Tests on same date

Published December 17, 2015

IT is frustrating that NTS and the Federal Public Service Commission have arranged screening tests for their advertised jobs on the same day, i.e Dec 20.

Many candidates who have applied for jobs in both have to opt only for one test while skipping the other. Many aspirants burn their midnight oil and study with an aim to join civil services of the country. It will be injustice to them to deprive them of any opportunity.

There needs to a coordination between the two recruiting organisations and they should avoid holding screening tests on the same day. The NTS and FPSC are requested to reschedule their tests on Sunday, Dec 20, so that all candidates can attempt both the tests.
