ONCE again a vicious propaganda has been launched against the results of the rescheduled Combined Competitive Examinations 2017 administered by the Sindh Public Service Commission.

My two cents on this controversy are: those candidates who have failed in various subjects by a narrow margin should realise that due to the large number of candidates applying for a limited number of seats, the examiners had to employ really stringent methods to select the most appropriate candidates.

Therefore, it is futile to cry foul each time one fails. There are lots of avenues for the talented youth of this beautiful province to find jobs. But to challenge the whole process again and again is simply redundant.

Please also refrain from exhibiting the sublime symptoms of schadenfreude— the experience of pleasure or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles or failures of someone else. A little introspection would help you find your own niche.
