My subjects Political science, Philosophy and Business Admin gave marks 132, 130 and 120 max respectively while Punjabi gave 150 marks at average and people scored even 166.

70% of people who got allocated had Mass comm, Social Work and Punjabi as their optionals while almost all of them had one or the other of these subjects which most of the time turns out to be Punjabi. So those non allocated people committed the sin of not opting Punjabi.

Similarly people with Psychology in 2011 and 2012 got 140 easily and with little hard work they crossed 150, so the crime or blunder made by those who could not secure allocation was that they had not opted Psychology.

If they have to bless the certain subjects, then why have other subjects at all? Now someone would come up with a logic that who asked me not to opt Punjabi or Psychology! My answer is that the point is not that I missed the allocation owing to the fact above cited, the point is that what is the need for having other subjects if all are given the initiative to opt few?

We do need an overhaul of CSS exam, if we have to leave a competitive exam, aimed at choosing bureaucrats, on the matters of luck then why make the people do such hard work, just throw a dice and decide who gets which group.

Excellent point brother.........
........................................You have rightly diagnosed the problem and explicitly exposed the capabilities of those who are at top positions, just because of being able to memorize Punjabi poetry and Arabic sentences..............

Its my open challenge to all the toppers, who opted Arabic, that they just write a half page in Arabic on any topic given to them. I bet, no one could do that.

What kind of knowledge is being tested by FPSC?

Have you ever seen such fraudulent practice in any exam?

Only the history of language and some sentences are given in the paper. . . . . . . .
If they are really in love with Arabic, set questions as like other subjects. . . . . .

The paper of Arabic must be set as that of English precis and composition. ...Then the candidates opting Arabic would be sitting dumb in the examination hall.

Same is the case with other languages. The language subject group has destroyed the future of many competitive candidates. . . It is highly unfair practice by FPSC. I have no words to explain it.....

Psychology is not that kind of subject, as Bilal pointed out. Anyone can opt that.

However, any punjabi cannot opt sindhi or any other language and same is the case with candidates belonging to other provinces. . .

Persian language is also a big fraud. . . I give the same challenge to those who opt Persian, as I have given above, to those who opt Arabic.

I wonder, if one has to speak Arabic or Punjabi after becoming csp. The country, where English is official language and Urdu is about to abolish in coming decades; the policy for competitive exams is that much orthodox; which is also counter productive for selection of good candidates.

Note: Those who opt Arabic or any other language, have done 100% right. I have no objection over that and not castigate them,as they put their efforts to gain maximum marks.

I have just showed the real picture regarding the ability of "Language experts", whom FPSC give 80% plus marks.. .
