Exclamation Do you blame FPSC's marking in Essay?
I have seen some people on the the internet blaming FPSC for such a low marking in Essay 2013
i.e. 3 marks , 6 marks , 10 , 12 etc.

What you guys have to say about it?

It shows the sheer incompetence of the students. Frankly speaking most of the students have not developed a good reading and writing habit. They rely on filling sheets with their own mysterious stories rather than producing quality material.

Diplomatic is partially right, but there lies an another issue too. Until you bother to understand the real meaning of a topic and write relevent material, you wil be given no marks. I am anticipating the same story this year too.
I.e nations win without fighting
majority of the students have mixed the meaning of fighting with that of war as dialogue was a common topic those days. Now as they did not comprehend the true meaning of the topic, I am really really apprehensive of their fate.

What if a student had wrote a quality material and is sure to get passing marks atleast and the paper checker marked his/her essay like thousands of failing candidates by assuming that he/she is one of the failing list of aspirants in a hurried manner, may be.

So many candidates failing may be due to poor quality of essay writing on the part of the majority, but how does anyone explain the fact that securing marks above 70 or 80% in essay is so rare? I think that's not because no one is good enough but because the standards may be set unrealistically high by the checkers.

And what about precis and grammar , we know there are mathematical marks like idoms and narration , then why majority of students fail to achieve 70 plus marks in this paper .

The reason for such low scores in essay are various. Main being misunderstanding the theme, straying away from the topic in between, poor brainstorming at the start and poor ending and introduction. And even if someone manages to cover all these bases, most of aspirants fail to use good vocabulary, repeat there thoughts and do not use relevant Quotes. CSS is a competitive exam and essay paper judges the true capabilities of the candidates. So in my opinion FPSC is doing right and the candidates are the one to blame for the low scores.
