Eligibility without FSC or A Levels
 

Hello,

I know that there are plenty of existing threads regarding qualification for eligibility, but I have decided to start a new thread because my case is a bit unique.

I have done O levels but I did not do FSC or A Levels. Instead, I took the SAT exam and got admission in an American University. I have completed by Bachelors in Finance with a very a high GPA.

Am I eligible for CSS exam? Does FCPS require O and A levels certificates in addition to a Bachelors Degree?

Please reply. Also, can anyone forward me a contact no (WhatsApp) or email of some official who can clear my doubt?

Thank you.

EDUCATION
5(i). A candidate must hold at least a Second Division or Grade “C” Bachelor’s degree in any faculty of one of the Pakistani Universities or an equivalent degree or comparable educational qualifications of a foreign University recognized by Higher
Education Commission, Islamabad.

Note: In case the candidate does not hold the required degree on or before the cut off date, he/she shall be required to produce a certificate from the duly authorized officer of the concerned degree awarding institution, to the effect that the candidate has fulfilled all the requirements of the said degree and has/had cleared/passed the examination for the said degree on or before the cut off date. The candidate however would be required to produce the said degree

Thank you.

As per my understanding (based on your link) as long as I have a Bachelor's degree that has been attested by HEC, there is no need for O and A Levels qualification?

Yup. If the HEC has recognized (accreditation/equivalence certificate) that equivalent to bachelors, you are eligible.

Thank you for the great help and I would apologise for the extra questions, but I have just one more query:

On the guideline provided on the FPSC website, it is mentioned that attested copy of Matriculation Certificate & attested copy of Intermediate Certificate are necessary documents required for the approval of application.

Can you please shed some light on that?

That's a pertinent and valid question. Can't answer that. I'd suggest you to write to FPSC, ask officers. They can guide you better.

I have the same issue. if you asked have asked fpsc about it, do let me know.

Alhamdulillah my application was accepted. I am appearing in the exam now.

When you submit your application, [B]attach a letter and address it to the FPSC chairman, explaining your situation.

FPSC is mainly interested in bachelor’s degree, so if you have that attested your application will be accepted InshAllah.
