I took CSS 2011 n unfortunately went for islamiat in urdu....the main reason for selecting urdu was dat through out academics we study islamiat in urdu. i hoped dat i will benefit from my previous memory. but islamiat is a second name for current affairs now. I found it hard to use good urdu words n my paper lacked expression. After completing 5,6 yrs of uni education, we remain out of touch frm urdu n we r more fluent in written english than in urdu. so better to go for islamiat in english..

i think this vary person to person...there are lot of people who found some difficulty thinking in English, therefore people select Islamiyat in Urdu...

I agree with maria, I was thinking going for it in english, but decided not to change my decision at the eleventh hour..... now i lamant dat it would have been better if i had solved it in english....before starting my preparation, i frequently visited this site to get an idea abt eng/urdu......everyone said dat opt the language in which u feel easy.............i just want to say that islamiat is now a B paper of currentaffairs......the candidates must decide whether they can solve a currantaffairs paper better in eng/urdu..........forget its not the islamiat v used 2 study n wrote bundles of pages n pages

AOA
I agree, now it is related to Current Affairs. I also did the paper in Urdu. But now its only a remorse. I have to chose English.

Urdu or English is not an issue, go for the medium in which you are the best.. If you are best in Urdu thn must attempt paper in urdu.

I concur. Your medium of answer should not depend upon the type of paper lol. That just sounds so unconnected.

You should attempt the paper in any medium you feel comfortable about.

I think it vary person to person . But my personal experience suggests that its far better to attempt the paper in english . In my maiden attempt I attempted Islamyat paper in urdu and it brought about my fall . I did good in rest of the papers but failed in this paper . Yes my paper was not upto mark but I feel my bad handwriting was one of the cheap factors which resulted in my failure . Besides bad handwriting , it was very slow both in thinking as well as writing . I hardly could write questions . This year I have attempted the paper in english . Not only my writing was better , I was in better position and had better expression while doing my paper . And I did give conclusion of all questions . Moreover I was able to write quite good number of pages while last year I couldn't even finish my allotted sheet . So keeping in they my personal experience I would give brotherly suggestion to all the aspirants to think seriously about attempting this paper in English . Nothing aao be predicted but I an almost certain that I would be able to pass this subject with the grace of Almighty Allah, the subject which proved to be nightmare for me last year . May Allah be with me . I an giving this suggesition because giving proper suggesition is also Sadqa .
