Video Description

This video offers constructive criticism of the CSS (Central Superior Services) exam and Pakistan's bureaucratic system, highlighting how social media and society have exaggerated the exam's prestige. It argues that CSS is often seen on social media as a supreme marker of knowledge and status, but in reality, it is primarily an exam and a means to gain power within the bureaucratic structure. The bureaucratic system itself is criticized for fostering elitism, a superiority complex among successful candidates, and detachment from the public they are supposed to serve. The video points out that public perception and social media hype have elevated CSS and bureaucracy to an unrealistic pedestal, masking systemic issues such as corruption, inefficiency, and exploitation within the institution. Moreover, the societal influence of social media amplifies this myth, creating an environment where success in CSS is conflated with ultimate intellectual and social accomplishment, overshadowing the broader realities of the bureaucratic function in Pakistan. #CSS #Students #exams Timecodes 0:00 - Intro 03:04 - Motivation and reason behind CSS 06:40 - Value of a Common Pakistani 09:03 - CSS and public service? 12:04 - Life of bureaucrat in social media age 14:00 - Impersonal authority in goverments 18:26 - How British brought civil service? 21:28 - History of CSS in Pakistan 23:10 - Can one person challenge the system? 25:05 - Viva system and mock interviews 27:40 - CSS exam and Intellectual level 30:00 - Mental Health of a Bureacrat in Pakistan
