General Tips and information about CSS Examination

1. Be careful in the selection of subjects from optional subjects. Select those subject which you have studied in your previous classes or those subject in which you have more interest or you have more command on them comparatively.
2. While filling the application form never write false things or exaggeration to influence Commission or officers or member of the staff of commission, if they come to know (even after your appointment) about any information given by you is wrong or false, you will be liable to dismissal from service. 
3. If you are not satisfied from your exam you took this year and want to take exam again next year, apply for exam by prescribed date without waiting for your result because result may take time and you may miss the date for submitting application for next year exam.
4. Date of Birth: The date of birth accepted by the Commission is that entered in the following documents:
