The Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC), headquartered in Hyderabad, recruits for Sindh government posts including Mukhtiarkar, Assistant, Excise & Taxation Officer, Lecturers and Medical Officers, and conducts the Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) for the provincial civil service. Almost every track starts with an MCQ screening test.
This guide organizes SPSC preparation around what actually gets tested: a subject-wise syllabus with weightage — including the Sindh-specific portion candidates often ignore — the paper pattern, major posts, and a step-by-step plan.
