A Pakistani couple, Dr. Hajra Niaz and her husband Huzaifa Mughal, passed their CSS exam on their first try. They shared the news on social media.
“We dreamed it together and achieved it together. Both my wife and I have passed CSS 2023. I got into the Police Service of Pakistan and she got into the Inland Revenue Services,” Mughal said in a post.
“I was in my second year of MBBS when Huzaifa proposed to me. I told him about my career goals, and he said, ‘We’ll achieve them together,'” Dr. Hajra said.
Since then, Dr. Hajra has won several awards, including the Prime Minister Innovation Award, the KPK Innovation Award, and 19 essay awards. She has been recognized by the BBC, received the Dean’s Honour, served as a Youth Parliamentarian, and passed the CSS exam on her first attempt.
When the exam results came out, Dr. Hajra received many messages on WhatsApp and Instagram.
Dr. Hajra attended Army Burn Hall School and College, Abbottabad for her schooling and completed her MBBS from Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad.
In 2018, she won the Youth Innovation Award from the KP government and worked with the UNDP for the welfare of transgender communities and acid attack survivors.
Dr. Hajra founded the Ayubian Literary and Arts Forum (ALAF), revived the Karakorum magazine of Ayub Medical College, and established the Students’ Organization for Counseling, Rehabilitation, Art Therapy, Education, and Support (SOCRATES).
When asked if the CSS exam is difficult, Dr. Hajra said, “My five years of professional preparation for MBBS was not as difficult as the CSS.”
In addition to her achievements, she runs a social enterprise called the Annon Association for mental health.
