@ Khuram Fayyaz, yes it is 16 years of education, mine too

And what about those candidates who have skipped CSS 2016 in the hope of age enhancement to 30 years????? Had anyone thought about them??

If someone is thinking for resources, time waste, and middle class people so its not the issue, usually if people have capability, they do masters, and usually people of such class when know about css time has gone so for them too age limit 30 is a very good option, CSS aspirants usually are high qualified, so getting master degree is not waste of time and resources, their they become more competent, and what about those competent and talented people who got master degree but due to age factor they lose?? In fact 30 years age limit is good for all if we take out personal reasons. Age limit should be 30

If media reports are to be believed, some of the earlier measures announced by the chairman of Planning Commission have already been reversed or shelved.Today article by Raza Rumi.

Its bad, alot of others also may skip 2016 exam

We are living in the country where 60% population is living under poverty line. People can't afford burden of transport and fees, they start private job which sucks them like a parasite.
To be intelligent and competent is totally different thing than in what age a person gets his masters degree, which is entirely dependent on routine and income. So in my view upper age should be 35 years .

If a 27 year boy or girl has confidence in himself than why is he or she opposing a 34 year person to take CSS. If later is more experienced then he deserves more to become civil servant.

I would love to accompany you, but I can't due to some other commitments , I can only pray for you guys.

Dear madam,
This proposition is laughable for a CA/ACCA Part qualified individual.
I did not want to talk on it but since people are getting a wrong idea I think I must.

you see the degree you call Masters is merely a joke in comparison to CA/ACCA qualification. In CA/ACCA only the toughest ones survive. The pool and intellect of the required level of knowledge and practical understanding is much more higher than of an average MBA any time/day.

Some of us have chosen to dedicate our live's time and passions on these Superior qualification(s) for a reason. However qualifying every single module of CA/ACCA in one go is not only challenging but lucky too just as it is the case with CSS.

In the end of the day HEC shows it's love for the aspirants of CA/ACCA by not recognizing the qualification until fully qualified along with 3 years of registered article ship. Therefore people like me, even after spending about 5 years after A levels are labeled as "12 years education holders".

To counter such injustice, one resort to tame a regular 2 years B.Com degree as a part time sport as to gain eligibility to the CSS exams.

Now what do you expect me to do? Take admission into a regular 3.5 Year HEC recognized MBA program and study the material that I have already studied in ACCA, just with a 4 times more slower pace approach and 2 times more superficial level, whilst spending a fortune of money and Time on it.

It is all apart of a big bad joke madam, nothing but that. Just a drag slack of Time. Masters can't upgrade a Standard of a CA/ACCA aspirant. Yet CA/ACCA CAN upgrade a Masters degree holder because CA/ACCA is itself a Standard Just like CSS.

In short - Extending age limit > Big Step Forward
- Implementing 16 years education limit > Gigantic Step Backward (multiplied by 10 for people like me)
