Data Processing Assistant (PPS-05)

About This Job

The Planning & Development (P&D) Board, Government of the Punjab, has advertised a vacancy for Data Processing Assistant (PPS-05) on a contract basis under its project "Enhancing Institutional Effectiveness of Planning & Development Board." One post is available for a Lahore-based candidate who will support day-to-day data-entry and processing work for the Board's province-wide reform initiative, offering an entry-to-mid-level IT professional a foothold in provincial government service alongside several other technical and administrative posts the Board is filling under the same project. The vacancy was formally advertised under reference IPL-10213, published in the press on 28 September 2026 and listed on the Punjab Job Portal the following day.

Eligible applicants need a 2nd Division BS (Hons.) or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Systems Engineering, or an equivalent discipline from a recognized university, together with at least two years of relevant experience in the public or private sector in a similar data-processing role. The post is open to both men and women between the ages of 22 and 40, with this bracket calculated as of the closing date and already inclusive of any applicable age relaxation, and only candidates who hold a domicile of the Punjab are eligible to apply for this position. Government servants who wish to apply must route their application through the proper departmental channel rather than applying directly.

Candidates who satisfy the eligibility criteria should apply online through the official Punjab Job Portal at www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk on or before 19 October 2026, and must upload soft copies of their academic and experience certificates as part of the online application - incomplete applications or those missing supporting documents will not be considered for shortlisting, and submitting fake documents or concealing any fact will lead to disqualification. Only short-listed candidates will be called for a test or interview, where original documents must be produced; no TA/DA is payable for attending. Government employees applying for this post must do so through the proper channel, and the Board reserves the right to increase, decrease, or withhold filling any of the advertised positions. The engagement is purely contractual, filled strictly on merit, and does not confer any right to regular appointment, seniority, or pension. This vacancy forms part of the same recruitment drive as four other Planning & Development Board posts advertised together, all closing on the same 19 October 2026 date. Interested candidates are advised to complete their online application well ahead of the closing date so their documents can be verified in time, since applications will not be reopened once the deadline has passed.
