S, leave a valid email address with your comment (email will stay hidden)

The summary of services available with Silence at the moment are:

  • Weekly advice column published every Sunday

  • Dedicated online Sessions via Google Chat and Skype.
  • Face to face individual and group coaching sessions (available in Karachi only)

The details of the Services are given below:

In Pakistan, clearing the entry examination for Central Superior Service (CSS) is like a dream. It is reported that every year thousands of candidates use to fill the examination forms but success rate is as low as 5%; to me, the main reason behind this low rate of success is lack of guidance available with the CSS aspirants.

When I started my preparation for the exam, I tried to meet as many CSS qualifiers as I can and they use to point it out to me that secret of their success was proper guidance and with this guidance they happened to utilize their abilities to fullest and sailed smoothly. Having realized the importance of advice from qualifiers, I followed it and I was able to get through it too. Now with my experience, I think that passing CSS is a bit difficult but things can turn really very easy with an experienced and qualified hand that can offer you help.

Readers of Silence are quite aware of the fact that this scribe use to provide help regarding CSS examination to all the aspirants who use to write to him in comment section of this blog, other satellite blogs and forums joined. In most of the cases, such queries use to get responded in less then 24 hours. Keeping in view the feedback received from readers for quite sometime, Silence has decided to take one more step forward for providing advice and support to all those who want to move ahead and pass CSS.

Having told you that Silence is taking a step forward in provision of service to CSS aspirants, let’s get to know it in detail:

  1. Since CSS aspirants are in need of individual attention so Silence will host a free advice column every week that will get published every Sunday at drfarrukhmalik.com/blog and other satellite blogs. Those who want to get advice can post their questions on the CSS advisory page whose link can be seen in upper right corner of this blog in navigation bar with header. Apart from this, those who want to email can send in their questions at css [dot] coaching [at] gmail [dot]com (css.coaching@gmail.com).

  2. For those who want to ask the questions on phone, Silence is starting a free help line service* that will stay operational every evening except on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 PM to 11:30 PM, Phone no. +92-300-310-4224 **

  3. For those who want to get individual guidance through dedicated online sessions can get it for free* through Google chat every evening from 10:00 PM to 10:30 PM. The appointment for such sessions will be served on first come first serve basis. For getting appointment, email at css [dot] coaching [at] gmail [dot]com(css.coaching@gmail.com).

  4. Free sessions* through VOIP service can be made available via Skype on special request. The Skype ID is css [dot] coaching (css.coaching)

  5. For the aspirants in Karachi, interactive face to face coaching sessions on individual and group basis will be available but keeping in view the cost related to it, this service will stay as paid service.

    Sir ! I have done my MBA & MA Political Science and am trying to appear in CSS following year. i have been trying to find out some one who could advise me regarding my studies as well as my optional choices. Luckily i have found you through one of my dearest friends help. i hope that you would advise me and would not let me astray.
    One of the most important problem that i am facing these days is the limitation of time as i have started my studies only a few days ago, so obviously shortage of time is making my moments hectic. secondly i want to share with you my optional subjects which are; Political Science (200), Constitutionla Law (100), Indo-Pak HIstory (200) and Pashtu (100). Though i have studied political science at masters level but still i am not feeling comfortable with the portion of Philosophy. Moreover do let me know that how should i make a good preparation for ESSAY. Many people have advised me writing from my own self on different topics but finally i counter the restriction of knowledge. kindly help me out. i will be extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemly thankful to you.
    My email is ……….

    I am an MBA student & wishing to appear in CSS examination within two years, after completing my MBA degree .I want to join “Foreign Service Group”. I need some information,

    1. How many seats are vacated for this group annually?
    2. How many marks are generally required in final examination & interview to qualify for this group?
    3. Which subjects are more favourable for scoring high marks, either “Science” or “Social Science”. Although I have studied Physics & Mathematics in B.Sc but I am interested in History, Political Science & International Relations. Will these subjects be supportive to score high marks? or a mix combination of both is better?

    Thank you for cooperation & guidance!

    ASSALAM ALAIKUM

    Dr. Sahab I need help for SPSC and MUKHTIARKAR

    Q-1 This exam like CSS held every year?

    Q-2 no authentic guides available? only dogar guides available in market?

    Q-3 From where i can find past papers?

    Q-4 How select optionals (leave interest) This question is for both CSS and SPS

    I have some confusion that some subjects like maths and statistics consider to be marks gaining subjects and subjects like history or physiology are not at that level we can score marks.thanks
