The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has announced a major change in the CSS Competitive Examination. The new rule will be applied to compulsory papers in the CSS exam from 2026.
According to the new decision by FPSC, there will be only one compulsory paper per day. However, in the past, there was a policy of conducting two papers in a single day.
This step has been initiated to facilitate students and ensure a smooth process of conducting the exam. According to the new policy of one paper in a single day will help students to prepare for their exams in a better way. It is important to mention here that two papers in a single was stressful and could affect the students’ performance negatively.
According to the FPSC, the notification of the new policy will be shared online after a few days.
