Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with some information about the books that are preferred for the
compulsory subjects in the CSS exam in Pakistan. 😊

The CSS exam is a competitive examination conducted by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC)
for recruitment to the posts in BS-17 in various occupational groups/services under the federal
government12. The exam consists of six compulsory subjects and four optional subjects, each carrying
100 marks3. The compulsory subjects are:

 Essay

 English (Precis and Composition)

 General Science and Ability

 Current Affairs

 Pakistan Affairs

 Islamic Studies or Comparative Study of Major Religions (for non-Muslim candidates)

There are many books that are recommended for the preparation of the compulsory subjects in the CSS
exam in Pakistan. However, it is important to note that these books are just a guide and it is necessary
to have a good command of the language, general knowledge, and analytical skills. Moreover, reading
different sources, newspapers, magazines, and articles, and practicing writing and solving questions are
also essential to excel in the exam. Here are some of the books that are preferred for the compulsory
subjects in the CSS exam in Pakistan:

by Francine D.Galko, Learning Express, and “How to Write Good Essays” by Lauren Starkey,
Learning Express4.

 For General Science and Ability: “General Science & Ability” by Muhammad Akram Kashmiri, FSc
Biology, Chemistry and Physics books, and “Encyclopedia of General Science” by Arihant
Experts45.

 For Current Affairs: “The High Scoring Guide for CSS Current Affairs” by Dogar Brothers, “World

 For Pakistan Affairs: “Making of Pakistan” by AK Aziz, “Pakistan Affairs” by Ikram Rabbani,
“Political and constitutional history of Pakistan” by Hamid Khan, and “Struggle for Pakistan” by

 For Islamic Studies or Comparative Study of Major Religions: “Islamic Studies” by Dr.
Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, “Islam: The Straight Path” by John L. Esposito, and “A History of
God” by Karen Armstrong45.

I hope this helps. 😊
