CDA ambitiously initiated a housing project in the outskirts of the town for the labourers who earn 600-1000 Rs. daily. The basic lay out, planning and infrastructure of the project has been laid with the help of government funds. Due to some budgetary constraints government cannot allocate more funds for the project and has issued a directive announcing that it cannot dump more money in a project from where there are no chances of recovery.

first day exercises are same for all, many things suman has shared. you can easily do the tests by practicing any intelligence test book.

Moreover, on first day you have to write autobiography in 8 minutes, and you have choice to write either in english or urdu. same choice is there for picture story writing.

sentence completion is very important exercise in which you have to complete 35 sentences in 8 minutes. (this exercise repeats in the end, with some new sentences, and some re-phrased ones). Through this they judge your alertness of mind, and truthful projection of your personality as you dont have much time to think. if you leave questions, it shows that you tried to control your natural response and fabricate some answers to project your better image. that's why, try to complete all sentences in due time. its important.
some examples of sentences completion are: (these are what i can remember)
1. brothers never------------
2. fathers are generally--------------
3. I fear -----------------
4. I avoid eye contact -----------
5. I get jealous --------------
6. He impressed me by------------

8. I felt important------------
9. bribe is justified------------
10. I was embarrassed------------

3. How do you want others to remember you?
4. How do you impress others when you meet them for the first time?
5. Any action/habit which you don’t like of i) your parents ii) siblings
6. Mention those issues which hamper you to enjoy life?
7. Any hilarious moment of your life?
8. Which considerations would you like to keep in mind for the upbringing of your children?
9. Symptoms which show that you are stressed?

I wish you all a very best of luck. remember me in your prayers.

Group Disscussion topics

Arab spring was US conspiracy

My Command task was
A special committee has been assigned the job to propose plan to increase the primary education ratio to 100% in next 10 years.no designation was assigned.
Some other candidates’ task were like:

1…Cyclone has hit Karachi and has displaced fishermen and destroyed all their vessels and tools.Now prepare a strategy for their rehabilitation.

2….transporters have began strike and have taken all the public transport off the roads.the reason is that a driver has killed a policeman in an accident.case has been lodged against him under section 302(intentional accident)but transporters are demanding that case should be registered on basis of another section which say accident due to negligence.Now being secretary home dept prepare a paln how to deal with the situation.

3…propose a plan to formulate code of ethics for media.

On first day there were different tests 2 sentence completion tests 35 sentences in 8 minutes each.240 personality related questions in 1/2 an hour,3 picture story writing, 6 analytical problems in 30 minutes each problem had 4 questions to be answered.another test 50 or 60 questions of word relation,synonyms and mathematics.n yes a test in which figures were given in series and we had to tell which comes next in series.


Analytical questions were like composition questions as said by eager. Practice from a good psychological book will be enough for first day.plus you can practice ISSB psychological test books as pattern is almost same.
A little example that i recall is as following.

Ahmed and Hameed's company has arranged a company picnic.ahmed said to hameed he will stop by his house to take his family for picnic.but hameed said as picnic is in the evening they need to be off from the work earlier otherwise it will be difficult to go with them.on this Ahamed said company will facilitate them.
now 4 questions were asked from the paragraph like

Hameed and Ahamed work for same company
they are neighbours.
they work for steel mill.
There were 4 options we have to chose correct one.


You should include 3-4 suggestions of your group members also as it will have positive impact.it will show you value recommendations of your team members and believe in team work.

Solution to my command task went like:
1.Media campaign to aware parents and community of importance of the primary education.
2.Improving infrastructure of schools and making ghost schools functionals.
3.making syllabus up to date and interesting according to the needs of community.
4.incentives for poor students..etc etc.

Thanks, suman and Eager!

By the way, suman, why were you asked religious question? Just wondering...

Why you are wondering Junaid??? i was asked religious questions because i have done masters in Islamic studies plus have Islamic history as optional.moreover they asked me "Which Islamic period fascinates you most?" i replied Holy Prophet's (PBUH) period then they asked other relevant questions...i think your confusion will be removed now.

Best of Luck for your interview.
