This syllabus is only available as a scan
FPSC publishes pages 39-40 of the Balochi syllabus as scanned images rather than text, so the topic list cannot be reproduced here at all. Optical character recognition on this script drops letters and reverses the order of right-to-left text, and a syllabus that is subtly wrong is worse than one that is openly incomplete. Read the official pages in the FPSC PDF. Everything else on this page - marks, paper structure and the reading list - is accurate.
