AS announced by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC), the closing date for online registration for Central Superior Services (CSS) examinations 2021 was Nov 3. However, the students of Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, were unable to apply as their results have been delayed. The administrative issues of the university are affecting the future of many CSS candidates.

Many students are already under immense pressure due the coronavirus pandemic and a CSS career was a hope that was sustaining them. The university has been sealed after five Covid-19 cases were reported on Oct 26, which might delay the results further.

I urge the FPSC to extend the date of registration for CSS examinations so the students may not have to pay the price of their university’s negligence.
