as no one is sharing his experience it is definitely disappointing 4 those who wish to knw about pannels trends.for the good of the all fellow candidates m posting some of the observations by my friends who had an interview today.
the pannel is v friendly,only sir najeeb is asking detailed questions about books n personalities n events.as of today,optionals were not touched.al focus was on personality,educational background and hobbies.a few broad based current affairr questions were also asked.almost every body who came out of the room,was satisfied with the pannel.average duration is about 20 minutes.
good luck to all.pray for me as well

  • Why do you want that particular group?
  • Police order 2002 in detail?
  • What are the issues of police? why can't it maintain law and order situation?
  • What are the issues of women in Sindh?
  • Do you feel you can serve in the tough environment of police?

Default interview made easy

salam.please dont get panic with interview time and behavior of the chairman,all the things will be the same as previously,different candidates have different experiences, not all the candidates consume equal time,they look at the score of written. psychological suitability,and present approach,if you are not going to select any way they are not wasting their time as well as your time, if you dont know any thing,dont give wrong answer, just say you dont know,because if you give 2 to 3 wrong answers then they start such questions wich making fun of you,so be care full,dont sit at the edge of chair, look straight at the examiner.dress up nicely but never seductively,reply calmly even if you know the answer very well,the objective of interview ,beside personality and leadership skill is to confirm the knowledge of subject you have chosen as well as compulsory subjects, i have never failed any interview in federal or provincial exam by the grace of ALLAH.if any one has any problem like becoming confusing, or forgetting everything, or mind getting just blank, he or she can ask, your brother is here to help you, thanks

First of all good luck. I hope you get allocated. Can you please elaborate upon what they asked you about Computer science? And also what answers did you give about gender biased society? I reckon you are a female that is why they asked such a question.

So they didn't ask you anything from your optionals either? Good luck. Those were some very interesting questions and i hope you had equally interesting answers!

Hi all. I am going to share with you major questions FPSC asked one of my friends from Isl:

First they received the aspirant in a warm atmosphere and just after one minute, it all started like this:

Chairman: Tell us about your degree first and about your experience at QAUI? (my friend did her MSc in IR).
2. Why you studied IR, whereas mostly girls are interested in Literature and humanities? what did you learn out of IR?
3. What to do about regionalism in QAUI?
4. Ok tell us, whats wrong with foreign policy of Pakistan? and who is responsible ?
5. What Hans J Morgenthau says about Foreign policy and how it should be drafted? please what advice will you give to Foreign office of Pak on recent LOC issue after reading Morgenthau?
6. How to play good in Afghanistan?
7. whats future scope for Pak in EU?
8. Why you opted for Punjabi? Tell us about Kaido. Hero or Villain?
9. Whats Canyons?
10. How do you see political cliff in Pakistan? Can it affect 2014 and post 2014?

Second Member:
11. Why you want to join Foreign Service? will your parents allow you to live abroad alone? Do you see any future in FS for women?
12. What will you do if you are elected as PM of Pak in 2013 elections?
13. Whats gender mainstreaming? How it can be done? ca it help avoiding Mumbai like incidents?
14. Will situation escalate with India? Is war possible? Will you use your nukes if attacked?
15. How do you see Jap-China island issue? whats US stance on it? what Pakistan should do?

Madam Batool:
16. What are the recent pieces of legislation which give protection to women right in Pak?
17. What percentage of women, children and minorities have to suffer the social and political stigmas?
18. Who is you favorite woman hero from Pak movement?
19. what are scheduled banks?

The rest she forgot. Since her degree was in IR, she says she did well in interview.

Take Care.
