PSC Computer Science Subjects

[seemees]

Salam to all:
KPK recently announced various posts in their ad no. 02/2012.
I am interested in all those post which require master degree in computer science. So i am going to apply for those posts as i have done my master in computer science.

The posts i am applying for are:
1. Male IT Teacher
2. Assist. Director Web: Database Admin
3. Assistant Programmer

Now i need some information from experienced brothers and sisters for the preparation of the exam, if you kindly guide me through this, i will be very thankful.
I need to know the subjects included in the test, Past papers, and books.
As i expect the major part of the test in my case would be computer science related, so if some can provide past papers related to this field, it would be of great help for me.

Thank you

Dear before applying for any post first of all thoroughly read the required qualification and experience.
1.Male IT Teacher: for this post you must have a B.Ed degree/certificate which I am cent percent sure that 99% of IT Students would not possess.

2. Assist. Director Web: Database Admin (It is basically objective type test and there are questions from almost all of the computer subjects which you have studied in your bachelor/master degree i-e programming, database, AI etc. )

3. Assistant Programmer (requirement is 2years progmming experience if you have this then follow the same stuff as that of AD Post).

Regards.

Thank you Asif for your valuable information. Your are right about the b.ed. I havn't done it yet. So i will not apply for that post.
I have experience more than two years, but i worked during my studies, will that be count as experience for Assistant programmer post, OR experience gained after the completion of degree is only counted?
Thank you

Dear only post qualification experience is acceptable so dont apply for AP Post. I think you are only eligible for AD post so go for it and wish you a very very goodluck.

Do you have any info. about how to calculate From CGPA, whether its a First Class or Second class degree. I have BSCS (04 years) degree in computer science. As i have got the info from HEC website, that a four year Bachelor Degree is considered equivalent to MSc. degree (Master degree). Now i am confused about whether my degree is First class or Second class. Kindly help me in this regard.
Thank you

Dear Class applies to bachelors degrees. It's basically the grade you got in your degree,something like the american GPA.
Every university will have a different way of awarding classes and it will differ from degree to degree as well.
In my opinion you should not confuse yourself. In a simple way If they ask for a class, they are probably referring to your bachelors degree. Also, a bachelors degree is sometimes called "a first degree". I hope it will clear your query.
2ndly you are 100% eligible for this post so go for it.

Regards.
