ICEP CSS Institute prepares PMS Sindh aspirants for the Combined Competitive Examination conducted by the Sindh Public Service Commission. Faculty shared with the institute’s CSS programs, including Dr. Asim Akhtar for Islamic Studies and Dr. Waqas Younus for General Science and Ability, teach the compulsory subjects both exams overlap on. Preparation covers SPSC’s six compulsory papers and guidance on the optional subject groups, at the New Garden Town campus in Lahore and online for Sindh-domicile aspirants studying outside the province.

Why ICEP

A PMS Sindh aspirant studying from Lahore still needs the same subject depth as a Karachi-based candidate, along with clarity on where the exam departs from CSS, particularly the Sindhi or Urdu compulsory paper and the combined Current and Pakistan Affairs structure. ICEP’s faculty teach these compulsory subjects with the same credential-backed depth applied across its CSS programs, rather than treating PMS Sindh as an afterthought.
