Well I have my Masters in English Literature. CGPA also not bad. Also had English Literature in my graduation. Yet I haven't opted it. And many other prominent forum members Farah Zafar hasn't also opted English Literature as it really is among low scoring subjects. And it isn't a myth. It is reality. And I have seen aspirants suffering who opt for it in this confidence that they would create the difference.

Pls don't discourage aspirants... I opted eng literature in pms and with just a good attempt, not a very good attempt at all, I scored 130... What else do u need? So pls stop spreading this misconception...

PMS was entirely a different thing. Have you seen public add score of PMS ? Huge majority crossing 130 or 140. And Eng Lit like Pub Add and Punjabi has been among high scoring there one my friend has 142 in Eng lit in PMS. But the very same person had 109 in CSS 2011 and 101 in CSS 2012. It is not discouraging the aspirants. Rather showing them the reality of the CSS exam that for securing better position , subject selection does matter. If majority of the aspirant having masters in literature , do not opt it , there definitely is something wrong with it. And the experience of many competent friends proves this notion.

well,being an MA English Literature myself, we have rarely enjoyed inflated marking even in Masters. basically its the higher standard in all respects which is demanded by the examiner. CSS is all about scoring marks. The purpose isn't to demoralize but to help seeing the clearer picture. Rest Seniors can tell better

PMS is way more difficult and a dash i must say. Still, i dont know the standards or whatever, all is know is that the senior members u have mentioned about may not be courageous enough to opt for it or may be they have already opted for urdu from the same group and hv no option... give examples of somebody who can be called responsible. give examples of Last Island. what have 'MakhzaaneAdab' (urdu) to do with english literature if they do not prefer their english degree.. anyways this is only my view point, u ppl are wiser than i am :-) all i'd say is that if u dont opt urself then dont let others do the same and dear lady we all are masters in the subject who comment here so dont tell us about ur masters :-)

@Asim Khan. Go for literature, it won't bite anybody who will love it

thats great. you won't need their help now as well, just avoid nkm type stuff, you'll find quality and the pattern to attempt in, here on the forum in the english literature tab. just follow seniors of the forum, p.s not me at all :P, we have Last Island, follow her, and you'll score 130 plus which the best i guess. all others who have opted or those who havent even opted, friends like tasawar and others, they are very helping, dont hesitate to ask them.. best of luck!
