About the Federal Public Service Commission
The Federal Public Service Commission, headquartered in Islamabad, is Pakistan’s top federal recruiting institution. Created under Article 242 of the Constitution of Pakistan, it handles recruitment for gazetted posts (BS-16 and above) in the federal government, including the prestigious Central Superior Services examination. FPSC is widely respected for a transparent, merit-based process built on screening tests and interviews. Its consolidated advertisements bundle vacancies from dozens of federal departments into a single announcement. Advertisement No. 10/2026 continues that tradition — and with over 1,200 posts on the table, it is one of the biggest consolidated ads of the year.

Eligibility Criteria
FPSC sets its eligibility post-wise, so the exact requirements differ from one case number to another. The general framework below applies across the advertisement — confirm the fine print for your chosen post in the official ad.
Educational Qualification
Candidates need post-relevant Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees from universities recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC). Teaching posts such as Secondary School Teacher generally require a Master’s degree with professional training such as a B.Ed, while investigative and specialist posts ask for degrees in relevant disciplines. Degrees earned abroad must carry HEC equivalence. Check your post’s advertisement line before paying the fee.
Experience Required
Most of the advertised posts are open to fresh candidates with no prior experience, which makes this advertisement especially attractive for recent graduates. Where a post genuinely needs experience — for example, senior or specialist positions — the advertisement states the required years clearly. Government servants need a Departmental Permission Certificate before applying.
Age Limit
Age limits are fixed post-wise according to the basic scale, and FPSC adds its standard general age relaxation on top of the advertised limit. Exact minimum and maximum ages differ between case numbers, so read the age clause for your specific post in the official advertisement.
Gender
Male, female, and transgender Pakistani citizens are all eligible to apply, and the advertisement carries the usual women and minority quotas under federal policy. Domicile quotas are distributed across Punjab, Sindh (Rural and Urban), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, former FATA, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
Salary and Benefits
Selected candidates join federal service in gazetted grades (BS-16 to BS-19), with pay fixed under the federal basic pay scales plus the usual allowances — house rent, conveyance, and medical among them. Federal employees also earn pension benefits, annual increments, and structured promotion paths up the service ladder. Beyond the money, a federal posting brings nationwide mobility, professional training opportunities, and the job security that makes government service the first choice for so many Pakistani families.
How to Apply
FPSC accepts applications online only. Follow these steps carefully — and do not wait for the last day, because the portal gets heavy traffic near the deadline.
- Deposit the test fee first. Generate the fee challan/PSID from the FPSC website and pay through 1-Link (ATM, mobile banking, Easypaisa/JazzCash) or in cash at any National Bank of Pakistan or State Bank of Pakistan branch, under head “C02104-Organs of State-Exam Fee (FPSC Receipts)”. Fee: Rs. 300 (BS-16/17), Rs. 750 (BS-18), Rs. 1,200 (BS-19), Rs. 1,500 (BS-20+). (If banking careers interest you too, see our guide to NBP Jobs 2026.)
- Open the online portal at online.fpsc.gov.pk and go to General Recruitment, then Apply Online.
- Select the case number that matches your qualification and read its requirements once more.
- Enter your details: CNIC number, challan/PSID payment details (bank name, branch code, payment date), and academic qualifications with exact degree percentages.
- Choose your preferred test center — Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Sukkur, Multan, or Gilgit.
- Review everything, submit the form before the closing date, and save or print the auto-generated application for your record. No hard copy needs to be posted to FPSC at this stage.
Required Documents Checklist
Have these ready before you start the form (originals are checked at the interview): two recent passport-size photographs; Matric, Intermediate, Bachelor’s, and Master’s certificates and degrees; valid CNIC; domicile certificate of your province or region; experience certificate where the post requires it; Departmental Permission Certificate for government employees; and HEC equivalence for foreign degrees. Any mismatch with the online form can end your candidacy.
Selection Procedure
Selection runs in three stages: a screening (MCQ) test on the syllabus published at fpsc.gov.pk (schedule announced after the closing date), an interview before an FPSC panel, and document verification. Final selection follows a consolidated merit list. Note that no TA or DA is paid for appearing in the test or interview, and mobile phones and electronic devices are strictly banned inside test centers.
Important Dates
The closing date is the line you cannot afford to get wrong — verify it on the official portal, not in forwarded messages.
