KARACHI:
The Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) has undeniably played a pivotal role in providing numerous opportunities across various fields, exemplified by its swift announcements for positions such as subject specialists and medical officers. However, a disconcerting paradox has emerged, revealing a sluggish approach when it comes to conducting and announcing the results of the Combined Competitive Exams (CCE). The shadows of uncertainty loom large over the fate of candidates who participated in the CCE-2020 and CCE-2021 as the written results remain pending.
This delay not only raises questions about the efficiency of SPSC but also inflicts significant distress upon candidates eagerly awaiting the outcomes of their hard work and dedication. Adding insult to injury, SPSC has recently unfurled plans for CCE-2023 while neglecting to resolve the outstanding issues of CCE-2022. The consequences of this negligence are dire, as the promising youth of the province face setbacks in their career trajectories. The prevailing silence in this matter is deafening, leaving the talented youth of Sindh suppressed and their aspirations stifled.
The timely announcement of exam results is not merely a procedural formality; it is a cornerstone in the lives of aspiring civil servants who represent the future leaders of our province. Sindh’s youth deserve a fair chance to pursue their dreams, unencumbered by bureaucratic delays and oversights. We hope that the concerned authorities take swift and decisive action to rectify the current predicament. The province’s future hinges on nurturing and empowering its youth. Addressing issues within SPSC is a crucial step in that direction.
