PPSC Jobs 2026: Advertisement 10/2026, 1,992 Posts, Last Date 5 October

The Punjab Public Service Commission has issued Advertisement No. 10/2026 with 1,992 posts across three departments. The closing date is 5 October 2026 and applications go through www.ppsc.gop.pk only.

Almost the whole advertisement is one cadre: 1,958 Charge Nurse (Female) posts in BS-16. This is one of the largest single nursing recruitments Punjab has run.

The posts

Post	Department	Scale	Vacancies
Charge Nurse (Female)	Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education	BS-16	1,958

Assistant Director (Engineering)	PHATA, Housing and Urban Development	BS-17	3

Charge Nurse: who qualifies

You need either a four-year B.Sc. Nursing degree or a Diploma in General Nursing and Midwifery, and in both cases a valid Pakistan Nursing Council registration. Candidates from government institutions are given preference.

The age limit for female candidates is 21 to 28 years, with relaxation available up to 36 years. Transgender candidates' age is taken from the CNIC. Domicile of any district of Punjab is accepted.

The 1,958 posts break down as 1,801 on open merit, 98 on the minority quota and 59 on the special persons quota.

The other three cadres

Assistant Director (Engineering) needs a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering plus a valid Pakistan Engineering Council registration. Assistant Director (Town Planning) needs a B.Sc. in City and Regional Planning. Veterinary Officer needs a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree with Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council registration.

How the selection works

Where a written test is held, it is a one-paper MCQ exam of 100 marks in 90 minutes, based on the qualification for the post. Shortlisted candidates then go to interview before the Commission.

Mistakes that cost people the application

Apply online at www.ppsc.gop.pk and nowhere else. PPSC does not accept applications by post or through any agent or aggregator site.

Get your PNC, PEC or PVMC registration renewed before you apply, not after. An expired council registration on the closing date is the single most common reason nursing and engineering applications are rejected at scrutiny.

Pay the challan fee inside the window and keep the paid copy. Upload a clear CNIC and the exact degree or diploma the advertisement names.

A BS-16 post starts on the Punjab government's running basic pay scale, so use our salary breakdown calculator to see what a BS-16 gross figure leaves you after tax and deductions, and the income tax calculator for the annual liability on a government salary.
