@ jalali9226

Do visit article section of forum, post it there and don't forget to mention source of article for sake of authenticity.

But if it is your own research or views then you can post into relevant section without writing source .

Let me be brief:

1) Read Dawn critically not passively

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Emphasis should be on Opinion and Editorial pages.I think we should be guard on to save our time. For this my suggestion should be that we should not read front pages or intenational pages just for news.We can save time by watching some good tv channel,e.g., BBC for international news and Aaj tv and Geo, etc., for domestic news. They are often enough for news.[/COLOR]

2) Read Dawn's Letters to the Editor

There are often very great debates going on there.You occasionally get many points to take notes for yourself from a small piece of writing.Do remember many people do not read these letters and hence waste very invaluable stuff.

3) Dawn's "Encounter" page on every Saturday and "Economic and Business Review" section on Monday.

In these pages there are pearls of analysis and knowledge.You can ignore them only at a very high cost.

4)We are often ill-advised to ignore The News.

The News on Sunday has a section "Political Economy",only a non-serious CSS aspirant would won't read it and not take notes from it.

5) And not the least rather it is all-embracing: search for some academic writing on important issues for Pak. and Current Affairs.

You can contact to any of your acquaintances(of M.phil or Ph.D) to get knowledge about how you can get them.I am quite confident that if you read one good research paper on any given topic,it can prepare you to deal with that theme from varied dimnesions. I will dwell on the point (5) later if anybody needs my guidance.


And finally criticism on my suggestions is more than welcome.


Bye with wishing you the best of luck.

@ arsalan84
if u dont have any knowlege regarding CSS ,u should visit the beginner section. It's precise and easy to understand.

Beginners Guide to CSS Competitive Examination : CSS Forums - Pakistan Civil Service

and u can check age limits and other beneficial information in:

Rules For CSS Competitive Examination - CSS Forums

and if u want to calculate ur age the visit:

age calculator

Hope this work..

Though I am not M.A.N, so apologize for 'meddling'. Consider following sources when preparing for CSS.

1. DAWN - a must source for CSS aspirants.
2. Herald - monthly magazine by Dawn group
3. Current Affairs by Dr. Safdar Mehmood - its a monthly collection of research reports. I found it of great quality
4. The Economist - only "Leader" and "Briefing" pages would suffice for candidates appearing for written.

These resources would help you not only in CA, Essay and Pak Affairs but also in optionals.

u should start reading newspapers from tomorrow and read it till the day u appear in the exam.

there is no need to make notes from newspaper. just write down the facts and figures in bullet form. even if u dont, u will automatically remember the facts and figures if u read it regularly.
