Civil Servants Training | Civil Service Neutrality

Training is the process of developing skills, habits, knowledge and attitudes in public servants to increase the efficiency and effectiveness to prepare candidates before and after allocation in the civil service.

Here are some types of training:

  • Pre-Entry Training: School, college and universities are the main institutes for this kind of training. These institutes induct basic required training in the candidates, which makes them eligible for public service. Like, engineering degree holder students can apply for a post, which requires an engineering expertise and is related to engineering work. And a medical degree holder applies in the medical field, and so on.

  • Orientation Training: This training aims at introducing basic concepts of job, new work environment, organisation and its goals to an employee. An effective orientation training makes people feel more comfortable with their role in the company, and trains them to learn the institute's policies.

  • Post-Entry Training: After allocation in the civil service, a basic training is scheduled for the newly appointed civil servants ,which makes them able to learn about their respective department, field and job criteria.

  • In-Service Training: To meet new and complex challenges, civil servants are trained to meet the new requirements of the time.


Civil Service Neutrality: Civil servants should have no political association nor personal affiliation. To end corruption, nepotism, and favouritism, civil service neutrality is prerequisite. For this purpose, various training programmes or institutions have been arranged and established respectively, but useless. It is the political interference and self-interests that have devastated our administrative service. Moreover, a number of commissions have been made to propose recommendations for the reformation in the civil services of Pakistan, but those recommendations have been left unapplied due to lack of political will.
