Resolution in Punjab PA to end entrance tests
Lahore: A Resolution on Monday was submitted in the Punjab
Assembly Secretariat on behalf of MPA Zobia Rubab Malik in which she has
demanded the exemption for the position holder students from entry test for
higher studies. The resolution demands that brilliant students who secured top
positions in exams should not be required to take entry tests as the process was
an insult to the top position holders. In her resolution, Zobia said these entry
tests hanged like a sword on the heads of the brilliant students and instead of
rejoicing the positions they secured in exams, they face the hurdle of entry
tests. She demanded that these entry tests should be abolished without any
delay. The Punjab Assembly Speaker has accepted the resolution which will be
bought up before the next session of the assembly. The News

2007 CSS candidates' training to start in 2009
Lahore: The candidates who passed the
Central Superior Services (CSS) examination of 2007 are expected to start
training at the Civil Services Academy (CSA) in February 2009, after a wait of
23 months – the longest break between the CSS exams and the training in the
history of the country's civil services, CSA sources said on
Monday.
According to government records, the Federal Public Service
Commission (FPSC) on April 23, 2008, issued the final assignation list of those
who had passed the CSS exams held in March 2007. In the list, 189 candidates had
been appointed to various departments and their batch (36th Common) was to train
at the CSA.
OMG training: CSA sources said that the training of 35th
Common would end in October after which the 36th Common was expected to start
training in November. However, they said that after the training of the 35th
Common, the CSA would conduct a three-month course for a group of officials of
the Office Management Group (OMG) from November 4. The 36th Common would start
their training after the OMG training had been completed.
They said that
the previous record of the longest delay was of 20 months, before the training
of 32nd Common. The written exam was held in December 2001, the allocations were
announced in September 2002 and the training started on August 23,
2003.
The candidates of 36th Common had been perturbed by the prolonged
delay. They have urged the government to start their training in
November.
No job: Some members of the group said that the
authorities had yet to notify them about the schedule of their training. They
said that they were facing financial problems because they had been required to
quit their jobs before they confirmed their availability for the training
programme. One of them said that after being dejected he had applied for a job
at a cellular company, but was offered a low-profile job that did not pay
well.
The government starts to pay CSA trainees two months after their
training starts. The candidates said that the CSA should exclusively train CSS
candidates. They said that they felt insecure because of the current political
instability in the country and because they had not yet received any letter of
confirmation from the government.
A CSA official said that
the rules did not make it mandatory to announce the schedule of CSS training
after the announcement of the candidates' allocation. Daily Times
