Dear, there was an inspirational persian verse meaning that 'if you want to have a good hand writing, then keep writing and keep writing and keep writing...'
Same is the case here with essay writing, perfection will come with practice. And have some good teacher of English who could check your essay and point out your flaws. In this way you can be able to have a good grip over essay writing.
If you have further queries do ask here openly as we are here to sort each other's problems and confusions and to share our knowledge.

salam to all,
essay remains the most problematic paper. here are some suggestion for improving writing in english:

1. develop your vocabulary. the best vocabulary builder is 'word power' by 'Norman Lewis'.

2. read standard books for all subjects, prefer those referred. during preparation try to reproduce that which you think you have learnt.

3. find standard essays. you can find classic essays from 'guttenberg' website. search them with the name of 'english prose'. it will increase your skills in comprehension also, and enrich your mind.

4. practice is must. you may choose a topic every week and write an essay on it. but you need to prepare outline first, it is a scheme for your thoughts to give a logical order to them.

5. these exercises will improve your vocabulary, enrich your mind, improve yuor comprehension and writing skills. each word is an idea, if you have little words you have less ideas.

Lot of material on how to write a CSS essay have already been shared on the forum.

thank you everyone the posts are very helpful.is it possible we practice essay writing during the preparation of other courses like i studied any topic from Pakistan Affairs or any other course and than i write it in an essay format will this help? plus i do not have a good vocabulary bank so will this also cover during preparation of other courses or i will have to do some extra effort on it?

Most important thing as faar as writing essays is concerned is your ability to compose the language. One can never write an essay unless one is at home in English language and composition. Why the most of aspirants fail this paper is mainly because they are not such good at writing English as is required by the essay criterion. I've often come across many students who, though, have a fine vocab at hand yet don't know how to write properly and often complain about it. No matter how many ideas you have of a given topic you will never be able to handle it unless you have a strong grab over composing language.
Another thing, most of aspirants often seek after is new and hard-packed literary jargon, and this they think would add to the beauty and effectiveness of their writings. Consequently, their writings seem nothing more than the pieces of complex English words composed in an infantile way.
In an essay of more than 3000 words, one may use 10 hard words and yet one will, i'm sure one can, pass, only if one is apt at a fine composition.
"Practice makes a complete man": Practice is the pre-requisite for developing sound writing skills. Try writing paragraphs and short essays every day. Strart from writing on simple topics right away and gradually shift towards more complex and analytical ones with facts and figures in the front and arguments behind, and get your essays checked by the one who is more at home in English than you are.
Researches have proved that English as spoken and written language use hardly 800 word to be effectively and efficiently conveyed and these 800 word are in almost everyone's knowledge. A student who pases matriculation knows them all. What then we have to be worried about more is, composition rather than vocuballary for words' sake.
This is my humble suggestion to all the respectable beginners and aspirants that, words and ideas are useless without an strong command over language and language alone, more than anything else , is an impetus whereon you can speak of your knowledge, and success thereof.
