Hmmmmmmmm so so,its never been high scoring but very easy to prepare
Muslim Law & Jurisprudence
Good subject and average (neither high nor low)


I have no restriction from family to Join FSP Alhamdulliah!

First just concentrate how to qualify the written and how to get max marks as FSP is 3rd ranking group so atleast you should get into among top 70

After giving this whole scenario My Questions are :

Are my Optional's are Good enough to attain my goal.?
Indo pak rakh kr logo ny top bhe kya ha so yes they are good enough

What is the role of Subjects & Degree in selection for FSP.?
No specific role,your written marks,personality and interview are the basic things to be selected or nor

What strategies I Should opt to achieve my goal.?
Just beleive in yourself,listen to the mentors and seniors,follow what is feasible for you,work hard,extraa work on your weaker parts
Kisi aik adhy experienced bndy ko pakro and then uski guide line pr chalo agr wo sincere and serious mashwaray dy

How many marks should I obtained to fulfill the requirements.?
You should be among top 70 or top 50 depending upon the seats ,marks ka kuch ne keh skty as her saal merit deifferent hota

2009 me jin marks pr allocation nae hui thee,2010 me un marks per DMG ,FSP mil rhy so...............


P.S:

Aik bohot he important baat for every one who is reading this post

Well, if Foreign Service is your passion, you can consider International Law as it is equally scoring and would help you once you are on board (Insha Allah) .

So what I reckon is that you can replace Sociology or Journalism by International Law.

Looking at your combination, only Punjabi and Muslim Law are the papers which are a bit consistent in giving high scores. Rest, I am afraid, are not that much consistent .

Foreign Service is also my 3rd priority but since I am good at numeric and Scientific subjects so my combination is more of Science subjects and 100 marks subject was missing so I keeping in mind the scoring scenario as well as practical implication, I have opted International Law .

Baaqi, I belong a family of CSPs so what I have learnt from them is that CSS is a combination of 65% luck and prayers of your loved ones, 25% hardwork, and 10% your attempt of paper on that day.

Best of luck to your and your brother for prep. Lets hope that I and my 11 comrades also succeed in doing it in 2012 .
