what is passing criteria?

[QUOTE=fasadi bacha;663804]what is passing criteria?[/QUOTE]


[B]SPSC has not mentioned any passing criteria. It will be decide after conduction of the screening test, I guess![/B]:thinking

passing criteria to be decided by the committee after the test .

The legitimacy of this Screening test remains under shadow if one views it in the perspective of FPSC's case.

Federal commission made such announcement and it was reversed due to bypassing the legal protocols.

CSS-2014 was to be initiated with screening test but FPSC could not make it happen this year. They did not get it approved by the establishment division which later exercised its prerogative and forced the abortion.

SPSC revises the same instance. CM approval is overlooked with the process carrying serious legal undertones.

Comparing SPSC with FPSC is nothing but a joke. While seeing the fanfare with which spsc has advertised this screening test , I can only marvel at the naivety of this institute . It reminds me of the quote that " Fools rush in where angles fear to trade ".

please elaborate the [B][I][U]Note"The detailed syllabi of topics(Part 1-11-111) are same as for compulsory subjects"[/U][/I][/B]
Islamiat is not compulsory subjects in CCE.Hence i could not understand it.

Haha :-) I guess they forgot to edit the advertisement of FPSC regarding screening test :-) . However , syllabus of Islamiat is that of optional paper Islamiat .

It should have been before CCE-13's registration

And what about those who would fail, would they be paying Rs.1000, the actual fee for CCE-13, just for the screening test! I don't think its a wise decision at the 11th hour.

Disappointingly, I am starting to doubt that CCE-13 will be a merit based exam :unsure:

SPSC's transparency remains debatable, always. And we have strong reasons to doubt its honesty and fairplay based on its past performance. But, unfortunately, we can do nothing about it. :nono

Find the similarities :)

Im not here to discourage or demotivate the candidates of CCE-2013, but ive seen the rates of all the posts/seats. If you ask me the source, its from C.M house :-)

[B][B]SPSC management has taken this step to lessen their burden for Written Test since number of candidates is said to have crossed 30 thousand figure.

Qualifying this test may seem like a herculean task, infact its not.

Good luck![/B][/B]

Even then they want to conduct screening test :wacko:

Screening test preparation
 

Could any one tell me how shall i prepare means from which books?

Be optimistic dear friends.
Sreening test is in favour of unapprpachable and deserved candidates.

Now dear look at this

PCS will be held (exams) dec/Jan

CSS will be held in feb........

This is really difficult one for me to manage to the level of perfectiion for both of the exams. As there are different subjects, I have different subjects in CSS and PCS respectively....

@Haseeb
 

Haseeb, I have emailed you couple of times, I wanted to discuss something with you. Kindly reply me.

Ahsan dear, you are absolutely right, what kind of approach the commission has decided to adopt..! it's completely unwise to take screening test at this stage as the candidates have paid Rs1000 just for C.C.E. Therefore, it is not just with the poor candidates who pay blood for their educational expenses and preparing for the C.C.E. at night.:angry::angry:

Haseeb sir, what about negative marking in screening test and passing marks or marks ratio required to be nominated for C.C.E.2013?:con

Nobody knows its passing criteria. I think SPSC would set it after conducting the screening test :laughing

Test Venue!!
 

How is this possible that there is only one venue for screening test i.e. Hyderabad? How are they going to manage everything and how is it possible for candidates from other cities of Sindh to be there.

[B]That is why they are holding screening test in two days. This will divide number of the candidates in two parts. [/B]

Same thing they did in the screening test of ASI(Police), many schools will be the exam center for screening center for CCE13... I hope that now at this time they will manage their performance to the level of perfection while conducting test. Because, in ASI test, I saw many people were using mobile phones and even they were talking to each and other. As our invegilator was a school teach (I think), he did not say any thing to candidates, I was seeing the whole scenario that this is the credibility of the spsc's test conduction. Any how, I passed the screening test of ASI. But I expect that now spsc will conduct this coming test as per her cradibility. Otherwise, it would again be unfair to those who have been burning oil at mid nights for getting through in the tests...

