before interview we get the opportunity of revising our preferences ,in case someone's expecting less marks and in order to enhance chances of allocation changes the preferences order given at the time of admission in such a manner that few lower merit groups occupy 3rd or 4th spot..........does this create any bad impression on the interview panel or do we get questioned for revising our pref. ????
all the respected CSPs nd seniors are requested to reply

During the process of psychological phase, one may revise one’s preferences. Usually this is done through the first form given to the candidate on the very first day of the psychological assessments process. A candidate can only mention/revise his/her top three preferences on this form. During interview, the candidate may be questioned as why he changed his preference therefore he/she should have strong reasons for this. If the candidate is able to justify the revision in preference on inquiry of the panel, it is not going to make bad impression. Sometimes, panel even doesn’t bother to ask about this revision so no worries. However, it is strongly recommended that preferences should be given carefully after proper deliberation and should not be unnecessarily changed afterwards.

Change of preference has nothing to do with allocation. Irrespective of the preference order of the candidate, he/she will only be allocated if he/she falls on the merit of that particular group. If one doesn’t fall in that group, one will automatically continue to be looked for allocation in lower order preference groups until one gets allocated. If a candidate selects only one group (e.g DMG) as his first preference and doesn’t select other groups, now if he/she doesn’t fall on the merit of DMG, he will not be allocated irrespective of the fact he could have been allocated to any other group if its preference had been given.

Overall women quota is 10%. For example, if there are 300 seats, 30 will be reserved for women. Some percentage of this will be on open merit and other will be distributed among provinces as per provincial quota for women. Being 16th among all over Pakistan means that she is the 16th woman on merit in Pakistan. Now if she doesn’t fall under overall open merit, she may compete on women quota.

Don't limit yourself to what you think people are expecting!

This perception of yours is wrong regarding the revision of preferences.It doesn't make any difference if you have lesser marks(for example you are falling in OMG merit wise) while u had DMG as your first preference.You will in any case get the group which coincides your merit.But if you have FSP as your first preference,and even if you have a score which qualifies you for the top group e.g DMG,you shall still go to FSP because that's what you opted for.Writing lower groups on top wouldn't increase your chances of allocations.

Regarding this second querry,therez a 10% women quota given to every province.For example,If Punjab has 100 seats,then 10 additional seats would be given to Punjab as women quota.These 10 seats would be spread over the occupational groups.Like for example this year,Punjab has 2 DMG women quota seats,and 1 PSP women quota seat.A total of 10 seats are there this year.It works in a complez way but I would try to explain.This year,the DMG quota of Punjab ends at 38th,40th merit number(Pakistan merit number that is).So if there is a woman in top 38 from Punjab,and has DMG as her 1st preference,she gets the DMG seat of Punjab quota.After these Punjab DMG seats are extinguished,the DMG women quote seats come into play.Thus the first two women with DMG preference would now get these seats.To make it more clear,this year,2 out of these three women(Sehar,Hafsa or Xenia,all in 40s and 50s) are going to get these women DMG seats.Hope I have explained it.

one more question i have in mind
"if someone has appeared in 2 consecutive exams say 2010 nd 2011 ........gets allocated in 2010 joins csa and consequently also passes 2011 would he be allowed to take psychological test and interview.......if yes by the time css 2011's allocations r done and he gets the group of his choice would he be allowed considering he mite be in the stp of earlier allocated group"

Yes,he would be by law.But the current establishment of CSA asks you to get your CTP deffered if you want to appear the next year.

as you said sir "if you want to appear the next year" but the written exams would have taken place before the final result of last year,if i am not wrong u meant that if alloted candidates have also appeared in ths years exam nd their result(written exam) is declared earlier than ctp they are asked to deffer it ??????? correct me if i am wrong

I mean the first exams that come after the commencement of your CTP

i beg ur pardon if i am not able to communicate my qustion prpoerly
here is fresh try
say i appeared in css 2010 passed nd got allocated nd i also appeared in css 2011 written exam now if ctp for 39th common commences earlier than declaration of css-2011 result where would i stand when i am in ctp nd i also have a passed written exam ??????????i hope now i conveyed it properly

it means half of quota reserved according to group preference(as xenia and sehar...) and half is reserved when total seats are extinguished as 4 Punjab if 100 seats are reserved then next 10 would be fall in to women quota??????
