bhai ahmed. i know how r u feeling coz i am also in the same situatiion as you coz i only gt 22 out of 100 while i m dead sure that i had like 12 objectives correct and comprehension was so easy n direct indirect and corrections..it just seems that the professwors only gave marks to the ones who had good writing..i m so depressed that i cant believe it but i cant get the paper rechecked coz they also failed me in english essay ...i am so angry at the professor but i know the english professor is surely an uneducated guy who is from some rural city and he needs those words which he has never heard before. i m pretty sure he has given marks to those who had learnt some difficult words in place of the most commonly used words.
on this thread people are only having conversations about which subject is to be replaced by what but they are not giving attention to the issues people like u are facing..
u can get it rechecked n they charge some fees for that but they will nvr change the decsion until and unless they would have commited a very big blunder which is highly unlikely coz i also got 22 and alot of people have got 15 16 ..its matter of luck not hardwork...
Css is luck as no body can prove that how wud a person like u who had 18 at least correct objectives n u got 20. i am sure corruption is the part of the system and i am sure that people use their power to misuse the system.. if my father would have been alive i would have made sure that my papers were checked correctly at least so what can u expect from a person whose father is a css officer and most of these guys who have passed are the children of beauracrates

it's a yearly trend
last year it was esaay
now it's precis papers that has been hit hard !!!


well, try your luck and stay hopeful !!!!

So are you insinuating that those of us who have passed & have bureaucrat fathers, we bribed our way to success?? surely you have some proof as you are not only insulting such candidates & maligning their fathers but also questioning the integrity of FPSC and its examiners..

and what do you have to say about those friends of mine who are sons of IG ranked officers but couldnt make it?

i understand your frustration, believe me i do..but as long as you will continue to externalize your failure (i.e attribute it to external forces) i am afraid your dream will remain elusive..
