My story isn't a sad one ........
I applied for GDP back in 2006 nd was recommended by ISSB.
as far as my experience is concerned so i won't blame the so called " Holy Cow". I mean c'mmon be realistic if u get some thing its good but if u don't it turns out to be bad thats not fair. The selection procedure is not only about how perfectly one performs his/her tasks but it also includes one's mental nd physical health, positive attitude nd above all the spirit to serve for armed forces of PAKISTAN.

I m extremely sorry if I crossed ur rules, but let me mention why the post hs bn titled "Not Recommended both times... Alhamdulillah".... isn't it bit cynical????? Doesn't it deserve to be deleted like my post?????

Rules should be same for all... I hereby request for its deletion

Let me start by saying that I love this topic. I'd say to all of you that it's just a matter of attitude ( a cliche? ) - one of my friends was refused admission into the M.Phil course of GC, and while informing me about it he said, "GC has FAILED to pass me!"

Also, for what it's worth, I'd say that army is not for extraordinary individuals, seriously. According to some informed sources, army rejects people even if they happen to be too intelligent!

While I didn't myself have the honor of getting rejected in the ISSB, they did "fail to pass" me in CSS. Well, they did try their best, I mean they passed me in the written, and the medical and then the interview, but then, to their utter dismay, they failed to allocate me! I am very sorry for them!

Fawad Bahi sb,

It is respect fully stated that your posts and the title of this thread have nothing in common. Being cynical is one thing and blatantly questioning the ability of individuals of an entire institution is another thing. I see a contradiction here brother, you were tirelessly advocating the case of SPSC against the allegations levelled by Mr.Ali Satar and here you are doing the exact opposit. Please i request you to leave this topic and all of us have got our posts deleted here. It does not mean we start all of this. I hope you will understand.

Bro, let me tell u that Mr. Ali Sattar had called our whole batch "Jalee"... it ws his version, I ws opinion that he should hv freedom 2 present his views, I never questioned his freedom to articulate what he said???? Howevr I may not agree to what he said....On the same yardstick, I hv also the same freedom 2 say in my defence.... I m not here to verify my past credentials.... I hd voiced my opinion....... if someone likes it, its fine, if doesnot... that is also fine.... no worry on that score....

there is no contradiction in my opinion.... I hv never said that selection by ISSB is not fair (unlike Mr. Sattar).. I concluded that ISSB Selection Panel looks for officers based on FSc/FA.... Though I did mention that ISSB Selection Panel looks for intellectual Talent.... I may b wrong in my opinion, but learned fellow like u may correct me... Learning never ends... So u may b my teacher.....

Let me recall that I wrote that I'v studied in Cadet College, and that my most of friends r serving in Army.... Bro, I like the institution, its discipline... But I'v all the right to question its performance.... People hv written books criticising Army, but they don't get thrashed like Moderators did in my case... Even in Interview of CSS, I questioned Army's performance.... I categorically told the Chairman that a retired civil servant is best suited for assessing future civil servants, not a Genearl... But he did not take my remark in negative.... He appreciated my views... People hv complaints the way we civil servants work, but we don't consider such remarks as defaming whole institution....

Bro, I will not concede toi your request to leave this post for yoiu... you can not single out me here... it wud b discrimination... I m here to learn n share... I request you to correct me... I hv no heart burn.... Delete my posts as long as you think, I hv crossed the rules....

As for question that The Title of this post is cynical, I wud say that what interpretation one can have out of this title.....


I will wait for a healthy response

I heard from some friends that those who are called for a re-interview in ISSB are sure (almost) to be recommended by the board, is that true?

I would also like to ask my fellows who have had the privilege to be interviewed by both of these prestigious boards i.e. ISSB and FPSC/CSS (as I have only faced the latter), how do they compare these panels and interviews? what are commonalities and distinguishing features?

Re-interviwed candidates are likely to be recommended by ISSB...but some(Re-interviewed) are declared not-recommended as well.

on the other side,Majority of candidates are recommended by ISSB without Re-interview...and this Majority belong to following institutions.

Cadet College Hasanabdal

Military College Jehlum

PAF Public School Sargodha.

Regds

are they really that well groomed for the job or it is some sort of discrimination or prejudice?

I think the names of these institutions say it all, that they are well groomed to be army officers. I do not see any prejudice, it is just that the candidates coming from these institutions are groomed under retd Army officers ( in most case, i hope so ) therefore they have a first hand knowledge of how to present one self in the interview session and the psychological. This my "Naqis Raii" anyone can disagree.


@F.S

well we have changed to title of the thread and i agree that we should've changed it before you noticed it. Anyways we seek further positive contributions from you in the future as well.
One thing more the posts were deleted not because we restrict individual's right to come out with his/her opinion regarding a particular thing but because certain members belonging from the Armed forces took strong expection to them and reported the posts again and again hence we were forced to delete them. All i meant was that we should focus our energies on learning here.

Regards
