What Kind of Jobs / Tests Do They Handle?

CTSP / CTSPAK is not exactly an employer—they don’t usually employ in the sense of giving you a permanent job themselves; rather, they conduct the exams/tests that are part of other organizations’ recruitment processes. Some of the roles & tests include:

Recruitment screening tests for government departments (district & session courts, Rescue 1122, etc.) CTS.COM.PK+3CTSP+3CTSP+3

Conclusion

If you’re job hunting in Pakistan, anything advertised “via CTSP / CTSPAK / CTS” is usually a test-assisted recruitment that can lead to a permanent or apprentice role in government or private sector. It’s not a job agency that employs directly, but a testing body that does the screening for many employers.

Using CTSP correctly—following its procedures, meeting its criteria, and preparing well—can open strong opportunities because many departments trust its process. Just be cautious of fake ads, read everything carefully, and apply on time.
