Deputy Director

About This Job

Job seekers looking to join the federal government have a fresh opportunity as FPSC has opened 6 vacancies for Deputy Director (BS-18) at Board of Investment, under the Prime Minister's Office, via Consolidated Advertisement No. 3/2026 dated 11 August 2026 (case F.4-131/2026-R). The engagement is on a permanent 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.

Eligibility for the post rests on 2nd Division Master's degree or equivalent, in the same subjects listed for the Director General post. In terms of experience, the advertisement calls for 5 years post-qualification experience at BS-17 and above in the same fields. The age limit prescribed in the advertisement is 25 to 35 years, further relaxable by five years under the standard federal age-relaxation rules of 1993. The post is open to both male and female candidates, subject to the domicile and quota conditions below. Among the 6 seats notified for this post, allocation runs against Merit (all-Pakistan, non-domicile) (1), Punjab (3), Sindh (Rural) (1), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (1). Additionally, 2 seat(s) reserved under the women quota. Government servants intending to apply must first obtain a Departmental Permission Certificate (DPC) from their employer, and all candidates should note that experience gained with private firms is credited only where the organization is well established, properly registered, and maintains verifiable office records. As with all 68 posts in Consolidated Advertisement No. 3/2026, applicants for Deputy Director 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.

To apply, candidates must submit their application online at www.fpsc.gov.pk before the closing date of 31 August 2026; FPSC does not accept manual applications under this advertisement, and only one edit to the submitted form is allowed prior to closing. A fee of Rs. 1500/- applies for this BS-18 post and can be paid online via PSID through 1-Link (ATM/mobile banking/Easypaisa/JazzCash) or at a bank branch. Government employees must obtain a Departmental Permission Certificate before applying and quote its reference number in the form, while candidates relying on foreign or unusual qualifications should first secure an HEC equivalence certificate. Following the closing date, a written MCQ-based test is tentatively expected around 10 October 2026, with shortlisted candidates proceeding to interview per FPSC policy; candidates are encouraged to complete their online application promptly, keep watch on www.fpsc.gov.pk for the test schedule and admission certificate, and arrive at the centre with original CNIC and no electronic devices, since none are permitted inside the exam hall.
