AoA,

Well, I am very disappointed by dint of such foolish order. Certainly, CSS recruits the cream of the nation which ultimately represents Pakistan both national and international forums. It allows every citizen to take part in this competitive exam. But, by limiting the medium of expression to Urdu would certainly be a sheer injustice to those candidates who do not hold good aptitude in expressing their views in this language. It is due to the fact that many aspirants come from a variety of educational backgrounds and speak different native languages. Many of them do not fully understand Urdu. Moreover, there are many Pakistanis living abroad who are very intelligent and aspire to serve Pakistan. Many of them lack proficiency in Urdu. So, how could they equally compete with the others?

haha yes I was thinking of it as well. mje to ye guman o ra ha k ab to translator rkhna pary ga FPSC ko embassies ma. is ka matlb FPSC alag sy recruitment kry gi, phr is sy mulk k beyrozgar aawam ko b rozgar mil jay ga ultimate mulk ma khushali ka parhchaar o ga

Undoubtedly, English is an international language and holds much importance, especially in bureaucracy.The world is very competitive. We need to mould ourselves to survive in it. Let the medium of examination optional for CSS aspirants and leave for them to attempt the CSS papers in Urdu or English at the choice of their own. Do not cage them in a single medium because no language is the tool to measure one's intelligence but a source to express opinion. The Planning Commission should look into the matter on a serious note.

May ALLAH bless us with success. Ameen sumameen.

Best of luck. Stay blessed.

Regards.

Jahan tak zikr raha apke baqaya khadsha-jaat ka tou un say main sad-fesad ittefaq karta hoon. Jab kay abhi urdu main kutab dastiyab nahi hain aur mojouda angrezi kutab ka tarjuma karnay kay liye 1 saal ka arsa nehayat qaleel hai, moazaz adalat ko apne faisaly par nazr-e-sani karni chahiye.

Jahan tak baat reh gaye vazeh imqanat ki tou hamain yeh nahi bhoolna chahiye kay FPSC aik markazi idara hai, sobai nahi, lihaza hamain SC ya khud FPSC ki taraf say anay walay ehkamaat ka intezaar karna chahiye.

Lol, this was fun.

kya ye impement ho sakay ga

hahaha ... what a strange and surprising decision. What on earth was the court thinking when giving verdict in favor of urdu language . I was thinking of taking Islamic studies in english and look at them . Well, lets wait and see FPSC's response

What for those opting Accounting and auditin, international Accounting Standards are not available in Urdu language

On a serious note, I do not think this would be enforceable by 2018. The necessary literary paraphernalia does not exist to support such a decision. Even if such a decision is upheld by the SC, I think they will give a transition period which should be at least 3-5 years and even after a choice should exist. Candidates should have a choice if they want to attempt the paper in English or in Urdu.
Hence I reiterate that this would not be the case in 2018 so everybody relax

LHC wants FPSC to bestow upon the country Ghalibs and Mirzas instead of diplomats and officers

It is impossible for CSS exams like competitive examinations to be conducted in urdu where english language is the fabric and backbone of the whole process starting from theory upto the viva voce. Taking the exams in Urdu will be confusing because alot of subjects are taught in english which is the main medium of education in most parts of the country.

BEST of LUCK brother !
