Dear plz metion the page of Daily Jang and city edition(karachi,lahore or islamabad).

I think that the policy change would be that they would allow age relaxation to people who have done their MA.... for the rest it would be 28 yrs only
plus i should be noted that when u apply for a masters degree to USA, the average age of applicants is 28-30 years....so bachelors degree should still be the pre requisite for CSS

I vehemently oppose the idea of enforcing Masters Degree Qualification for CSS mandatory, as it would leave many genuine candidates of CSS behind the Bars in the coming competition. I personally think, If a person with a simple B.A degree competes and beats those who have Masters degree then it shows that degree is not a criteria for ones eligibility. Besides, those who have gone through the syllabus and course outline of CSS would witness that the whole syllabus criteria is made keeping in mind the Graduation based education. If FPSC aspires for such a move to raise the educational criteria then they should also change the whole syllabus according to the masters degree syllabus. So that those who want the most qualified people in bureaucracy may get satisfaction.

This move will only undermine the scope of CSS in terms of real talent. In a Competitive exam your degree doesn't make you afloat rather it is your inner potential which distinguishes you in a competitive exam. So I will give my vote in the continuation of the current policy of FPSC for CSS exams.

Regards and Reverence

Can someone post an authentic source of information to this news?

As one of my respected forum member mentioned earlier that there is a relevent news in "The News", I can't find it anywhere there. Any clue on this?

i completely agree with audacious, degree is not the criteria in the competetive examination . i know many people with mphil degrees come in to the examination hall and move out moaning and grunting. i do not support this idea because it would hurt many genuine aspirants . i know many people who have ba degrees got through the mphils.the idea that u r favouring does not have solid grounds

Well i think we should wait for the decision and its approval. And if any such decision is made we should all well come it. I think for any bright and talented student degree is not problem. But i think master degree must be included in the criteria as it is the matter of the most important posts of Pakistan. And if qualification is increased age relaxation must also be given

Here is the link in which it was also suggested by World Bank to raise the education level for C.S.S
http://www.thenews.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=232218

we all know that FPSC criteria for normal grade 17 posts is masters degree so we must welcome this move.

yes we welcome this move provided that Age Relaxation is awarded and restored to the previous limit(30 yrs).
Above all now every university in pak. and, even degree colleges(not all but many) have changed 2 yr degree into 4 yr programe.so it is logical to increase the education level from bechlor to Masters.

I second the opinion on the anticipation that we get to see some mature and learned bureaucrats in the society - rather than inducting immatures and then spending huge chunk of money on their trainings ( this does not obviates the need for training ) and at the end of the day many of them fail in FPOE (Final Passing Out Examination) again.
