CSS application forms in Balochistan
Candidates fail to submit CSS forms due to miscommunication
Quetta, Jan 03: Several candidates from Balochistan failed to submit their application forms for Central Superior
Services (CSS) examination due to lack of coordination between the Federal
Public Service Commission's (FPSC) provincial office and the National Bank of
Pakistan (NBP). Students said the FPSC had
declared January 1 as the last date for submitting forms for the exams, without
keeping in view that the day was a bank holiday. "The FPSC had requested
the NBP branches in other provinces to accept fees of the CSS candidates. Though
banks accepted fees in Punjab, NWFP and Sindh, NBP refused to follow suit in
Balochistan. Thus, a number of candidates could not submit their forms,"
Nasratullah, a student, said. He said many candidates had to wait for the
fist day of the month to receive salaries for depositing the fees. "Now
we feel cheated due to lack of coordination between the bank and the commission.
I appeal to the federal government to look into the matter so that the students
do not have to waste a year for taking the exams," the student
said. Officials of NBP and FPSC Balochistan were not available for
comment. Daily Times
