Assistant Director (Design)

About This Job

The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) is inviting applications for the post of Assistant Director (Design), to be filled under the Social Welfare & Bait-ul-Maal Department. Advertised under Case No. 26-RM/2026 as part of PPSC's Advertisement No. 09/2026, published in newspapers on 06 September 2026, this recruitment covers 13 vacancies on a BS-17 pay scale, offered on a contract basis for 5 years. Of these, the seats are distributed as 7 Open Merit, 4 Women Quota, 1 Minority Quota, 1 Special Persons Quota, under the Commission's standard quota system. The selected candidate(s) will be posted at Any Where in Punjab. This is a genuine opportunity for candidates seeking a stable career within the Punjab Government's civil administration. As one of the province's primary hiring bodies, PPSC recruitment carries the usual benefits associated with government service, including a structured pay package, allowances as admissible, and long-term career progression within the Social Welfare & Bait-ul-Maal Department.

On the qualification front, PPSC requires Master's Degree in Fine Arts (2nd Division) or an equivalent Master's degree from a recognized university. The prescribed age bracket runs from a minimum of 21 years, up to a maximum of 35 years for male applicants and 38 years for female applicants, the higher female ceiling reflecting the standard 8-year relaxation granted to women candidates under Punjab Government policy (versus the 5-year relaxation given to men). Transgender candidates are assessed on the basis of the age and sex recorded on their CNIC, and the post is open to male, female, and transgender candidates alike. Domicile eligibility is open to candidates domiciled anywhere in Punjab, and applicants already serving in government departments must obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) clearance from their current employer before applying, per PPSC's standing instructions. Where foreign or private-institution qualifications and experience are cited, these are only counted if backed by the relevant HEC/QEDC equivalence certificate or, for professional/medical/engineering posts, valid registration with the applicable regulatory council (PMC/PMDC/PEC/PCATP as relevant) that remains valid up to the closing date. Merit will be determined through a written test: one-paper MCQ written test of 100 marks and 90 minutes' duration, covering qualification-related questions.

Eligible candidates must apply strictly online through the Commission's official portal at ppsc.gop.pk, selecting Advertisement No. 09/2026 and the relevant Case No. 26-RM/2026 for this post before the closing date of 21 September 2026. The PPSC application fee is payable online only, through 1Link member banks, ATM, mobile/internet banking, JazzCash, EasyPaisa, U Paisa, or participating microfinance banks, and the paid challan/receipt must be retained for record and verification purposes. Applicants should have scanned copies of their CNIC, educational certificates/transcripts, domicile certificate, a recent passport-size photograph, and any experience or registration certificates ready before starting the form, since the online application cannot be saved indefinitely. As with all PPSC advertisements, incomplete or late applications will not be entertained, so candidates should re-check their eligibility against the qualification, age, and domicile conditions before submitting. Any change in the number of posts after advertisement will not require candidates to submit a fresh application, per the Commission's standard policy printed on the advertisement.
