It has been learned that the FPSC has forwarded a proposal to the Prime Minister for the third time to extend the age limit for the CSS exam. Previously, the same government had declined the same proposal twice. A few months ago, the FPSC Chairman approached the president and enlightened him about the bad performance of the candidates belonging to smaller provinces due to low standard of education in those regions.
If the government is really sincere in alleviating the grievances and addressing the issues of the youth belonging to smaller provinces, then it is compulsory that it raises the age limit in the CSS exam up to 33 years because it takes a longer time for a candidate belonging to the middle class to compete with the candidates having sound educational background. Therefore, I request the PM Gillani to raise the CSS age limit up to 33 years and earn the honour of executing this long awaited move.
