Muslim Law & Jurisprudence drew 295 candidates in CSS 2025 and allocated a single one of them. The paper is a strong one to score in, with a mean of 53% well above the passing line, so the lone allocation reflects a very thin written pass and a hard merit cut rather than a difficult exam. Only four candidates cleared the written stage from the full field.
Muslim Law & Jurisprudence's mean of 53% sits 9.5 points above the CSS optional-subject average of 43.5%, marking it as a comfortably above-average paper to score in. The strong mean is real but largely academic given the outcome, since the subject produced only one allocation from 295 candidates. A high average drawn from a field where so few cleared the written stage tells a candidate little about their genuine odds.
Of the 295 who appeared, 4 passed the written stage and 1 was allocated. With a mean of 53% sitting well above the 33% threshold, the paper is not the obstacle, yet only four candidates reached a passing standard and just one survived the merit cut. A single allocation from 295 leaves almost no room for error.
The mean of 53% clears the passing line by 20 points, and with the median higher still at 57% the distribution leans firmly to the left, carried by strong scripts. A standard deviation of 19 points places a candidate one deviation below the mean at 34%, just above the threshold, which makes this a low-risk paper to score in. Even below-average candidates clear the line, so the score separates few of the small number who attempt the subject seriously. The constraint is the thin field and the single seat, not the difficulty of the paper. The median sitting four points above the mean is the signature of a left skew: a few low scripts drag the average down, so the middle candidate is scoring nearer 57% than the 53% mean implies.
The lone allocation went to a KPK candidate, with no other province securing a seat. One allocation offers no distribution to read beyond recording the single successful candidate's province.
The one allocated candidate was a man, making the female share zero in a sample of a single seat. No conclusion about gendered conversion can be drawn from one outcome.
Muslim Law & Jurisprudence suits candidates with a genuine command of Islamic legal principles who can write to a high standard, and even they should weigh the 2025 record. One allocation from 295 applicants is a stark figure. The scoreable paper is not the opportunity it looks like, because almost no candidate converted it into a seat.
