The resolution to add Urdu as an optional language to give CSS exam was unanimously passed in Senate.
Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 13th May, 2019) The candidates will now be able to take the exams for Central Superior Service (CSS) in urdu as well.
Senate has approved a resolution in this regard.
According to details, Senator Sirajul Haq had presented the resolution in the upper house on Monday, demanding that CSS exams be taken in Urdu.
The resolution stated that the exams for superior services should be taken in national language Urdu instead of English.
The government had opposed this resolution.
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan said that CSS has 45 optional and 6 compulsory subjects. The compulsory subjects are taught in English in universities.
He said that the candidates should have a choice to opt for the language.
