ACCORDING to the NTS schedule, pasted outside and inside the examination centre, all skill tests were scheduled to be conducted on Aug 28 in the afternoon after every 20 minutes for the post of stenographer (BPS-15) on behalf of all the above three DSCs of Karachi..

There were 180 candidates against the advertised vacancies including Wapda. There were only three members of the staff who appeared to have no experience, though they were helpful and behaved politely.

Owing to their mismanagement 20 minutes turned into three hours. The tests could not be conducted for all DSCs.

I would like to ask all the DSCs, NTS and the Sindh High Court — all mentioned in the advertisement — that all candidates be given an equal opportunity and their DSCs skill test be conducted properly.
