SUBJECT: APPEAL FOR REVIVAL OF UPPER AGE LIMIT OF CSS EXAMINATION.
Honorable Sir,
With due reverence, I intend to procure your good attention on the above cited subject.
The coup of 1999 not only demolished the democratic structure of the country but also shattered the dreams of thousands of aspirants of Civil Service of Pakistan who intend to serve the country by taking CSS examination. The upper age limit for taking CSS examination prior of CSS-2001 was 30 years for general candidates, 33 years for the candidates belonging to backward areas and 35 years for those having 02 years continuous government service. But unfortunately, former military ruler General(R) Pervez Musharaf through an ordinance abruptly lowered the upper age limit to 28 years for general candidates and 30 years for backward areas candidates including government servants having minimum 02 years continuous service in the year 2000, which has been in force since CSS-2001 till now. The lowering of age had hit hard those belonging to the lower middle and middle class segments of society. The severe economic hardships of candidates belonging to this segment of society after graduation/post graduation compels them to have an honorable earnings as their top priority in order to sustain their families and it becomes very difficult for them to spare time and energies to take part in the competitive examination.
The transition from dictatorship to democratic rule in 2008 provided a sigh of relief to the hardworking and talented youth but to their dismay the former PM Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani himself twice rejected the summaries for increasing the age limit of CSS examination. However, PPP government on the recommendation of Senate Standing Committee only granted five years age relaxation for recruitment to all the posts except through CSS examination which is a clear negation of Article 25 of the constitution of our country. Since then, the aspirants of Civil Service of Pakistan have been continuously demanding through print media and in the form of appeals to the former PM Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani to repeal the dictator’s irrational decision but of no avail.
The worthy Prime Minister, it is pertinent to mention here that the age limit for taking similar examinations in the South Asian countries including India and Bangladesh is 30-35 years. The United Nations Competitive Examination also grants an opportunity to the aspirants all over the world up to 32 years of age and even among the developed countries such as USA there is no such bar of age and any one can be a part of Civil Services on the basis of his/her academic credentials.
There are also some other reasons which demand to increase css age. These are as follows;
1- Most of our population is rural base and they start their school going much later than urban areas and therefore they complete their graduation later.

2- Because they are are living in rural areas therefore they have not much facilities which could help them to get higher education at early age.

3- Most of our population is poor and does not afford their expenses and they try to find their job first and then think about preparation of competitive exams like css. Because they can not buy expensive books or helping materials and they start their preparation in later part of there life. Therefore they should give a chance.

4- Most people of rural ares are not aware of these type of exams in early age and they start study much later.

5- There are also some other problems in our country like transportation,load shedding etc.in remote areas which are not suitable for students and need some time to prepare..

6- Age should also be increased for govt.employees at least up to 4 years because generally they start their preparation after getting a job.

7- In other competitive exams like PMS there is also age relaxation up to 35 years for govt.employees and also in other departments which are under federal govt.

8. For civil judges there is also a relaxation in age for advocates therefore it should be granted for css too.

9. If a person is born on 30th of december and it is only 1 day over and he is rejected. This is not fair. At least last december should be consider for cut date. For example,for CSS 2017 cut date should be 31 december 2015. Because application starts in october and cut date should be last december.

10. Most candidates who applied for css 2016 but not appeared with the hope that age will be increased for next time and they decided to avail next time. Therefore,one chance should be given to them.
11. The Federal Public Service Commission Director (Research) in 2009 informed the passing graduates at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad that the FPSC has recommended to the government to grant 05 years age relaxation for CSS examination but this policy would be effective from CE-2011 but the unfortunately policy never materialized.
At last, I would humbly request to your good self to pay a patience look into legitimate demand of the talented and hard working youth of the middle class families by reviving the age limit of 30-35 years as it used to be prior of CE-2001. The government has to approve CE-2017 age relaxation policy and I am optimistic it will certainly provide a relief to all the aspirants of middle class families so that the maximum number of aspirants can take CSS examination and enjoy the fruits of democracy.
Thanks
Yours Obediently

I saw it in estab with own eyes. It was moved by secy estab through minister ahsan iqbal. Ahsan iqbal on 16.02.2016 moved it to PM office citing candidates approaching him for outcome. But fawad hassan fawad has made a detailed analysis and PM has NOT approved summary of establiahment division. However i heard that might be summary may be resubmitted with answering criticism of PM but its authentic it is rejected.
