KARACHI:
The K-P government’s decision, earlier this year, to increase the age limit for the PMS exam was celebrated by the youths who are currently struggling amidst the saturated job market. The federal government should also provide some much-needed respite by promulgating an age relaxation for the upcoming CSS Exam 2022. This will go a long way in alleviating the miseries of thousands of young Pakistanis who lost their jobs in the wake of the Covid-induced financial crisis. Instead of becoming hopeless, they will be encouraged to whet their academic skills for the said exam. Government employees are already afforded an age relaxation, so providing a general leniency for the 2022 attempt will prove to be not only a very popular but also a rational decision for the lawmakers. The incumbent government is dearly requested to heed to this entreaty.
