Youth/Applicants/Candidates are Financially bankrupt by Government Policies - Pakistan

We have been discussing in a while about Government of Pakistan and its policies for establishing testing mechanisms for recruitment or hiring process so called "merit system".
We will never see such testing service business hold outside Pakistan where unemployed is being forced to pay for recruitment process costs.
In Pakistan, inflation rate is on peak while per capita income of individuals are below 17000 Rupees, but rather than focusing on improving infrastructure, providing opportunities,
Government along with status quo, elite class and stakeholders has looted the innocent civilians.
Recently, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service (KPPSC) has launched online application system, where individuals can pay the amount of FEE online for PMS and other positions.
The cost for PMS application requires 985 (inclusive 28 RS. of all taxes), here, the applicant have to pay taxes in two categories.
First, candidates are paying RS. 985 (along with 9-15% GST tax),
Second, applicant is already paying the transaction cost of 1013-985 = RS. 28.
Now, the burden on applicants of paying FEE and TAXES has gained nothing more than (TRY TRY AGAIN) scenario, it is profitable for businesses.

Note: (This situation is not only limited to kppsc/NTS)
This article is not meant to criticize single province or its government (Includes all).

Scam/Fraud openings (Manipulation of Youth):
Let's talk about scams and frauds, how government/private institutions are somehow earning higher revenues through your fee?
Advertising one (1) post for sake of conducting tests from 20,000 candidates nothing more than dipping the head of all fishes in single class of water where 19999 dies and one may luckily live, if, on merit system otherwise, (1) fish may also deprive of opportunity if position is already held at price of huge bribe.

Terrorism is not worst than financial rape of youth;
There are thousands of applicants/students have no better financial background, paying FEE again and again for different position never improves the life of individuals but it has made the organizations profitable and hunted unemployed youth.
Criminals in Pakistan are educated, having degrees but negligence of government and silence of civilians, authorities, Ministries led youth to darker side of our society.

What actual cost applicants/candidates are paying before and after applying for a single test?
We will take an example as average cost,
Individuals are paying Average cost of 500 Rupees of Testing Fee (Inclusive of 10-25% GST tax),
Documents photocopies, Passport size pictures, envelops costs average of 150 Rupees per individual,
Sending the documents through proper channel, post of Pakistan or TCS/LCS average cost is 80 Rupees.
If test is conducted far more away from your own district or City then you are going to pay travel costs which is around Rs. 500 to 1000 as per distance.
If we sum the cost of single applicant here,
It is around = Rs. 1440 on average cost of single applicant/candidate for single application.
If you are appearing for more than one (1) test monthly then you can calculate the cost by multiplying (=).

Now, it is your job, how far you can raise your voice against injustice and financial rape of youth.

I hope, somewhere, somebody will listen...
