This info which has been provided by our respected member Islah_G seems to be the most accurate info, as it has been provided in a magazine published by the FPSC.Futhermore someone told me the exact numbers when i asked him to check the number of seats. Cannot say much about the allocations. The last time i checked was about 3-4 days back and the it was revealed that the establishment division was busy in the transfers and stuff and hence the delay. Now i have heard that they have sent the final numer of seats etc to the FPSC. Rumour has it that Chairman sb, wants to announce the allocations before he retires ( Monday or Tuesday ). Lets all wait and see.

Best of Luck.

Can u share some tips with us regarding your Interview? I maen u got 182 marks in interview,which are very high as far as CE-2008 interview scores are concerned...plz share your COMPLETE interview + your peparation regarding interview.

Awarding of marks varies from year to year for example this year I have got 794 marks in written(they are highest) but last year highest marks in written were 761(dr Khalil's who has got second position).Someone has told me that my written marks are highest in CSS after Dr Asif Shehzad who took 804 in written in 2003

It was long ago... (Nov 13th 2008) but I will certainly try to remember as much of it as I can and post that.
As far as preparation is concerned, in my opinion group preparation strategy is successful (courtesy: my group mates )
We had lot of discussions with each other and prepared in a light but focused environment, and keeping in view the very short time we had at our hands, I think we managed to end up well ALHAMDULILLAH.

aoa, starz
i fully agree to MHM abt the interview criteria.
Also its not just what you r saying that counts,there, but things like ,your posture, body language, style of expression, psychologists statements and the detailed mark sheet, which is in front of the penal,is of great importance. even the rise n fall in the pitch of your voice n the artificiality of one's accent(if theres any) counts.
one more thing, writing an interview or talking of it is very different from the situation which you face infront of the penal.so i guess its all the matter of fate n nothing more.

hi to every body
why allocations 2008 has been delayed?

Brother the allocations have been delayed because the outgoing chairman left the charge on 31st march after the expiry of his tenure and the new chairman has not been appointed by our Government.... according to the procedure of announcing allocations, at first stage the establishment finalise the number of seats to be announced after the consent of Prime minister... In 2nd stage, the FPSC's secrecy branch allocates from the list of successful candidates and send it to Chairman FPSC for his signatures ... & at 3rd stage the list is sent to Establishment where the notification is issued in Gazette of Pakistan and after the notification the final list is again sent back to FPSC which finally publishes that list...

so since there is no chairman right now therefore the our allocations are at stage 2..... it will remain their till the time Government does not appoint a new Chairman... According to unconfirmed reports, Mr. Shoaib Saddal's name is underconsideration for this prestigious position.... he is also a man of honour and a very learned and seasoned bureaucrate tinged with fearlessness and furtive spirit.... According to me he has alot to offer to FPSC....so hope for the best...
