General Science for CSS, PMS

General Science & Ability is a compulsory subject in CSS. It is one of the highest-scoring subjects. However, the diversity of topics included in this subject makes it one of the trickiest subjects as well. However, students can get high marks if they study quality content and get guidance from professional and seasoned teachers.

CSS General Science & Ability syllabus is divided into two different parts: General Science and General Ability. However, This course will cover the General Science Part Only. Syllabus is given below
