i attempted the same topic but discussed about whole eastern region with more preference to ASEAN, CHINA, SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN. in some places i also discussed about malaysia in some aspects of progress in the east. over all my essay went average, cant estimate the result...

I am CSS aspirant and would like to appear in 2K15.
In my view the essay was not that difficult. You just need to focus on your own abilities and knowledge and do not go for academies.
This is going to be the real test of the aspirants.
Good Luck Aspirants 2K14.

The 10th essay was “Violence is the large refuge of the Incompetent”, this is what was written on question paper but here people are mentioning “Violence is the last refuge of the Incompetent” and one of my friend told me that in some centres the invigilators rectified the topic and asked them to replace large by last but in our centre nobody told us to do so and the aspirants attempted this essay under the heading “Violence is the large refuge of the Incompetent” this happened in different centres of Quetta I don’t know about the rest. Does anybody have information about this issue?
As it is a clear blunder on FPSCs side so those candidates who attempted this essay as large refuge now where they stand? And what should they do?

Attempted the third one. Main take: Knowledge production has been historically hostage to the interests of moneyed interests. Rise of centralized education systems more so. Provided 5 main points as why and how privatizing education means, serving the rich. 10 pages. Conclusion and Outline made in great haste. In last five minutes.

AOA,

These are really tricky topics!!! Now FPSC has given literary touch to the essay topics. Those who did a lot of practice, possessed pretty good current affairs knowledge and habitual reader of DAWN will surely got saved

He/she who attempted "Can meaning be fixed?" has certainly made a difference-indeed. Its certainly very tricky topic and required deep possession of artistic, logical, and analytical abilities....!

I pray to ALLAH TALA may every aspirant got passed in this and every step ahead. Ameen sumamin.
Wish you good luck for remaining papers remember me in your prayers

Profound regards,
RMKamran.
