THE Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) conducted a screening test for CCE 2019 on Dec 9. There were a total of 100 questions in an objective-type paper. The passing marks were 50 per cent, including negative marking with the deduction of 0.25 for each wrong answer.

But the paper was different from the given syllabus. There were hardly one or two questions from Pakistan affairs. Additionally, there were numerous mistakes in the paper.

The arithmetic section was not reliable. I am astonished how the SPSC makes such mistakes at this level. The SPSC should follow the policies of federal and other provincial public service commissions.
