Romesa I don't think that any one felt hurt by your comment. I strongly agree with your point that people are sometime taking advantage of their domicile, Yes, this is the biggest flaw in system that we do not check that where the candidate has been living? He gets allocation on the bases of his domicile. There should be (if it is not there) a condition that a candidate can only be considered against any provincial quota if he has got some 70% of his education from that province or what so ever is the status of that territory. I was asked about this thing in my psychological assessment, she (psychiatrist) asked, "you are applying on AJK quota but have mentioned your address as Islamabad". I answered," yes, but I have my complete 16 years of education from AJK." And then during my interview first thing that Rana BhagwanDas sb said was: So you are a Kashmiri and have got your complete education from Kashmir.

Its a competition and every candidate know its rules, so there is no point to complain my dear fellows

Sorry but not. But you have ample opportunities. Please apply for DDO Accounts in Punjab Public service Commission.

@seep

have you already written to the PM and President?

I think it should be advocated that thislarge number of candidates qualifying but not being allocated, should get appointments in other departments/organzations/ministeries of Federal Govt for which FPSC condcuts seperate tests.

The difference between the allocated and non allocated is very small in terms of marks, and it is most of the times a combination of a weak performance in just one or two papers or the factor of "low scoring trend" in one or two subjects that causes many candidates to loose it all together.

There is no denial that this subjectivity in the exam pattern as well as the scoring trend phenomenona does paly a big role, and at times its very frustatring that regardless of your hardwork these outside factors would deprive you of just a few marks and ultimatley a life time opportunity to be part of civil service of Pakistan.

I think some justice needs to be done to the non allocated. The authorities need to bring some solution to this issue.

Govt cant allocate 880 qualifiers.Think realistically.Your letters of appeal will go directly into dust-bins..Its harsh but its true.So start working hard for next attempt if you have any attempt left.

GULRUKH its not about the allocation of this years qualifiers, its about an equally large number almost every year. See there needs to be some thought over it. These people are all fine brains and they have crossed a certain bar. See either the criteria needs a change or there needs to be some sort of recognition. The whole process is so long that it takes years and then after putting in so much effort, so much time and alot of opportunity costs associated to it, you just loose it all and just with such a small difference.

A year's study and passing of about similar number of courses earned me an MBA. But alot more effort into CSS and even qualifiying it hasnt even earned me a certificate even, wo he day dain Its not at all just with alot of people out there.

And to add to misery when you see a person getting education from almost the same educational institites as you, and performing almost equally or even lilttle bad and getting allocated just coz of a different domicile it does add to the frustation

I second Farhad. Just for an example, AJK has 3.5 mn population which means 2% of population. The refugees from Indian Occupied Kashmir living in Pakistan are 1.5 mn which is a little less than 1% of Pakistan's population. They apply for CSS on the basis of AJK state subject domicile, without even staying one night in AJK.

The AJK Quota in CSS is 2% however the population which gives exam against this quota is 5 mn (3.5 AJK + 1.5 Refugees residing in Pakistan) which makes it a little less than 3% of Pakistan's population.

Therefore, I strongly think that the AJK quota, considering the competing population of 5 mn, should be given 3% quota.

I am sorry if I hurt anyone but this is reality.
