Ministry of Planning Development and Reforms of Pakistan (MoPDR) has suggested that MPhil should be set as the minimum qualification for Central Superior Services (CSS) and Public Services Commission (PCS) examinations so as to help evaluate and recruit experts from different fields of education.

Increasing the qualification for these examinations mean that they want experts from every department to participate in these exams and this decision will be helpful in evaluating the “cream” from each department and would increase competitiveness in the exams and this in turn will increase efficiency in government institutes, it has been proposed.

The ministry also suggested that the minimum age to participate in these examinations will be made 30 and no one less then age of 30 years will be able to take part in the exams, while the age of retirement will be 60 for all CSS and PCS officials.

Both these changes are supposed to bring experienced and more competitive players into government offices, the minister contended.

In this regard, suggestions have been sought from high civil administration from across the country, which would be presented before Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Reforms Ahsan Iqbal in National Consultative Workshop on ‘Civil Service Reforms’ to be held on September 14 to 15 in Bhurban, Murree.

The suggestions will also be sent to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for approval very soon.
