SPSC PMS Syllabus & MCQs

REVISED SYLLABUS FOR COMBINED COMPETITIVE
EXAMINATIONS OF SPSC

The existing Syllabus for the Combined Competitive Examinations of the
SPSC became old and out of sync over a period of many years that it
was being followed; hence there was an urgent need to revise it and
bring it at par with the present day requirements.

Keeping this objective in mind the SPSC initiated the process of syllabus
revision in February 2018. The exercise involved engaging with
stakeholders including the concerned Government of Sindh
departments for whom the recruitment is carried out; Academia from
all the leading Universities of Sindh; and other professionals. In this
regard a Consultative Workshop was also organized in April 2018 by the
SPSC at NIM Karachi where active participation was witnessed from all
the participants.

After passing through various scrutiny / approval stages the revised
syllabus has been finally agreed and approved by the competent
authority i.e. the Chief Minister of Sindh.

The SPSC expects that this revised syllabus will be quite helpful for the
intending candidates as it is now more relevant to the present day
requirements.
