Thanks sister
the rule is simple if you have 44 marks in essay and 36 in precis u are failed according to old rule, but now you will be considered pass as your total would be 80, just as the marks of GK papers are considered as combined, now essay and precis are paper I and paper II.
as for as the role of chairman is concerned he just have to approve the suggestion and according to our source he had already done it.

one more thing
i m mr. aqdas not miss
hopfully all of you are boosted now with the news

After reading self-corroborated mail threads, many a Competitive aspirant would be thinking of definite success in CSS exam. But, there is no verity in such news as said by fellow members. In order to substantiate this, every year, FPSC stipulates certain rules and regualtions for the upcoming exam [Ref:www.fpsc.gov.pk ], and FPSC is always bound to remain stick to these set of regulations. Secondly, if English Essay and Composition marks are combined, i am afraid that the already ebbing sitution will further deshape the authority of this exam. Only the said subjects challenge the competency of a candidate.

Even after having taken CSS 2008, i am stringently against this policy of combining Essay and Composition marks. And there is no room for such lenity. Therefore; let's hone our English skill set to better serve our country.

With wishes of success & honour,

"herefore; let's hone our English skill set to better serve our country". What does it mean? What has a better service to do with good English skills?

Since FPSC is quite on the subject,So one should not believe on rumors. My suggestion is...work hard and aim for the sky. It is shocking to learn that a CSS aspirant is begging for 40+40=80 / 200.


Good Luck.

Well, i'll not comment except suggesting my fellow to indite a piece of letter to FPSC recommending the prestigious institution to exculde English Essay & Compositon papers so that it may help my dear fellow(s) to get through CSS exam easily. My fellow was right on the point that English has nothing to do with an incumbent's credibility to serve the nation at home and abroad.

No more comments

well i think , we r moving on wrong direction ,css forum is a sharing plateforum,my intention was to just confirm the statement that more than 150 candidates in our centre were introduced with this up comming rule by the examiner,in his introductroy part,i have nt by the way given any comments in that thread ,wether it should be or not to be,I WROTE LETS WAIT 4 RESULT,fpsc has not still officially introduced it but an educational consultant can never disclose such an important news just own his own behalf.ok


well now question arises wether marks should be combined or not, is quite an other discussion,being a person with english background i just want to say a css aspirant cannot compromise on these petty issues,definitely if one is competent, is it possible 4 that , person appearing in exam with the notion that marks are combined , and need not to focus on either precie or essay paper?,nooo every body has his own vision,my very very very personal opinion( n every body is free to criticise on it )CSS IS 99 PERCENT IS YOUR HARD WORk AND 1 PERCENT IS UR LUCK WHERE THIS 1 PERCENT IS MORE DOMINENT ON UR 99 percent HARD WORK ,wether marks of engliish are combined or not,good luck to all aspirants.

look friends , everybody is entitled to his or her opinion, everybody is entitled to what ever he or she wants to say but if u jeer, sneer or flout others it would not be acceptable by any stretch of imagination.what aleena said , that was not at all self corrobarating, that was the information she got and then she tried to share it with us. AS FAR AS SERVING UR NATION IS CONSIDERED ,IT HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGLISH PAPERS. IF SOMEONE DOES NOT MAKE IT BECAUSE HE OR SHE IS SHORT OF ONE MARK DOES IT MEAN HE CAN NOT SERVE HIS NATION. THE WHOLE STATEMENT WAS PREPOSTEROUS

we are dragging it to far,
the purpose of this thread was to inform others about a good or some latest news.
we should not over-react about minor things, and not no drag the whole world into our matters,
Neither this new rule (humbly reported by us ) will affect the future of english in our country,
if youlook into the matter realistically , only 5-10% people will benefit from this rule if our source was right, so
why there is a storm in the cup

If the FPSC is that much worried abt huge failure of css candidates in essay n composition,then the best way for 'em is to strictly instruct to essay/composition paper-setters n checkers to b a bit generous n forgiving,instead of being butchers.Well,it is open secret that a filtration paper particularly from compulsory ones is annually set like english/islamiat n at times GK, but sins couple of years seems that 'sui essay/composition per he attak gayee hay'...bad luck indeed for those who r weak therein..

Infact those who wish that the numbers of english(essay-comp)b marked n taken togethr are those who fear most the ESSAY...cuz its one chance n one question to attempt to...idhar ya udhar...those who give enuf time to essay prep wd give but a damn abt it..n those who r kings at learning by rote of course deem essay-passing as democles' sword hanging over 'em.

I wd b very upset to see if FPSC indeed decides to do with Anglo-skills of a candidate as it has done with GK n optionals...cuz English is a not only a lang widely spoken worldwide but basic method of attempting to b a CSP.Its neithr GK,nor optionals,but like Islamiat,which is our religion by faith n iEnglish being same abt our proffession n serivice.

FPSC,better,reduce slaughtering in hordes instead of turning to slaughter cats n dogs by changing the rules of a servant's professional language.

Regards

did any body confirm from fpsc that english papers marks are going to be aggregate 80 in order to pass the exams this year or next year
