Quetta serves as the sole testing centre in Balochistan for both Federal Public Service Commi- ssion (FPSC) and the Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) exams. Candidates from remote areas travel thousands of kilometres to the provincial capital for these crucial exams, often bearing a substantial financial burden. The journey to Quetta entails not only transportation costs, but also expenses for accommodation, meals and other required necessities. Many candidates simply cannot afford such a burden, and have to skip the exams. There is an urgent need to establish more testing centres in the province to reduce the financial burden on the aspirants, and to ensure due accessibility and inclusivity in the recruitment process.
