ISLAMABAD: The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has shared the details of posts for the CSS Exam 2024. This is important news for candidates preparing for the Central Superior Services (CSS) exam.
According to the FPSC press release, a total of 364 posts are available in different federal departments and offices. This includes 247 new posts and 117 posts left vacant from previous years.
Under the quota system, 214 posts are for open merit, 32 for women, and 118 for minorities.
The seats for different regions are: Punjab 179, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 48, Balochistan 31, Sindh (Rural) 32, Sindh (Urban) 29, Former FATA 15, Azad Kashmir 8, and Gilgit-Baltistan 4.
After the CSS 2024 results, qualified candidates will be assigned to different groups according to their merit.
Earlier in May 2025, the National Assembly passed a resolution to increase the maximum age limit for CSS candidates from 30 to 35 years, with the new rule starting from 2026. The resolution, introduced by PML‑N MNA Syeda Nosheen Iftikhar, was passed without opposition.

The resolution also allows candidates to make a total of five attempts at the CSS exam. Lawmakers asked the government to implement these changes quickly, so applicants have enough time to prepare under the new rules.
By raising the age limit and giving extra attempts, the new measures aim to make the CSS exam more accessible for candidates who need more time to prepare or join the workforce before applying.
