Well, I believe it was not a blunder in any case. I am a professional writer and I have developed around 5000 articles in past three years. As per experience, it was a perfect test. They wanted you to accumulate your thoughts and deliver in just 300 words, which I think was quite possible as per the instructions they provided. Secondly, they asked you to write in paragraph rather than an essay or article. May be they wanted to check if you follow the instructions or not (just my guess) as many out there were doing it in different paragraphs and even in bullet points

Anyway, lets hope for the best and may Allah succeed each and every one who deserves it

your first paragraph, i totally agree. when they asked for PARA then it should have been PARA not paras... and about your second point, I don't agree bro.. If you believe that 800 words were enough, then again, can you write each and everything in 800 words? I believe you can never be able to do so. Its all about following the instructions and do your best under the circumstances given to you. That's my idea. You have every right to differ to it

I think the test was good as outline was given and the candidates were asked to write minimum one paragraph on each topic. Now it was up to the candidate to manage his/her time. I think the minimum limit was given by NTS due to time of paper. So i think it is not a big issue that if some one write in more than a paragraph so he is she will not get marks for that.It was up to candidate that in how much words or paras he is she can convey idea about the topic.

any idea about result? Thanks.

Personally i am not an expert of Essay or Paras,but let me give you all my opinions about the questions being asked in the MOD paper.
First,no one knows exactly the style and pattern of the answers asked to present in the Mod paper,so criticizing or appreciating any style is pointless.
second those who are good enough to squeeze the required things to one para in such a short time with clarity,cohesion,relevancy and continuity would definitely have advantage.But those who are not good in squeezing all the asked things to one para and have explained the required stuffs in multiple paras would not be punished,as the aim should be to give clear and coherent ideas rather than giving vague and blurred ideas...Examiner also checks how organised one is in his thoughts.Hence those who have conveyed their ideas clearly and completely in comparison to the outlines given in the question,regardless of the fact that it was in one para or multiple paras have high chances to qualify to the next round.

I think it was written that write in one paragraph of 300 words... not at least one paragraph

It was written that write a paragraph of 300 words and the topic were given and outline of that topic to flow with that and insert your ideas. NTS calculated their required time for attempting the papers so now it was upto candidates that in how much time and in how much words they explain the topic and if they can complete all the topics in the required time or not.

I guess,more than 2 months NTS will take in announcing the result.

Dear aspirants! I have not seen such rules in english grammar where shows a paragraph of 300 words. As a rule a paragraph carries only one idea and not multiple ideas. For the purpose you may consult Saddat English Grammar book in which paragraph rules have been clearly laid down.
Furthermore have you ever seen a paragraph containing 300 words.
Let suppose you people are examiners and there are two students/candidates who have attempted the same question. One candidate has focused only on production of mere empty words while the second one has stuffed his answer with relevant facts and figures let he has also crossed his words limits. Now let me know which answer you give more credit?
The answer is that who has struggled more God will help him and will get success.
