The top 10 is always a competition between PSP and DMG, with PSP predominating almost every year.

This year however it seems that DMG guys like me, Asif and Ali Asghar might actually have left the PSP wallahs behind in this race!

FSP nearly always comes after merit number 10.

both have DMG as first preference..

FSP has still a charm but it attracts a specific sort of people, it has an established following but much lesser than DMG and PSP. Generally, people who value lifestyle instead of power et al would prefer FSP over other groups. With the emergence of IRS, FSP is likely to go further down the order. FSP mein aur bhi kafi disadvantages hein. A recently added concern is the declining image of Pakistan and Pakistanis in the world. One of my very good friends from PSP - 37th common, only dumped FSP down the order just because of this concern, he said the idea of working abroad being a "pakistani" diplomat didn't excite him very much. We have lost a lot of respect in the world in recent years, unfortunately.
I personally witnessed, on two different occasions, very senior FSP officers regretting their preference for FSP near the end of their career, with much gloom and cynicism! They had many complaints about it........But despite everything, FSP will never lose its cult following even though it may get lesser.
