Subsequently, the commission will commence the registration for the Special CSS Exam from 19 February to 5 March 2023, with 15 March as the deadline for sending hard copies of the online application and educational documents to FPSC’s head office in Islamabad.
As per the FPSC’s official notice, the written part of the Special CSS Exam will be conducted on 4 May 2023. It is pertinent to mention that candidates from certain regions or quotas are eligible for the upcoming exam, as shown in the table below:
