CM Sindh approves upper age relaxation for SPSC exams

KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Wednesday approved to extend upper age limit for all candidates appearing in the Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) combined competitive examination 2018 from 30 to 32 years.

The upper age limit for scheduled cast candidates has been increased from 31 to 33 years, while government servants interested to appear exams have been allowed upper age limit from 35 to 37 years.

CM Sindh had received an application requesting for relaxation of upper age limit to be eligible for the examination this year. However, the chief minister rejected the application saying he would not favour selected candidates.

Therefore, it was decided to relax the upper age limit for all so that every candidate can benefit.

It may be noted that the chief minister has already approved the general relaxation of upper age limit by 15 years for the posts to be filled in government departments during the period from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018.

However, this does not include the police service and posts to be filled through combined competitive examination by SPSC.
