The Central Superior Service (CSS) Exam in Pakistan is considered the benchmark of excellence. However, the Sher family sisters proved that intelligence runs in the family, with all 5 sisters clearing their CSS exams, with the fifth sister clearing the CSS 2019 exams just recently.
CSS exams are extremely competitive and difficult. Only a portion of the candidates get through and only a handful ace the exam. CSS 2019 was no different and now the results are out. The wait was gnawing away at many but the outcome was worth it for some.
The Sher family sisters made history as their fifth and final sister cleared the exam on June 17, 2020. Zoha passed her written examination in November 2019. Then after clearing the final interview, she has been officially designated in the Office Management Group (OMG).

Shireen Malik, the second sister is Head of Section in the Cabinet Division. Dr. Sassi Malik Sher joined the MLCG group and Marvi is posted in the PMS group.

These siblings set out to help the world and they didn’t stop at CSS. Dr. Sassi Malik Sher made headlines with her advocacy for girls to ‘read their nikah-nama’. Their father couldn’t be more proud. In an interview with BBC Urdu he said:
“When my daughters were born people console me rather than congratulating me. But I always knew that they will make me proud more than any son.”
