Army & CSS.
 

hi everyone.am an army officer n wanna appear for CSS 2009.my job constraints prevent me from acquiring updates regularly.i wil be highly oblidged if anyone can share tips/updates about the exam with me.God bless u all.

Hi...
I think army officers can not appear in the css exams. As the the Armed forces have a fixed quota in the central superior service. The officers are selected by the Armed forces officials by what we are told are departmental exams.So i think you should check with your high ups. Normally when one attains the rank of a captain one is sent in the civil service although there have been exceptions and officers with the rank of Majors were sent in the civil service.

Welcome to the [COLOR="Green"][B]FORUM[/B][/COLOR], you would be updated by the information with a smile:)). While keep in mind, you should have an written approval for appearing in [B]CSS[/B] from GHQ of Army, otherwise you would have to face the official hardships. [B]You can appear[/B] but you need an approval from your deptt. i.e Army.

guys thnks alot for ur prompt response.there do exists a provision for army officers to appear in written exam on open merit in army n i ve already applied for an NOC from army....
its the updates about the exam and time management that are points of concern for me.i wil be anxiously looking for tips on these two points.

There are two ways for Army personnel to be CSP;

i). they have special quota as mentioned by Mumtaz Maneka

ii). for appearing for CSS through open merit you need to get approval from your department, as enumerated by surmount

yes yes you would be getting regular updation.
