My CSS Plan - Suggestions Invited

[Viceroy]

Dear Forum Members

I wish to have my first attempt in 2010
I like to do things in a kind of "organized" way

Below is a glimpse of where I am right now

1 - Occupational Group - Undecided as for yet but I think I would go for FSP, the reasons being,

1) The kind of person I am (Like to travel, Prefer Intellectual Development, Like to negotiate etc..)
2) I assume monetary benefits are higher in FSP and
3) I have not read any significant drawbacks of this group (uptill now) on cssforum or elsewhere... It seems kind of a "clean" place to me

Question : Is the above criteria fair enough for choosing an occupational group or are there any other factors as well that I should consider ?

2 - Preparation -

I have decided to go for the compulsory subjects first and then worry about the optional ones i.e. I am taking my time to decide my optionals, Once I am done with the compulsory ones, then I will start preparing the optionals

Question : Is that a good approach ?


3 - Preparing Compulsory Subjects

I have with me all the available past papers and I am making a list of suggested readings for each subject. I have started to prepare.... slowly


Questions:


Keeping in view the expected scoring trend in CE 2010 can you suggest me my optionals ?

Can you suggest me a precise list of readings for compulsory subjects especially for objectives ?

Is FSP the group I should be going for ?

Is there something I am missing uptill now, Do you have some other suggestions ?


Please do take a moment to leave your comment .... I'll be grateful

Well Thanks for the consideration ranikhan , I have just graduated with my majors in Telecommunications Engineering ... I have been a good student I scored a CGPA of 3.2 which is not very easy when it comes to engineering.

Moreover, I have been relatively more comfortable with arts subjects e.g Sociology, Business Administration etc. (in other words.... I hate Maths)

Do let me know if you want to ask something else

I think the criteria which you have set is enough to decide which service one should aspire to go into. Its all personal choice if you want to go FSP than that is the service you should go for, further more it fulfills the criteria you have set for yourself.

2 - Preparation -

I have decided to go for the compulsory subjects first and then worry about the optional ones i.e. I am taking my time to decide my optionals, Once I am done with the compulsory ones, then I will start preparing the optionals

Question : Is that a good approach ?

Given the fact that you have some time before you appear in the exam, i think it is a wise decision. Most senior's opine that css exam is all about the compulsory subjects. Most of the candidates who do not pass the exam fail in the compulsory subjects. So ensure that you have a sound grip over the compulsory subjects before you appear in the exam.

Questions:


Keeping in view the expected scoring trend in CE 2010 can you suggest me my optionals ?

As i told you earlier, the subject choice should be made according to one's aptitude. I would suggest you to opt for one subject in which you have done your last degree. You can add History ( Indo-Pak ), Sociology and Journalism to your list as well.

Can you suggest me a precise list of readings for compulsory subjects especially for objectives ?

Visit the begginer's section, complete set of books for all the subjects has been provided there.

Is FSP the group I should be going for ?

Definitely.

Is there something I am missing uptill now, Do you have some other suggestions ?

I think this is enough at this point of time .

Best of Luck

Thanx moonsalpha

I'll consider you PA suggestion but what about .... like I said I feel like being in the FSP (All that travelling ... intellectual grooming thing)

I have seen the Computer Science past papers and I think Bachelors in Computer Engineering would be much more helpful in doing that... my courses are mostly core telecom engineering courses

Physics is maths infact the mummy of maths and I hate maths how can i be comfortable with the mom

Journalism ... Yes thats what i have been thinking of to opt

Any comments on my other questions ?

@ at MHM

Here is the man I was targetting
I saw you online and I tried to PM you as well, it didn't work but its OK ... you are here

But Mumtaz Bhai ... I was wondering if there was some book list for the objective parts ... EDS etc.

@AoA Shah je.

You can get everyday science by Kashmiri and Everyday science by Majeed book depot. At the end of these books are solved past papers of last 25 years so prepare all the objectives from these books specially Majeed Book Depot's book. Then prepare the theory, the objectives were easy ( talking about the last two years ). You need not worry much .

Best of Luck

@ MohsinShah I have been a good student I scored a CGPA of 3.2 which is not very easy when it comes to engineering.

Well Mr.Mohsin, it is very well said that "Self praise has not recommendation yani k Apne Moo Miyan Mithoo. Ur above statment imlying this quotation. I brotherly suggest u to always assume urself humble and never try to take urself above the sky. The overconfidance comes under perview of proudness and Allah badly dislike proud. My one cousin did B.SC Engineer from UET Lahore and always supposed himself some thing exceptional. He appeared in CSS and couldn't qualify in thrice efforts. Y? Simply he assumed other ppl the filth of earth and Allah learnt him lesson.

Although ur lust to compete in CSS is a good sign but ur boasting style is not stiff and Allah dislikes it. CSS is entirely different than routine education. Duzn't matter anybody is too good in MBA/MCS/BSC Engg etc. but CSS always give a hard time. Only one or two optional subjects out of ur studied course may be helpful 4 u. In rest, u hv to leave no stone unturned to get through. I will pray for u but never over-estimate urselfr. Try to be modest and meek otherwise result will b the same as my cousin has tasted (I hv told u ppl a true and factual story). Being having a broad mind I hope u hv got what I meant to convey. Try to act upon it. Thanx. Gud Luck.

It's good that you have planned a year ahead of the exams, I suggest you should start reading DAWN newspaper regularly, esp. the Front page, back page, international, World in focus, Friday Feature and editorials etc.
This would help you in compulsory subjects like Current Affairs, Essay & English, Islamiat, and some optionals e.g. I.R.
Hope this info will be useful.

@ MohsinShah
And last bhai planning kay saath do the hard work too yaar Its really a hard nut to crack preparing for 12 subjects and especially appearing in the very exhaustive routine where one has to face with two papers in a day. and the next day you are faced with another
aik aur dary ka samna tha munir
jo mein aik darya key paar utra
(or some thing like that)
One in the morning and the other in the evening
I am sure that you will be an inspiration to the other guys who would be appearing in 2011

@ fahad khan
No preference will be given to a candidate for promotion however there is a provision for special remuneration for PHDs officers in bureaucracy . They get an extra salary for that feat.

Brother, Physics can save 100 Marks subject . And it can be quite easy for Engineer, While There is no Mathes in it.
And by the way, as I know the Curriculum of Engineering we have to study Mathes in all 8 Semesters .

Else, Computer Science is very easy for Us .
Engineer can do any thing. we are well organized and dependable.

Thank you very much Rana G for your advice, in fact, I feel that if I were proud and over-confident etc. I wouldn't have posted this thread to invite suggestions from all the members.

The post that you have quoted was in response to another member's inquiry regarding my educational career ... I felt that it may be helpful for her if I tell her that I am good at studies or not ... moreover, I have also said in a previous post that I hate maths ... I have been passing all maths and calculus related courses with a grade no more than C+

I firmly believe that CSS is a journey of self exploration ... some thing much more and bigger than the privileges associated with it and to be successful in that journey one has to be humble

Hope this clarifies the impression you got and thanks again for the concern you have shown

Warm regards
