Assistant Meteorologist

About This Job

Job seekers looking to join the federal government have a fresh opportunity as FPSC has opened 18 vacancies for Assistant Meteorologist (BS-16) at Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), under the Ministry of Defence, via Consolidated Advertisement No. 3/2026 dated 11 August 2026 (case F.4-171/2026-R). The engagement is on a temporary but may continue for an indefinite period footing. Selected candidates should be prepared for a posting anywhere in Pakistan, as determined by the department. This vacancy is part of a wider consolidated recruitment covering dozens of federal posts, underscoring the range of technical, administrative, medical and teaching roles currently open across government departments.

To be eligible, candidates must hold 2nd Division Master's/Bachelor's degree (16-year), in the same subjects listed for the Director / Principal Meteorologist post, from an HEC-recognized university. The prescribed age bracket for this post is 20 to 28 years, and this limit carries a further five-year general relaxation in the upper age limit under the Initial Appointment to Civil Posts (Relaxation of Upper Age Limit) Rules 1993, as amended. The post is open to both male and female candidates, subject to the domicile and quota conditions below. Of the 18 vacancies on offer, seats are allocated against Merit (all-Pakistan, non-domicile) (2), Punjab (9), Sindh (Rural) (2), Sindh (Urban) (1), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (2), Balochistan (1), Ex-FATA (1). Additionally, 1 seat(s) reserved under the women quota and 1 seat(s) reserved for religious minorities. Candidates claiming equivalence of a foreign or non-standard degree must additionally obtain an HEC equivalence certificate, and any experience quoted from a firm, company or NGO is only counted by FPSC if that organization is nationally or internationally recognized, registered with the government, and maintains a proper office and registration number. As with all 68 posts in Consolidated Advertisement No. 3/2026, applicants for Assistant Meteorologist 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.

Interested and eligible candidates must apply online exclusively through www.fpsc.gov.pk; no manual or hardcopy applications will be entertained, and the online form can be edited once before the closing date. A processing fee of Rs. 600/- is payable online via the PSID generated on the FPSC portal, through 1-Link channels such as ATM, mobile banking, Easypaisa or JazzCash, or over a bank counter. Applications must reach FPSC by the closing date of 31 August 2026, and government servants are additionally required to secure a Departmental Permission Certificate (DPC) before applying and quote its reference number online. Shortlisted candidates will subsequently sit a written test (objective MCQs) tentatively scheduled for 10 October 2026, followed by an interview as per FPSC's shortlisting policy; candidates must bring their original CNIC and downloaded Admission Certificate to the test centre, as cell phones and other electronic devices are strictly barred from the exam hall and carry a risk of permanent debarment if found. Test schedules, syllabi and admission certificates will be published later on the FPSC website, with no postal notice issued, so candidates should not delay their application given the volume of posts advertised in this consolidated notification.
