The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has officially published the highly anticipated CE-2026 Viva Voce schedules for candidates who successfully qualified through the written examinations and psychological assessments. This crucial announcement brings immense excitement and focus for aspirants nationwide as they enter the final, career-defining lap of the Central Superior Services (CSS) competitive examination process.
With dates, phases, and exam centers now locked in across major cities including Islamabad, Lahore, and Quetta, candidates must urgently review their specific timelines to ensure meticulous preparation.
The Federal Public Service Commission has distributed the interview process across multiple phases to manage candidate flow efficiently. The primary allocation of schedules features distinct phases for major examination hubs:
Islamabad Center: Divided into multiple segments, the Islamabad evaluations will occur across Viva Voce Schedule - Islamabad-Phase-I.pdf, Phase-II, and Phase-III. Sessions are hosted directly at the FPSC Headquarters located on Aga Khan Road, F-5/1, Islamabad.
Lahore Center: Phase-I details are officially live via Viva Voce Schedule - Lahore-Phase-I.pdf. Interviews for Lahore candidates take place at the FPSC Provincial Office situated at 31-Civic Centre, Mustafa Town, Wahdat Road, Lahore.
Quetta Center: Aspirants assigned to Balochistan's provincial capital can access their specific dates through Viva Voce Schedule - Quetta.pdf.
Candidates must download their specific phase PDFs directly from the official FPSC portal to cross-verify their roll numbers, assigned reporting dates, and specific time slots. Regular tracking is vital as subsequent phases roll out.
Appearing before the FPSC Viva Board requires more than just academic mastery; it demands composure, structured articulation, and strict adherence to administrative instructions. To safeguard your candidature, keep the following mandate in mind:
Strict No-Change Policy: The FPSC has explicitly stated that center changes or date swaps are strictly prohibited under any circumstances. Because slots and board calendars are tightly packed, wastage of efforts or schedule adjustments cannot be accommodated.
Mandatory Documentation: Qualifiers must bring all required documents, including five duly signed copies of their service preference form. The commission stresses that this acts as the final and absolute opportunity to choose occupational group options, meaning choices must be weighed carefully.
Compliance with Official Guidelines: Every candidate must thoroughly review the official document titled "Guidance to Candidates for appearing before Viva Board.pdf". This resource offers deep insight into panel expectations, urging participants to remain authentic rather than attempting to construct a fake persona during the interview.
