[B][COLOR="DarkGreen"]CSS Forum is the best academy...trust me...No need to spend huge amount of money (Rs 40,000- 60,000) for just guidence...i posted my experience in one of previous posts regarding major academies of Pindi/Islamabad i.e. NOVA, NOA and KIPS...I'll suggest you to do self study or group study with other aspirants...best of luck...[/COLOR][/B]

DO NOT join nova academy. It's my sincerest advice to you !!! Consult seniors on your own for guidance. Usually successful CSS candidates are always ready to help you, and happily so ...

why u pple are so craving for NOVA nothing unique in it im sure

[QUOTE=fareena;322549]hi, i am anum, i've done masters in textile and fashion designing and there are no optional subjects in css related to my field. can anyone plz suggest suitable optional subjects and the best academy 4 preperation of exams. i am planning to join NOVA, is this a good academy?[/QUOTE]

Salam, I had also joined NOVA at that time they only three csp's and tld us that we will finish the course in 90 days but they couldn't thats why i leave it after taking english classes.it was good in providing guidance.if u r going to join academy for subject selection then dont go bcz i know which paper they will advise u to opt. bcz they have only those teacher available.mr.mazhar will till u to opt.from these subjects (psychology,ushistory,socialogy,jernalism,regional language paper,islamic history,public add,buisnes add and 2 or 3 more.)

thats right , and secondly , they will only give you some hints about the subjects they will ask you to opt. But infact , you have to study a lot more for the preparation of CSS, their hints will be useless.

In my opinion, an academy cannot make you pass the examinations, however they do help in brushing up your skills and providing a good launching pad towards the preparation. Also teachers are available in the academy who can evaluate your paper attempting techniques especially that of the Essay paper, provided you take the pains of solving past papars and showing them to the subject teachers. Also there is plenty of time before the examz commence, so I dont see any harm in joining an academy for 3-4 months.

For basic guidline i think KIPs is good .... one of my friend has done preparation from there
i dont have any personal experience as i am a student :))

academies r good for interview guidance, like more of a social interaction wid written qualified candidates....

but for written Xam, it may be done on ur own as well.

How is NOA Academy?
 

how is NOA academy in islamabad specially with regard to compulsory,and is pol.science taught there

yar there is a proverb in pashto toll da yo khar ghawagona de means sary aik gaday(donkey) k kan(ear) hain.as the ears of donkey are same same is the case with academies.
