Default Is CSS really a competitive exam?
I am wondering over the pattern of the CSS exam after going through complete definition of the word COMPETITION. In short, All CSS candidates appear in compulsory papers and they have choice in optional subbjects. A competition is held under a particular and unique course for all aspirants. The phenomenon of choosing optional subjects, in fact, distorts the meaning of the competition. It is a discrimination for a hardworking student who does not opt Arabic and other high scoring subjects though he has not aptitude of the subjects. On the other side, some subjects are declared low scoring. The result of Islamic History 2010 is the best example.
What do you think?

Aariz Memon

That is the reason why very soon these optional subjects would be dispensed with..All 12 subjects would be compulsory for everyone.this will provide everyone with a level playing field.The change is in process.

Yeah, there must be some selected compulsory subjects for all. No options for subject selection

I endorse you.

This is not a competition but discrimination.
A candidate,luckily opts high scoring subjects may be awarded more marks than others,shows clearly that there is no crystal clear system of awarding marks.
Owing to this,many competent Csps allocated in unexpected groups.
This high and low scoring trend must be abolished.

Regards

@Waqar. Owing to this discrimination process, Many competitive and brainy aspirants, I guess, do not appear. More importantly, they call it LUCKY EXAMS.

Yes,this process of assessment had distorted many student's career who gave their heart and mind to this exam but could not qualify it just because of this discrimination.

I have stated this reason too in my blog. In fact, we face discrimination mostly in all govt. institutions.

But if there will be no optional subjects, it will be injustice with science students. As students of History and political science and literature students already get an edge in general knowledge papers...

Doing away with optional subject will no create much difference in my opinion.blaming scoring or non-scoring trend will not serve the purpose.i wonder people still believe in scoring and non-scoring subjects after seeing the result of islamic history,journalism and sociology last year which were considered as high scoring subjects.when fpsc is trying to break this trend why we can't.i believe we should try to give our best to any subject that we opt and left the rest to Allah and examiner to do justice with us.this is the competition and best will win it.

Default .
We should never take a concept of low scoring or high scoring subjects. We

should subjects according to our taste and work hard. If you select high scoring

subjects and never work hard you can't qualify. But when you choose difficult

subjects and work hard with trust so you will be succeed.
