CSS 2023 test paper sparks social media debate

There is no doubt that the CSS research is regarded as Pakistan’s best competitive exam. Thousands of students apply for this exam every year. It wouldn’t be wrong to call it an elite exam. The students who prepare for this test spend months and even years to perform best in the CSS exam, as those who manage to complete it are selected for bureaucratic positions in the federal government. Due to the preeminent and elitist nature of the exam, along with its importance to the running of the country’s civil service, it is not at all surprising that people have high expectations of the examining body and the questions asked in its tests. This year, however, the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) sparked a heated debate on social media on the very first day of the CSS2023 exam by asking students to write an essay about “boys will be boys”. The topic of one of the “boys will be boys” essays has divided the internet.
