Keeping in view the quality of business education in our country this test was tough. We need to improve the quality of education in the first place and then set such papers.
The difficulty level of other tests for BS-17 (for other posts like Medical officer, Veterinary officer, Lecturer etc) is according to the quality and level of education in the country.

Sorry brother i dont agree with u not even 1%, what sort of shit was that to ask about state bank act, no one can read that many economic theories if he/she is not masters in economics, same is the case with management.
what sort of basic computer was that. and same is the case with arithematic portion...
in short the paper was a mess..not more than a shit.

Same here !!!!!!!!
I taught More than 20 Students and prepare them for this Test, They reached in time and attempted the paper Well. But i got Late....So the Staff did not allowed me to sit in the Exam....

Listen brother, They gave us topics in syllabus like managment theories, Economic theories,cental banking etc. Now its our responsibilty to read every thing related to that topics. I can't blame FPSC. FPSC Cant tell us that what should be included or not included.the Fault is all ours. I searched mcqs only one day before test on net and i was able to attempt 50% questions.

@Sincer khan
How they allow you?
There are more than 50 students in BISE exam lahore centre and only 15 to 20 mints late but would not allow to be sit in exam.
I agree that paper was so tuff,but such type of paper really test real mettle of candidates and negated cramming culture of guides.

I Second you. But we are also responsible for not getting quality education. now we have all the facilities like Internet, books, business magzines, we should also read latest innovations in business world. Teachers will not tell us everything.

I am seeing a lot of people trying to advocate that because it was a grade 17 job it was bound to be tough. I find this notion as quite imbecile as well. There is nothing wrong in making a test hard. But let me tell you this test was not hard it was plain stupid. Even in law related papers sections are never asked and there is an increased trend in actually allowing people to have laws and ordinances along with them during exams. Because remembering sections is a ridiculous ordeal. And whats with asking profit rates what exactly are they trying to gauge by asking what sort of investment carries what rate? and there were at least 30 questions which simply related to remembering names? Where is the knowledge and its application in that. What has this got to do with the level of education? This sort of paper actually promotes cramming by convincing people to remember names. But if some one had a slightest bit of idea what to expect in the paper its preparation would have taken less than an hour to prepare for it. Just remember profit rates and names of all the economic development and management theories and you are ahead of everyone by 30 to 40 marks easily. The test was plain ridiculous.

All of you are having irrelevant discussions. The main issue is the nature of syllabus which had been given . Economic theories/development means full course of economics. Mba's don't study that much economics as compared to Msc Economics students.

Public finance is totally different subject and Mba's don't study that. While, management theories are not studied by the students of economics .

So, its extremely confused syllabus in terms of degree specialization required and stated for this post.

Moreover, just mentioning subject name is not syllabus rather the contents must have been mentioned.
