Hi all!

According to a source (reliability still questionable!), the break up of total 264 seats for CSS 2007 is as under:

PAAS = 30
FSP = 22
CEG = 20
CTG = 13
DMG = 40
PSP = 44
IG = 20
ITG = 50
POST-G = 18
RCTG = 07

Although the credibility of the source could be challenged, it is still better than mere speculations. So chill guys. We have got a lot of seats to lay our hands upon.

i cntacted few fpsc officials nd they say no seats have so far ben announced nd people talking about the number ov seats are jus rumours,,,kindly tell me who told u about the numbr of seats in each deptt...

All candidates who cleared CSS exams may get allocations

All 194 candidates who passed the Central Superior Services (CSS)’s 2007 examination are likely to be allocated provided they pass the interviews (psychological and personal hearing), which will continue till February 6, sources told Daily Times on Monday. Around 4,811 candidates applied to compete for 252 total seats, and 3,505 appeared for the written portion. 194 candidates (5.3 percent) passed the written examination. The 194 candidates comprise 134 males, 60 females and two disabled candidates. Almost 134 candidates belong to Punjab, which has been awarded 126 seats. The NWFP has been awarded 28 seats; AJK, 6 seats; Sindh and Balochistan, 82 seats.

@ mahmood

I had called FPSC a couple of months back and they had told me that a total of 25 candidates passed from NWFP.

@ Hote

does that include the people from FATA, or is that excluding FATA? because the guys who took the interview at the peshawar center told me that there were only thirteen people who passed from the pesahwar center. I was one of the two belonging to the NWFP who were interviewed at lahore. I doubt there were any others given that they have put all the people outside the province of Panjab in that single group.
so that means there were at least 10 people in the islamabad center. maybe someone who was interviewed in islamabad could tell how many people domiciled in NWFP were interviewed there.

@ mahmood

I don't think the 25 figure includes the candidates from FATA.
Yes, it is true there were only 13 candidates who took their psychologicals at Peshawar.

I have an NWFP domicile and my interview is scheduled for day after tomorrow, 24th here in Islamabad. All other 5 candidates with me are from NWFP. So are some others who r having their interviews on 23rd and 25th. FATA candidates r also having their interviews here in Islamabad on 25th and 26th.

So, most likely the 25 figure doesn't include the FATA candidates.

However, even with the 3 seats of women quota, all 25 NWFP candidates r safe... if the Daily Times story is true.
