You can begin with English as it will also be helpful for your bachelors. Read Dawn newspaper daily especially its editorials. Try to practics writing precis and expansion on daily basis. High school English Grammer by Wren and Martin will be quite useful.

As the heading defines it all....the thing I and most of the people want to ask..is CSS is THE thing for them...as we know that job market in Pakistan have become so crucial and people are finding ways to get to their marked goal but these factors like self made difficulties by the industrial job market come in way...So my question is that would doing CSS after BE electronics would get me a better job related to my field...? or should I side line it and do realted certification to my field...regards

No. Doing CSS after engineering won't get you any job related to your field. Read Central Superior Services of Pakistan.
