There is an age limit of 32 for PMS. Unfortunately, you will not be appearing in PMS examinations.
Age limit is 32 or 30? Plz confrm me thanku
There is a solution that you shoul be a regular government servant within 3 yearst sothat your age limit will ecxeed to 35 years and perhaps you might be able to attend PMS at 33
You would not be able to give pms. The reason is your age is high. It needs minimum of age 30.
If you want to go for pms then stop Bs program and give exams of ADP combine.By this you can get graduation digree in one year and you will appear in pms exam
Plz tell me which month is exam and the stating possess plz I am new I don’t understand in PMS process
Dear exam for PMS is commencing soon. The exact date will be published by PPSC.
Will I qualify for the interview if I fail in one or two compulsory subjects but got 600 marks in total out of 1200 marks?
No, you cannot. You have to pass all the subjects and must obtain 600 marks in aggregate.
Can anyone help me to choose optional subject in geography or mass communication?? Which one is help me to get highest score?? And which study is easily understandable???

Mass communication is better choice in these two subjects
