CSS exam in Pakistan application process

Candidates, who fall into the eligibility requirements stated above, can apply for the CSS 2012 examinations. CSS exam 2012 applications will be invited all over Pakistan in the month of November or December every year. Federal Public Service Commission of Pakistan (FPSC) has already set the date of the examination for Saturday, February 25, 2012.

Government employees who fulfill the requirement laid down for appearing in CSS exams 2012 are eligible to appear in exams if permitted by the competent authority in their departments or offices. No Government employee shall be competent to apply without the prior permission in writing from his/her department/office as the case may be, and such permissions must accompany the application. Candidates who join Government service after submitting their applications for admission to the examination should also submit the Departmental permission immediately thereafter.

A candidate, who after submitting such Departmental permission, joins Civil Service Academy or is transferred to another Department, should also obtain the permission of that Department and submit the same to the Commission as soon as possible.

A candidate who has left Government service should submit with his/her application the original as well as a copy of his/her discharge/service certificate.

A candidate who has been dismissed from Government or semi Government Service will not be eligible for admission to the examination. If a great number of candidates apply for the CSS 2012 so the decision of the authority would be final about the limitation of the candidates to appear in the CSS exams 2012.

If the Federal Public Service Commission of Pakistan (FPSC) imposed a limit and the number of applied candidates exceeds that limit, the commission will select from applicants. This selection will be based on the accurate representation of provinces/areas of Pakistan as well as the various age concessions.
