In my view, do not join NOVA academy. Most of the claims of that academy are false. Now a days the man there (Sir Mazhar) claims that 9th position holder of CSS-2010, M Ali Asghar, was his student but M Ali Asghar teaches at National Officers Academy.

For subjects selection, you may consider general and scoring subjects that do not require any relevant background like Sociology, Journalism, Muslim law, any regional language, Psychology, International law or International relations(if you have good knowledge of current/worlds affairs)

See [URL="http://www.cssforum.com.pk/#css-past-papers"]past papers[/URL] and [URL="http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-syllabus.php"]syllabus[/URL] before opting any optional subject.

then what do u think which is the best academy?

Mazhar is a clever imposter. I think he is not formally educated. He knows how to collect money from the pockets of aspirants. Don't go there otherwise few words from his mouth will trap you. Self study is the best option.

i personally went there for some days and then left it.
first they provide NOTES of worth Rs 4000. then u will have to riot them.
second they teach u Extra studies.
remember, CSS need selective study and there is no extra time in exam to study and revise course.

mostly css aspirants and toppers advice not to join academy.
they said just study standard and selected course.
so U must decide what to do?

CSS Acadmy
 

Atleast one should have proper guideline for CSS.
Acadmy should be just visited for this purpose.

Please, stay away from these time wasting academies. you will waste your time only.This forum is the biggest and better online academy.

[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

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.

Self study is best academy of all.
