Nazik,

the worst thing about csa is that they're treating us like college students. this was not the case in the past. you don't feel like officers here except when you are dealing with your room bearer.

all the best.

Hi...The older batches had to go through the same routine....singling out any one person as a cause for the felt misery is not gonna work...The system was designed by people from the NSPP, not the people being currently blamed for it.
Besides....lets learn to make the best of what we have got...
The CTP is getting better after the Foundattion course save for the quality of the teachers....lets see how it progresses with time.
See you guys at PT time

yes wen we, 36 comm, were there at CSA; we did hear about such a thing. its about completing credit hours in relevant subjects to fulfil the criteria laid down by the HEC.

our Chief intructor sir Aamir hassan told us then that officers from all the groups will have to study atleast 60 credit hrs of relevant courses in both CTP and STP, to be eligible for the subject degree.

at that time it was heard that, DMG, and financial services like Tax, Customs, Accounts and Comerce do fulfil the criteria, not sure about the others. although NSPP has been given the status of a Degree awarding institution by the HEC, and its NSPP who determines the course outline for both CTP and all the departmental STPs. but this degree issue is still in transition.
