CSS Compulsory Subjects Preparation Course

Join Howfiv’s 3.5-month CSS Compulsory Subjects Preparation Course, and do not let these papers spoil your CSS result by learning how to prepare and score high in PA, CA, Ismaliyat and GSA.

Approximately 60,000 to 70,000 individuals aspire to prepare for and pass the CSS and PMS examinations annually. Among them, approximately 90% are not actively engaged in self-preparation for the exams. Instead, they prefer to seek tips and tricks from those who have successfully cleared the exams, believing they can succeed with these shortcuts. However, the outcome often differs from their expectations, resulting in the exhaustion of all three attempts and subsequent criticism of the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC). This highlights the crucial need for personal responsibility and initiative in self-preparation for these examinations.

On the other hand, a mere 10 per cent of candidates approach these examinations with unwavering dedication and invest significant effort in their preparation. They understand that success in these examinations cannot be achieved through shortcuts or reliance on others. They prioritize self-development and personal growth, abstaining from non-essential activities such as social media. Their approach to studying is comprehensive and unrestricted by fixed timeframes, with the sole aim of achieving high scores and entering their desired career path. These individuals are the epitome of students whom educators deeply appreciate teaching, as do coaches at Howfiv.

In the educational platform Howfiv, Sir Syed Kazim Ali and his coaches impose selective criteria for selecting students in the compulsory session. Only students capable of articulating and presenting arguments persuasively are granted admission. This selection process is rooted in the fundamental requirements of the CSS and PMS examinations, emphasizing the pivotal role of both knowledge and presentation. Failure to possess either skill invariably leads to unfavourable outcomes.

Consider an individual who possesses substantial knowledge but cannot effectively convey their understanding within the constrained timeframe of an examination. In such a scenario, they would face difficulty in addressing all questions comprehensively, ultimately leading to diminished scores or outright failure. Conversely, proficiency in the art of persuasion through writing would prove futile without the requisite knowledge of the subject matter, hindering one’s capacity to generate substantial content.

About CSS Compulsory Subjects Preparation Course

Simply, success in these examinations’ hinges upon the symbiotic relationship between knowledge and adept writing skills. Both are equally important and one cannot be successful without the other. So, at Howfiv, Sir Kazim and compulsory coaches grant admission to those students who have already learnt the writing skills. Usually, students in our compulsory session are from Sir Kazim’s extensive or crash course sessions. They reserve their seats 2 to 3 months before the compulsory session, understanding the importance of both knowledge and writing skills in their success.

Why is this Course Essential for CSS and PMS Aspirants?

This course is essential for CSS and PMS students and helps them prepare well in several ways:

• Focuses on Self-preparation
  Relying solely on tips and tricks isn’t enough, so this course encourages personal responsibility and initiative, which are crucial for passing these exams.
• Develops Both Knowledge and Presentation
  Since success requires substantial knowledge and the ability to present it effectively within exam constraints, this course ensures students can articulate arguments persuasively.
• Complements Existing Knowledge
  The compulsory session targets students who have already built a knowledge base through Sir Kazim’s other courses (extensive or crash courses). This ensures they refine their writing skills to effectively convey their knowledge during the exams.
