The announcement, made public today, outlines a structured interview program set to commence next week across two major cities, marking the final critical phase in the selection of Sindh’s future executive leadership.

Official Notification and Schedule Details

According to the official notification bearing number PSC/EXAM(S.S)/2025/1465 , the interviews will be conducted by separate committees in Karachi and Hyderabad. The schedule is designed to efficiently assess the qualified candidates over several days.

The interview process will kick off in Karachi on Monday, December 15, 2025 , at 10:00 A.M., where the first committee will interview 20 candidates.

A Crucial Final Hurdle in a Prestigious Examination

The Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) for the Executive Cadre is one of the most prestigious and competitive recruitment processes in Sindh, aimed at selecting capable individuals for key administrative positions within the provincial government. The examination tests candidates on a wide range of subjects, assessing their knowledge, analytical abilities, and suitability for public service roles.

The release of this interview schedule follows the earlier press release (Adv No. 09/2023, No.PSC/EXAM(S.S)/2025/463) that declared the results of the written examination. Candidates who have made it to this stage have already demonstrated significant academic and intellectual prowess, and the interview will serve as a vital assessment of their personality, communication skills, critical thinking, and overall temperament for executive responsibilities.

Strategic Venue Selection: Karachi and Hyderabad

The SPSC’s decision to hold interviews in both Karachi , the provincial capital and economic hub, and Hyderabad , a major cultural and historical center, ensures accessibility for candidates from across Sindh. This bifurcated approach likely aims to facilitate candidates from different regions, reducing travel burdens and ensuring a smooth administrative process.

Candidates are advised to meticulously note their assigned date, day, time, and venue as per the official notification. Punctuality and preparation are paramount, as these interviews represent the final evaluative step before the ultimate merit list is compiled.

What Candidates Can Expect and How to Prepare

While the SPSC notification provides the logistical framework, candidates should prepare for a comprehensive interview. Typically, panels assess a candidate's depth of understanding of their academic subjects, current affairs, the socio-economic landscape of Sindh and Pakistan, governance issues, ethical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities.

Experts recommend that candidates:

• Thoroughly review their application and written examination subjects.

• Stay updated on major national and provincial current events.

• Prepare to articulate their motivation for a career in public service.

• Practice clear, concise, and confident communication.

Transparency and Future Announcements

The SPSC has included a note in its notification stating, “The remaining interview schedule will be announced in due course of time.” This indicates that the currently released dates may only cover the initial batches of candidates, and further schedules for subsequent candidates are expected to be announced later. This phased announcement allows the commission to manage the process effectively while keeping all stakeholders informed.

Significance for Sindh's Governance

The CCE-2023 (Executive Cadre) is more than just an employment test; it is a pipeline for future civil service leaders who will play instrumental roles in policy implementation, administration, and public welfare across Sindh. The transparency and structure of this interview schedule reflect the SPSC’s commitment to a fair, merit-based selection process, which is crucial for strengthening institutional capacity and governance in the province.

Final Call to Action for Candidates

Aspiring civil servants who have qualified must now focus their energies on final preparations. They should:

1. Verify Details: Double-check the official SPSC website and notification for their specific slot and any last-minute updates.

2. Gather Documents: Ensure all original academic certificates, domicile, CNIC, and other required documents are organized and ready for presentation.

3. Plan Logistics: Make necessary travel and accommodation arrangements well in advance to avoid any last-day hassles.

The announcement of the SPSC CCE-2023 interview schedule sets the stage for the culmination of a rigorous selection journey. As candidates gear up for this decisive encounter, the process underscores the importance of meritocracy in shaping a competent and dedicated executive cadre for Sindh. The coming weeks will be decisive in determining the final selection of individuals poised to take on the challenges and responsibilities of serving the public.
