      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330457764/css-2025-results-pass-rate-drops-to-267-see-full-results-here</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has announced the results of the CSS Examination 2025, with only 355 candidates qualifying the written stage out of 12,792 applicants, reflecting a pass rate of 2.67%.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the commission, 170 candidates have been recommended for appointment, including 84 men and 86 women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As per the results, Aseed Rafiq secured first position, followed by Mohammad Mohsin Khalid in second place and Tariq Hafeez in third.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The top 30 candidates have been allocated to key service groups, including the Pakistan Administrative Service and the Police Service of Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Notably, no candidate was allocated to the Foreign Service of Pakistan this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In terms of regional representation, 23 of the top 30 candidates belong to Punjab, while Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have two candidates each.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Balochistan is represented by three candidates among the top performers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The CSS examination is considered one of the most competitive recruitment processes for Pakistan’s civil services, with consistently low success rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is the complete result:&lt;/p&gt;
