The success rate of the candidates, who took the Central Superior Services (CSS) examination 2023 stands at 2.96%, the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) on Saturday said – much better than the pass percentage of 1.85% in 2022. The FPSC released the results of the CSS exam 2023 that showed that the first 12 toppers opted for the Pakistan Administrative Service. According to FPSC, a total of 210 candidates have been declared successful in the CSS exam 2023 -- 126 male and 84 female. Giving details, the FPSC said 13,008 candidates had appeared in the written test, but only 401 could clear it. Following a comprehensive assessment process, 210 candidates received the recommendation for appointment, The first position was secured by Adil Riaz, second by Shaher Bano and third by Okasha Abrar Rana. A total of 46 candidates, who succeeded in the CSS exam 2024, were medically deferred. The top eight candidates belong to Punjab. The ninth position was clinched by Sohail Khan from Balochistan. Muhammad Abdullah from Azad Jammu and Kashmir bagged the 19 slot. A candidate from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Siffat Ullah, managed to secure the 25th position. Also read: Is the prestige of CSS fading? Sami Ahmed, who belongs to rural Sindh, made his way up to the 66th slot in the exam. Similarly, Zopash Agha from urban Sindh, managed to secure the 116th position. A candidate from the districts merged with K-P, also known as ex-FATA, Sohail Afridi, clinched the 80th slot in the exam. Lubna Hussain from Gilgit-Baltistan bagged the 130th spot on the list. In the South Asia region, Pakistan is the most backward nation in the field of education – especially its province Sindh. The CSS exam consists of twelve subjects -- six compulsory and six optional. It is important for candidates to handle these subjects with a proper strategy in order to perform well in the exam. During the preparation phase, it is observed quite often that candidates face a time shortage and are unable to assign equal weightage to each subject. Subsequently, they tend to perform inadequately in one of the subjects during the exam. The FPSC provides a systematic syllabus along with recommended books and readings for each subject. However, it is unfortunate that many CSS candidates rely on local publications available in the market instead of focusing on the recommended sources during their preparation. Eventually, this approach hampers their success because local publications often fail to help the candidates develop the analytical reasoning skills required by the examiners in the answer sheets.
