ISLAMABAD, Nov 28: Only 276 of the 3,678 candidates who sat the competitive examination held by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) in August for recruitment to posts in BPS-17 could clear the written part of the examination, according to the result announced on Monday.

A notification of the FPSC said the pass percentage came to be just 7.5 per cent, the lowest in recent years reflecting the falling quality of education being imparted to students in the country's institutions.

Of the successful candidates, 224 were male and 52 female. They now have to go through medical, psychological and viva voce tests after which the final merit list would be determined.

The entire process of the CSS exam including viva voce is expected to be completed within six months. The final results would be announced by the end of February or first week of March 2006.

The CSS exam cycle previously consumed atleast one year. Under the reform of the CSS exam system special emphasis is being laid on reducing the time-frame of the exam cycle and is targeting to complete the process within six months.

The following are the roll numbers and names of the successful candidates:
