Age is just a number

This refers to a burning issue for candidates who applied for the SPSC. The SPSC has announced the jobs opportunities for the youth in the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) as an ASI under Grade 9. But the age limit is  28 years.

However, the age limit for the CSS exam is 30 years for common applicants and 32years for government employee. All general jobs at the federal level are limited to 30 years of age while for government employees it is 35 years. But in CTD the ASI job’s age limit is 18 to 28 years. We request the IG Sindh Police to ensure that the age limit is increased to 30 years for general and 35 years for government employees, and a separate quota for police employees. This way eligible and downtrodden candidates, who could not acquire jobs on merit in these last eight years of corruption, will also be able to apply.
