Any recommended institute to study syllabus of pms please?
Many institutes are available to prepare syllabus of pms. In Lahore, popular ones are: KIPS, Officers Academy, Civil Service Academy and others
From where we can purchase the specific books which we have to read to cover this syllabus???
Is there any recommended institute for pms in MULTAN?
any recommended institute to study PMS syllabus in Gujranwala?
One can buy books from from Urdu Bazar Lahore, but i would recommend to find a decent library where you can find most of the books related to PMS. Use that library more often, make a schedule and start your preparations.
Many people get scared of making a schedule. It is highly recommended but if one can manage to achieve his 60% of tasks daily. He/She is doing good.
Best of Luck