Any how, I wish you all the friends very best of luck.

SPSC received about 23,400 applications for C.C.E and as we know that when number of applications crossed 15,000, even FPSC came with the option of screening test as they can't handle such number of applications. Hence, the decision of the SPSC is justified but they announced it a bit late that puts many applicants in trouble.

[QUOTE=Shaikhu;664194]

There are 99% chances for the negative marking in the screening test as we have witnessed negative marking in ASI screening test. The test for PCS will be like similar fashion but a bit tougher in terms of question level.
No one can tell the passing criteria at this stage, may be initially they set 50% as minimum criteria to pass the test and to be considered for next step. Even then final selection will be based on the number of candidates obtaining more than 50%. So, instead of thinking bout of cut-off score (which seems useless) aspirants should focus on studies as the passing criteria may fluctuate based on performance of the candidates. You should aim higher like to score 80% or even more than that.

[QUOTE=HASEEB ANSARI;664663][B]That is why they are holding screening test in two days. This will divide number of the candidates in two parts. [/B][/QUOTE]

If SPSC is going to conduct screening test in 2 days means the Q.Papers will surely be different, one paper may contain difficult Qs than the other, so we can't say it a fair chance to all applicants. So, here in screening test surely luck has to play key role. If they divide candidates in such a way that rural candidates are examined one day and urban on the other day then all the applicants in similar category will get the same paper. This division will make sense as the seats for rural and urban are clearly defined.

No offence bro, I don't agree. First, higher the number of applications, higher the application-fee-revenue, SPSC could finance more recourses to deal with such a high number of applications. Secondly, FPSC's announcement was timely and wise. Had FPCS's idea been materialized, it would have given sufficient time for its preparation plus, unlike SPSC's case, the failures would not have to bear the fees of CE-14 (Rs.2200).

[B]One paper on both days is impossible. Yes, to give candidates a fair chance, they can examine all the canidates at once. [/B]

23500 applications mean Rs.23,500,000/- :P
if screening test is that much necessary , SPSC should atleast hold it simultaneously at Hyd, Khi and Sukkur on the same date, giving fair chance to all the candidates. the two day test will result in a lot of concerns/objections. v vl hear ppl saying the test of date was difficult than the other one.

Totally agree dear, SPSC has earned much revenues. They must have arranged the screening test at Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and Larkana as they have mentioned in the exam forms. Test must be on single day otherwise spsc's transparency would be questioned.

This screening test is farce, most of the seats are already sold.

SPSC CCE is nothing like CSS so don't really expect anything. According to one of my uncles, it is common for people to use cellphones or ask each other for answers! Imagine someone having a smartphone with Google at their disposal. Invigilators are servile and don't bother to exert their authority.

I think it is unfair to candidates, forcing them all to convene in Hyderabad like this; especially those who would be coming from interior Sindh or Karachi

All in all this should turn out to be a fun a experience, I just hope there isn't any negative marking.

Dear,whatever you have said is the last thing that needs to be discussed here with the struggling youth.

I know many of my friends becoming lecturers,ASIs etc on sheer merit through SPSC exams and to clear your doubts i must tell you that they all are from very humble background who could not have paid hundreds of thousands to purchase a seat.Moreover,my elder brother's friends became ACs and SOs in last PCS,again on pure merit.

I personally have qualified screening test of ASI ALHAMDULILLAH without any "Sifarish" and i did not witness any such thing in the test that you mentioned.Thus,it is a humble request that we must encourage and motivate students to try harder instead of demoralizing their attitude.

It is only with conscientious knowledge of your demons that you can truly assail to victory. Merit is just the top 10 or at times even less than that. Unlike CSS where quota is promptly filled, CCE is a completely different ball game. Previous CCE was in 2008 I believe? times were better. Then again SPSC has always been rife with scandals.

It is a competition after all and competitions don't always have happy endings, may the best man win...
