According to the KPPSC results, 3,097 applications were received for the available positions. All applicants were provisionally allowed to take the syllabus-based written examination.
However, only 1,024 candidates eventually appeared in the examination. Three candidates successfully cleared the written examination.
The successful candidates are Saba Rasool from South Waziristan, Abdullah Noor from Bajaur, and Sayed Zahid Hussain from Mardan.
