All the best to the aspirants of CE-2014

So, now the FPSC wants the candidates to go through their books, notes and relevant materials three times for three years.

1. Screening out test in September of first year
2. Written Exam in Feb of second year
3. Interview in Jan - May of third year.

They should have managed it in a better way. Learn something from India, at least.

relax guys,this test does not mean that very limited number of candidate will be called for written examination.i think fpsc will probably select 10 thousand candidate for written part.in order to become a csp,one must be capable to fall in 10 thousand candidates

This is test for eligibility to make the Recruitment process fast. Now on 15 august 2014 the persons will be allocated.

for example if we will take our written exam in feb 2014 then in the end of april 2014 the written result will be announced and on 15 august 2014 the allocated candidates list will be displayed ....... total span from written to allocation will be one year...................

This was expected. FPSC also sent the proposal to DMG campus for feedback of probationers. But I think FPSC should have employed this method from CSS 2015 onwards.

This method is also used in india for recruitment to IAS. They call this screening test, the preliminary exam.
