In a significant development that could reshape the future of Pakistan’s civil services, the National Assembly has officially passed a resolution calling for major reforms in the Central Superior Services (CSS) examination criteria.
✅ Key Highlights of the Resolution:
- The upper age limit for CSS applicants will now be extended to 35 years, effective from the CSS 2026 exam onward.
- Candidates will be allowed up to 5 attempts at the CSS examination—an increase from the current limit.
- The resolution has been adopted and signed by National Assembly members, signalling strong parliamentary backing.
This move is seen as a response to the growing demand from students and civil service aspirants across Pakistan, who have long argued that the current age and attempt limits are too restrictive—especially for those from remote or underserved regions.
A Victory for Aspirants Nationwide
The resolution emphasizes the need for equal opportunities in civil service recruitment and acknowledges the diverse socio-economic challenges faced by candidates. If implemented, these reforms will offer greater flexibility and access to thousands of young professionals seeking to serve the nation.
What Happens Next?
While the resolution has been adopted, it now awaits formal implementation by the Establishment Division and Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC). If enacted into policy, it will apply to CSS 2026 and beyond.
