CSS Exam Age Limit Extended to 35 with More Attempts
The new age limit and increased number of attempts will provide more opportunities for candidates to join Pakistan's elite civil services, and is expected to have a positive impact on the country's bureaucracy, with the changes set to come into effect soon.
The National Assembly has passed a resolution to increase the age limit for the Central Superior Services (CSS) exam from 30 to 35 years, and the number of attempts from three to five, allowing more candidates to join Pakistan's elite civil services.
The resolution, moved by MNA Syada Nosheen Iftikhar, aims to provide more opportunities for candidates to appear in the highly competitive CSS exam, which requires a bachelor's degree and rigorous preparation in various subjects. The current age limit of 30 years and maximum of three attempts have been a limitation for many candidates, and the new resolution is expected to benefit a larger number of aspirants.
The CSS exam is a prestigious test that allows candidates to join Pakistan's elite civil services, and the new resolution is seen as a positive step towards increasing the pool of talented candidates. The resolution was passed with a majority vote in the lower house of Parliament, coinciding with the recent announcement of the CSS 2024 written exam results.
The extension of the age limit and increase in the number of attempts is expected to have a positive impact on the country's civil services, allowing more talented and experienced candidates to join the ranks. The move is seen as a welcome change, and many aspirants are expected to benefit from the new resolution.
