Usaid Rafiq: Meet Son of School Teacher who rose from Small Village to Top CSS 2025

KARACHI – CSS examination continues to see remarkable stories of candidates emerging from humble backgrounds across Pakistan. One such inspiring example is Usaid Rafiq, whose journey stands out not only for successfully clearing this highly competitive exam but for securing the top position nationwide, making his achievement truly exceptional. Usaid Rafiq from Chak 252 GB Lasori, Toba Tek Singh, secured the first position in highly competitive CSS 2025 examination, turning his modest village background into a national success story. Usaid Rafiq Rafiq hails from a family deeply rooted in education and public service. His father, Mian Abid Rafiq, is a retired government school teacher, while his mother continues to serve as a teacher. His sister is a practicing doctor, reflecting a strong family legacy dedicated to serving society through education and healthcare. According to official results, Rafiq secured a total of 939 marks, including 714 in written papers and 225 in the viva voce. However, his journey to the top was far from comfortable. In English (Precis and Composition), he scored exactly 40 marks, the minimum passing score, meaning even a single mark less would have pushed him out of the competitive race entirely. Observers called his achievement as a gripping example of how determination, discipline, and unwavering family support can turn a humble rural upbringing into an extraordinary national accomplishment. Usaid’s village also carries remarkable historical connection, as another native, Sajid Javed, previously rose to international prominence by serving as both the Home Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer in the UK.
