The much-awaited CSS 2025 final result has finally been announced by the Federal Public Service Commission, bringing clarity for thousands of aspirants across Pakistan. Every year, this result not only determines careers but also reflects the intense competition within the country’s civil service system.

This year’s outcome once again highlights how demanding and selective the CSS examination has become.

CSS 2025 Result Overview

According to official figures, a total of 12,792 candidates appeared in the written examination. Out of these, only 355 candidates successfully passed, resulting in a strikingly low pass percentage of approximately 2.67%.
