Seniors please need your guidance regarding CA. I am CSS 2013 aspirant. I am facing difficulty in CA. How i should divide topics. Hw should i come to know which topics i should study or which i should leave???

Checkout the syllabus or outline of CA. You will come to now what to study . Divide the portions accordingly. Make a register or file and paste the related material fom newspaper or other sources in to it. If u r a beginner that just read dawn editorials. After 15 or 20 days start reading front page, international page. Later on, refer to current affair magazines. I am sure, this would help u.

Current affairs is a must for a CSS candidate; almost every question is touched with the flavor of CA by the examiner, be it sociology, journalism, public ad, pak affairs, islamiyat or essay.

So, please do comprehensive study of this area. Don't go for traditional way: dividing the current affairs paper into organizations, pak events, intl events etc. Rather try to be having "global" thinking and broader view of each problem. I would recommend the following material.

1. Dawn Newspaper ( correctly suggested by Anaya Shah: Go through front page, back page, international pages and editorial/opinion pages. never miss yellow pages on mondays)

2. Worldtimes magazine (Monthly) (though only 5-6 good articles, but it gives ample information about css, questions techniques etc.)

3. Current Affairs Digest (Monthly) by Safdar Mehmood (Just study relevant research reports. You may post names of all reports here and seek guidance from members)

4. Strategic Studies Journal (Quarterly) (again: just read relevant material. it does include v v good reports)

5. Islamabad Policy Research Institute (IPRI) Journal (Quarterly) (Again: just read relevant material. Dr. Noor's reports are worthy to be eaten and drunk in whole )

I know it is a lot but see it will help in each and every question of CSS.

I have provided the links to the websites however it is better that you purchase its copies. You may get them from Mr. Books in Jinnah Super or Saeed Books in Super in Islamabad.

Thanks alot Anaya shah and Rose Pak...
Especially Rose Pak for such a detailed answer. Also need your guidance regarding Islamiyat.

Where i can get it in Lahore????

you are welcome dear. For Islamiyat go through Khursheed Ahmad's book. Additionally, friday features in Dawn are very important.

I have some good notes of Islamiyat, will update on this forum in few days. you may go though them as well. but please never use other persons notes as final, rather do your own study.

I am sorry, dont know about Lahore. But I am sure you can easily find these in Lahore; Lahore to CSS ka garh he yar.
