Assistant Director (Town Planning) BS-17, PHATA Housing and Urban Development Punjab, Lahore

The Punjab Public Service Commission has advertised 3 Assistant Director (Town Planning) posts in BS-17 for the Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency (PHATA), under the Housing, Urban Development and Public Health Engineering Department. The posts fall under Advertisement No. 10/2026.

All three are open merit seats on a three-year contract.

Who qualifies

A B.Sc. in City and Regional Planning.

Age limits are unusually wide for this cadre: male candidates 21 to 35 years and female candidates 21 to 43 years, with 5 years of general relaxation on top in both cases. If you left a planning degree some years ago and assumed you had aged out of BS-17 competition, check this one again.

Selection

A one-paper MCQ test of 100 marks in 90 minutes based on the qualification, followed by interview before the Commission for shortlisted candidates.

How to apply

Online only at www.ppsc.gop.pk. The fee is paid through ATM, mobile or internet banking, JazzCash, EasyPaisa or U Paisa.

Last date: 5 October 2026.

City and Regional Planning is a small field in Pakistan and PHATA posts come up rarely, so three seats will draw most of the qualified pool in the province.
