CSS exam rules

Published November 30, 2011

APPEARING in CSS examinations is all about a game of nerves. But it is quite injustice to prepare a schedule for conducting CSS examinations where the game of nerves criteria is only applied to candidates who have opted for subjects like political science, history, sociology and journalism.

They have to appear consecutively in these papers right from compulsory subjects to their optional ones by concluding their examinations just in a week.

I appeal to the authorities concerned to apply the same criterion/rule to the other optional subjects like regional languages, psychology, philosophy, geography and natural science subjects because the CSS is also a game of points whereby one can be allocated a better group by just a difference of one or two points.
