Assistant Director (Legal)

About This Job

FPSC's Consolidated Advertisement No. 3/2026 (issued in Islamabad on 11 August 2026) includes 12 vacancies for Assistant Director (Legal) (BS-17) in Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), a body operating under the Ministry of Interior & Narcotics Control, listed under case number F.4-154/2026-R. The appointment is temporary likely to become/be permanent. Selected candidates should be prepared for a posting anywhere in Pakistan, as determined by the department. The post forms part of a large federal recruitment drive covering 68 distinct positions this cycle, and FPSC will manage the entire selection process from application screening through to the written test and final interview.

Candidates applying for this post are required to possess 2nd Division LLB from an HEC-recognized university. In terms of experience, the advertisement calls for 2 years post-qualification legal practice/prosecution experience. FPSC has fixed the age limit at 22 to 30 years, with an additional five years of general relaxation applicable under the 1993 Relaxation of Upper Age Limit Rules (as amended). The post is open to both male and female candidates, subject to the domicile and quota conditions below. The 12 available seats are distributed against Punjab (6), Sindh (Rural) (2), Sindh (Urban) (1), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (2), Ex-FATA (1). Additionally, 3 seat(s) reserved under the women quota and 1 seat(s) reserved for religious minorities. At the interview stage, shortlisted candidates will be asked to produce originals and copies of their Matric and Intermediate certificates, degree(s), CNIC, domicile certificate and, where applicable, an experience certificate issued by an authorized officer clearly stating the nature of the job performed. As with all 68 posts in Consolidated Advertisement No. 3/2026, applicants for Assistant Director (Legal) are expected to submit complete, verifiable documentation matching the domicile and category claimed at the time of application, since discrepancies discovered later in the process can lead to rejection even after an initial shortlist is issued.

The application process is entirely online via www.fpsc.gov.pk, and the online form may be edited once before submission closes; applications sent by post or delivered by hand are not accepted under this advertisement. The applicable fee for this BS-17 post is Rs. 600/-, payable through the FPSC-generated PSID using 1-Link facilities (ATM, mobile/branchless banking, Easypaisa, JazzCash) or at a bank counter. The closing date for online applications is 31 August 2026, after which FPSC will not accept further submissions, and any change of test centre must be requested within 10 days of that closing date. Eligible candidates are expected to appear for a written objective-type test tentatively planned for 10 October 2026, with shortlisted candidates called for a subsequent interview and required to bring valid original CNIC plus their downloaded Admission Certificate; those interested should apply well before the deadline to avoid last-minute portal congestion, since test dates, syllabus details and admission certificates are announced only on the FPSC website with no separate postal intimation.
