The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) published Advertisement No. 11/2026 in newspapers on 9 October 2026. Page 1 lists 12 posts with 259 vacancies across six Punjab government departments.
Applicants apply online through the PPSC website. Media outlets report 26 October 2026 as the closing date. Page 1 does not print it, and we could not confirm it on PPSC’s own site.
Media outlets also report 40 Veterinary Officer posts on page 2, which would bring the total to 299. Treat those details as unverified.
Two things to verify: the 26 October closing date and the 40 Veterinary Officer posts on page 2 both come from media reports, not from PPSC’s printed page 1. Check both on the PPSC website before you apply.
