▫ 1100 marks is for written papers, while 300 is of interview.
• Again written exam consists of 500 marks compulsory
papers, and 600 marks optional papers.

21. Papers
• Compulsory Papers are:
▫ English Essay
▫ English Composition
▫ Current Affairs
▫ Pakistan Affairs
▫ Everyday Science and
▫ Islamiat
• Optional Papers:
▫ History
▫ Social sciences etc.

22. Things to Do
• If you have made up a mind, and still you are far
away from graduation, you can do following
things to start with:
 Improve your English by reading newspapers like Dawn and
magazines like readers digest.
 Sharpen your expression by writing English essays at least
once a month.
 Improve your general knowledge and grasp of current affairs
by reading newspapers and magazines and also occasionally
contributing “letter to Editor” in newspaper.
 Get hold of old papers of CSS.

23. Some Commonly held Myths
• Myth: For qualifying CSS, you have to be extremely intelligent.
▫ CSS is designed for an average mind. If you work hard you can excel in the exam.
• Myth: If your schooling is not from very hi-fi school, your chances
are minimal.
▫ Experience shows that many candidates from rural background being taught in
Govt. Schools, succeeded in CSS.
• Myth: If you don’t have a source, you cannot succeed.
▫ It is perhaps the most transparent and fair exam in the country up till now.
• Myth: If you are from Karachi, chances of selection are very low, as
you have to compete from 2% quota.
▫ No perhaps the most easy sailing is for candidates from Karachi. Quota of Sindh
(Urban) is 7% and is not being utilized fully for years, as the number of seats are
more than qualified candidates.
