Candidates want age limit for PMS exam upped

PESHAWAR: The aspirants for the Provincial Management Services (PMS) examination from various districts have demanded an increase in the age limit of the candidates.

Some of the candidates including Syed Haris Ali Shah, Ilyas Afridi, Hamid Khan and others met provincial ministers Aftab Alam Afridi, Fazal Shakoor, MPA Abdul Moneem Khan and informed them of the problems being faced by them.

They said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission had not held the examination for the last four years for some reasons while other provinces were regularly holding the examination every year.

The candidates said other provinces, despite conducting the examination, had regularly increased the age limit.

They said that the upper age limit should be increased to 35 years to accommodate more youth from the province and demanded a date announced for the Provincial Management Services examination forthwith.
