I have Political Science as optional as wel as pursuing Masters degree in it .Kindly state the questions asked in this regard if any other candidate had gone through this interview thing .

Interview started at 30pm. At that point of time, the situation in Karachi was deteriorating each minute and the news of IG Sindh resignation was in the corridors, when I was called for interview with the panel.
I greeted Good Afternoon, to which Chairman Sahab replied Assalam u Alaikum and then asked me to take a seat.
Chairman sb started the interview: Your profile is fit for a job in a multinational company, why do you want to join civil service?
Chairman : You studied Textile Science and Management Marketing, why didn’t you study social sciences in higher studies.
Chairman: You want to be in foreign service, In a individual capacity, how have you presented a soft image of Pakistan in your interaction with foreigners ?
Chairman: Is the human rights record better in present government or the previous government?

The next panelist asked about London riots 2010 and whether David Cameron austerity measures were responsible for it. He also asked about APTMA, recommendations to improve tax base
3RD Panelist focused on environment, corporate social responsibility, environmental impact assessment, and how the place where I work manage the issues of environment
4th Panelist (Najeeb Sahab) started speaking me in French. He asked me why I learned the language and how does French language helps me. His questions were regarding Eurozone crisis and how France, Spain and Greece are faring. He also asked me potential regions where Eurozone type union can be formed and viable.
There was visible commotion and fidgeting with mobile during the interview as the law and order situation was deteriorating minute by minute in Karachi. The female panelist even left the room once to attend a call.
The interview finished at 3:30pm. There were 3 people waiting to be interviewed after me.

Thumps up for retaining your confidence during the interview. It was a difficult one
Did they ask any questions from your optionals?
Best of luck

The trickiest of the question was by the chairman. He asked there are reports of Pakistan army accused ofviolating human rights in Balochistan and in the peacekeeping forces in Congo. How do you respond to such reports and articles on your Facebook and twitter ?
I replied there are mechanism inside the Pakistan Army to prevent such violations and I trust Pakistan Army so I don't respond to such propaganda and baseless reports.

And there was a question on the positive and negative impact of Zia's era on Pakistan.

I replied positives, a war was averted with India, atom bomb research and planning, foreign aid were positives
The negatives were unconstitutional amendments, Islamization, sectarian and human rights violation especially to women.

I have read your interviews, I have noticed that first of all they are asking about your city belonging, then they try to ask question from that, secondly, the focus on your education from metric to masters. Then they ask about your matriculation, intermediate or master, then they relate your master with your choiced group preference. If you are masters in IR then they say why do you want DMG? and so on. Besides, they ask question from your job, if you are doing job so.


Actually I have a question is that how they know that you have done matriculation from dash and masters from dash and so on. And how they know about your favorite books etc. They give you form to submit these things at the moment or how many prior to the interview. Or they check our academic background from our concerned univiersities/boards etc.

Actually I have done double masters, one is regular and other is from college side. And both are done in same year, now I am tensed may be it is wrong. So, If I present only my master degree which is regular and skip my private degree, will it be a problem, will they check it? Please I am little bit tensed, help me about it....(I have double masters from same university, one is regular and second is private)

Thanks...

They have our educational profile with them, I think the one that we submit on the day of psychological assessment.
