I think age limit should extend to 30 years. The level of education in Pakistan is very low and most of the students start their academic career at the age of 6 years in rural areas. There is a hell of difference in the mental caliber of a student coming from a Urdu medium Govt.school and that from an English medium school. Urdu medium students require more time for preparation. There are huge number of students that have to financially support their family and they don’t have enough time to pay proper attention to their studies. They should be given time.
There is no proper career counseling in Pakistan. Most of the students don’t have proper information about CSS or other competitive examinations.
And two years relaxation in age limit will not affect any sort of energy level or innovation.
One of my friend is working as AD LDA and LDA is not giving him leave to appear in CE-2011. SO he may not be able to appear in CE-2011. What should he does? Do you think he should quit the job ? People are committing suicide for want of job. He may be far more competent than many other csps as he has education and experience too.
Apnay mulk k halat dekh kr hi chalna chahye hai.

i agree with mussa's comments bcz there no standard schools'cologs'and universities in rural areas of pak..so first give them aichesion cologe'beacon huse schols etc then i vl suggest to reduce the age limit to 26 than 28...our education standard is vry low so the age limit shud be incresd tht most of the students frm rural parts of pak may prepare and appear n civil service of pak...

I am agree with the above comments that the age limit must be extend to 30 years.

The writer has forgotten that in many major countries upper age limit age for civil services is 30 years......are they stupid enough to ignore such merits of lower age criteria?

i dont see any common sense in trhis statement that relax the upper age limit for css competitors and also increase educational requirement..it is a competitive exam where u hve to fight in the same ground and everybody work devotedly to beat the others so educational qualification,graduation is sufficient...the mettle is checked on the day and its the performance on the which counts..let the graduates,masters and Ph.Ds compete on equal footings and AS POET SAID JIS DIYA MAIN DAM HOGA WO DIYA REH JAYA GA........SECONDLY ALSO CONSIDER THE POOR LITERACY RATE OF OUR COUNTRY...

boss aik diya ap flood main rakh do aur aik AC walay kamray main to ye tou insaf nai hai. Agar ye tha to Pakistan hi kiun bnaya. Kr lete Hindus k sath muqabla.
doosron k liye bhi opportunity create krni chahye.Hr cheeze main muqabla nai hota.

I totally agree with Mussaa. Age LImit should be Increased. Someone can do Master but cannot reverse his age.

For bachelors it should be 28 years, for masters 30 years, for PHD 35 years.
