In sum, the table adds up to 278 vacancies: 56 in items 1 to 20, 160 in item 21, and 62 in items 22 to 48. The Assistant Audit Officer row alone carries 160 of the 278 seats, so it shapes the whole round.
One row needs care. Item 2, Professor at PIMS, is a re-advertisement of Case No. F.4-152/2026-R. It first appeared under Consolidated Advertisement No. 3/2026 dated 11 August 2026, and it was printed in the newspapers on 16 August 2026.
In other words, a fresh application is not needed if you already applied in August. Candidates who already applied for it need not apply again, and the note is printed in the advertisement itself.
Biggest openings in this round
Assistant Audit Officer leads the round by a wide margin, with 160 posts in the Office of the Auditor General of Pakistan. For example, the quota split runs across every province and region, with 80 seats for Punjab, 18 each for Sindh (Rural) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 12 each for merit and Sindh (Urban), 10 for Balochistan, 5 for Ex-FATA, 3 for AJK and 2 for Gilgit-Baltistan. Readers who want the earlier audit round can also check the Auditor General Pakistan Jobs 2026 before they decide.
Demonstrator comes next, with 25 posts at the Federal Medical College. In the same way, the spread again covers merit, Punjab, both parts of Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Ex-FATA and AJK. After that, the Research Officer, Planning Officer and Survey Officer group in the Economists Group carries 12 posts, while Nurse at AFIRM carries 10 and Professor at PIMS carries 6.
Meanwhile, planning posts form the second cluster in size. The Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives holds ten of the 48 items, from Deputy Chief at BS-19 down to Research Officer at BS-17, across its energy, health, nutrition, housing, science and environment sections. Readers who follow that ministry can also check the Ministry of Planning Jobs 2026 for its earlier openings.
Which post fits you
| If your background is | Look at |
|---|---|
| Medicine, teaching or nursing | Professor, Associate Professor and Demonstrator at PIMS and Federal Medical College, Nurse at AFIRM, Civilian Medical Practitioner at GHQ |
| Audit and accounts | Assistant Audit Officer, the largest opening in this round |
| Engineering, signals or railways | Assistant Signal / Telecom Engineer, Assistant Executive Engineer, Assistant Mechanical Engineer and the other railways posts |
| Planning, economics or research | Deputy Chief, Assistant Chief and Research Officer posts in the Planning Ministry, plus the Economists Group posts |
| Defence headquarters work | Junior Scientific Officer, Ordnance Management Officer, Junior Civilian Labour Officer and the other GHQ posts |
| Law, libraries or administration | Assistant Draftsman in the Law and Justice Ministry, Assistant Library, Assistant Director and Statistical Officer |
| Gilgit-Baltistan domicile | Scientific Officer, Research Officer, Planning Officer, Architect and Superintendent in the GB departments |
Use the table above as a starting point only. In particular, the grade and the domicile column still decide whether a post is open to you. After that, open the per-post details on the FPSC website and match your qualification against them before you spend time on the form.
About the commission and the round
The Federal Public Service Commission recruits for the federal government. For that reason, it issues consolidated advertisements that bundle posts from many ministries into one notice. This round, Phase-4 of 2026, follows that pattern. In particular, it bundles posts from the health, planning, railways, defence, finance, energy and law ministries into a single list.
Each row in the table carries three facts: the post and grade, the number of vacancies, and the domicile or quota. Merit seats are open to candidates on merit, while provincial and regional seats go to candidates holding the domicile named in the row. Women and minority quotas appear inside several rows, so read the full split rather than the headline number.
One point deserves emphasis, because the newspaper advertisement does not print the qualification, experience, age limit, fee or test details for any post. It says those details for each post are available on the FPSC website, and the article follows the same line: no per-post qualification is stated here, because the advertisement does not give it.
Who should apply
Candidates whose domicile matches a row in the table fit this round, provided that their qualification matches the per-post details on the FPSC website. The quota column is the first filter, and the website details are the second, so check both before you apply.
Teachers and doctors fit the PIMS and Federal Medical College rows, while audit and accounts candidates fit the Assistant Audit Officer row. Engineers fit the railways and GB rows, and planners and economists fit the Planning Ministry rows. The defence rows suit candidates who want civilian posts at GHQ and its attached institutes.
Two groups should hold off. First, anyone who cannot match the qualification printed on the FPSC website for the post they want, since the advertisement gives no shortcut around it. Second, candidates who already applied for the re-advertised Professor post at PIMS, because the advertisement says they need not apply again.
Chief Psychologist at the commission itself is different from the rest, because it is a contract post for one year, extendable for one further year. The other rows carry no contract note, so treat them as regular posts and confirm the terms on the FPSC website.
How to apply in steps
The advertisement directs candidates to apply online, and the steps below follow that route in order.
- To begin with, open the FPSC website and find Consolidated Advertisement (Phase-4/2026).
- After that, open the per-post details for the post you want and check the qualification and experience.
- Then confirm that your domicile matches the quota shown for that post in the table above.
- Next, keep a valid and active email address ready, because the commission will contact you by email and SMS only.
- Finally, submit the online application before Monday 23 November 2026.
The advertisement names no fee and no test date, so do not look for either in the newspaper text. Both points, if they apply to your post, sit with the per-post details on the FPSC website.
Common mistakes to avoid
- First, applying with an email address you no longer check, because the commission contacts candidates by email and SMS only.
- Second, picking a post without checking its domicile and quota, since many rows are tied to one province or region.
- Third, guessing the qualification from a blog or a social media post, because the advertisement says the real details are on the FPSC website.
- Fourth, applying again for the re-advertised Professor post at PIMS when you already applied in August.
- Finally, waiting until the last day, because the online form closes on Monday 23 November 2026 and late applications are not part of this round.
A quick check of the domicile column against your own domicile catches most of these, so run through it once more before you submit.
