Under administrative reforms of 1973, the name of Civil Service of Pakistan was changed to All-Pakistan Unified Group (APUG) of which the DMG and Police Service of Pakistan are now major components.


In 1954, an agreement was reached between the Governor General of Pakistan and the governors of the provinces to constitute an All-Pakistan service. Later it was named the Civil Service of Pakistan. After Indian independence, the ICS component ceded to Pakistan was renamed the Pakistan Administrative Service. The Indian Civil Service (ICS)-also known once as Imperial Civil Service, predecessor of the Civil Service of Pakistan and District Management Group-was established by the British to bolster the British Raj. Those selected for this group have to undergo a two-year training programme at the Civil Services Academy (CSA) in Lahore, Pakistan. Officers in this group are recruited through a competitive examination held once a year by the Federal Public Service Commission of Pakistan. District Management Group or DMG, is an elite cadre of the Civil Service of Pakistan.
