Sir: The Federal Public Service Commission conducts CSS examinations every year. Candidates from different parts of the country appear in these examinations in thousands. As the nature of the course goes, hard work and incessant diligence is required to get through them. Of the thousands who appear, only a few hundred candidates manage to qualify the written and the interview part. On the announcement of the result though, a huge number of candidates, even after having passed both written and interview parts, unluckily fail to get any post due to the shortage of available seats. These unallocated candidates are left to suffer in frustration. For instance, in the CSS 2010, 638 candidates qualified but only 230 made it to civil service posts, and the rest remained unemployed. By adopting a rational and prudent approach, the talent of these unallocated talented people can be utilised for the progress of the country. For instance, they can be employed as section officers in different ministries or can be made assistant directors in institutions like the Intelligence Bureau and the National Accountability Bureau. After qualifying one of the toughest competitive examinations of the country, they are suitable for such posts. Candidates for these posts are also selected by the FPSC; therefore, there is no harm in selecting a CSS-qualified candidate, instead of conducting a fresh examination. If government and the FPSC pay heed to this suggestion, it would bring unemployment down and halt the waste of talented candidates. This will also lead to addressing the deplorable situation of different government institutions. By inducting qualified candidates, the governance crisis could be addressed effectively.
