Assistant Director Inspection (General)

About This Job

The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) has advertised the post of Assistant Director Inspection (General), to be filled on behalf of the Chief Minister's Inspection Team (CMIT). Advertised under Case No. 27-RD/2026 as part of PPSC's Consolidated Advertisement No. 08/2026, published on 18 August 2026, this recruitment covers 22 vacancies on a lump-sum monthly pay package, offered on a contract basis for 2 years, extendable subject to good performance. Of these, the seats include 3 for women, 1 for religious minorities under the Commission's standard quota system, with the remainder reserved for open merit. The selected candidate(s) will be posted at Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi. 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 scale, allowances as admissible, and long-term career progression within the Chief Minister's Inspection Team (CMIT).

On the qualification front, PPSC requires Master's degree or BS Hons (16 years of education) or equivalent, HEC-recognized; proficient in MS Office. The prescribed age bracket runs from a minimum of 22 years, up to a maximum of 33 years for male applicants and 36 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. The post is open to male, female, and transgender candidates alike. Domicile eligibility is restricted to candidates holding domicile 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 posts, valid registration with the applicable regulatory council (PMC/PM&DC/PVMC/PEC as relevant) that remains valid up to the closing date. Merit will be determined through a MCQ Written Test (Qualifying: 40% marks minimum; Negative marking: 0.25 per wrong answer) carrying 100 marks. The paper draws on Qualification-related MCQs. Candidates who qualify the written stage are subsequently called for a formal interview, held at a ratio of roughly 1:5 against the number of advertised posts.

Eligible candidates must apply strictly online through the Commission's official portal at ppsc.gop.pk, selecting Advertisement No. 08/2026 and the relevant Case No. 27-RD/2026 for this post before the closing date of 03 September 2026. The standard PPSC application fee of Rs. 600 is payable 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. Prospective applicants are advised to carefully re-check their eligibility against the qualification, age, and domicile conditions before submitting the online application. 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.
