CSS 2020 Special Exam
 

Special CSS exam will be conducted in November/December 2020. On only quota based seats of the provinces.
Another chance for the CSS aspirants.

PM has allowed for conduct of special CSS exam to fill the vacant seats of backward areas of the country. If the situation normalises the exam would be conducted in Nov/Dec this year: Says PM's special Assistant for Establishment.

PM Imran Khan approves special CSS exam to fill 188 vacancies in federal services carried over in last few yrs. Balochistan 49, Rural Sind 41, Urban Sind 19, KP 22, ex Fata/GB 16 & AJK 2 and 39 for Punjab minorities.

The Central Superior Service (CSS) exam is conducted every year in February. However, as of 2019, there are 189 vacant seats quota wise for the candidates from all provinces.

To fill these vacant seats, the Federal Public Service Commission has announced that the special CSS exam will be conducted in December 2020 to fill these seats.


The Special Assistant to Prime Minister ON Establishment Division, Shehzad Arbab has confirmed that the exam will be taken in December fill these vacant seats.

It is important to note that there are vacant seats from three provinces including Sindh rural which has 41 vacant seats, Sindh Urban 19, Baluchistan has 49 vacant seats, 2 seats for Federal Capital including Islamabad, while KPK has only 22 remaining seats ,and Punjab minority has 39 seats for the country’s top most exam CSS to select the bureaucrats.

Importantly, it is worth mentioning that the regular exam of CSS will be taken as per its schedule in February 2021.

This is first time in history that the special CSS exam will be conducted as per the same rules, and procedures as it is conducted in February each year.
According to sources, Federal Public Service Commission chairman and the government officials has agreed upon the same. The advertisement of the exam will be published in next month when the coronavirus situation becomes normal.

Why will the special CSS exam be conducted?
The CSS exam is conducted each year in February to select bureaucrats who implement the laws of state. It is noteworthy that due to uneven education system across provinces, the candidates of Sindh, Baluchistan, and KPK can not qualify the exam due to academic lack. Therefore, each year seats remain vacant for Baluchistan, Sindh, KPK, and women seats of all provinces including Punjab. Therefore, these seats are carried forward for next year and the dilemma remains same. Therefore, the incumbent government of PTI has decided to take CSS exam for vacant positions for Sindh which has 41 vacant seats for Urban domiciles candidates, while, Baluchistan has 49 vacant seats. KPK has 16 vacant seats this for CSS 2020. The women quota has 38 vacant seats across Pakistan in all provinces including Federal Capital Islamabad and Azad Jammu& Kashmir.
Women from all provinces including Punjab can compete for these 38 vacant seats as well.

I really do not understand the purpose of Special CSS exams. FPSC had highest number of aspirants who took 2020 exam; almost 20k students took exams ,and chances of vacant seats being filled is higher than ever so why to go for this special exam rather than selecting aspirants from 2020.
Also, I really do not believe that FPSC has the capacity to take exam of national leve; in such short period of time.

Yes i share the same thoughts that FPSC is not capable to conduct the exam in short span. more over right after Lock-down there will be pressure on FPSC to conduct the Pending exams.
All i see right now is government has given a statement to console the students and to just give hopes in this very tough time when unemployment is at its peak point.

Would you go for special attempt or avail your attempt in 2021??

I have read that the special exam will not be counted as an attempt

so why not give it before CE 2021?

Assalamoalikum

Any idea about the rules regarding the age of the candidates that would be applied for special CSS examination? Are they same as the rules which were advertised in 2019?

Thanks

This looks like a trap to waste your precious attempt. Maybe worth it if you are from a "backward" region but otherwise you are better off with 2021 attempt. Who knows what hurdles will you face if you take this attempt. Already FPSC and all other PSCs are lagging tremendously in terms of completing hiring processes.
