Is any Punjab Police job open right now?
As of 9 November 2026, this post lists no open advertisement, so check the sources in the "Official links" section before acting on any post you see. Here is what the recent rounds looked like:
- Intelligence Officer, Special Branch (closed). The Pakistan Connect reported on 10 October 2026 that PPSC Advertisement No. 11/2026 offered 30 two-year contract posts, and its 26 October report called that day the last date to apply. ProPakistani also carried the announcement on 9 October. Treat the details as reported and confirm them in the PPSC advertisement.
- Constables (approved, district-wise). The Punjab Cabinet approved recruiting 5,960 constables, according to an official Punjab Police release of 12 February 2025, also reported by ProPakistani. The department's own recruitment page describes a province-wide quota of 6,000 constable posts a year for five years, shared among districts.
- Sub Inspector (closed). Gulf News reported on 18 September 2025 that PPSC invited applications for more than 280 SI posts, with a deadline of 2 October 2025.
Fake-ad warning: a post saying "last date tomorrow, send your fee to this number" is not an official advertisement.
A three-step check for any new post: find the issuing body (Punjab Police, a district board or PPSC), find the same advertisement on that body's own website, then compare the last date and the application method. If the official website does not carry it, the post is not an advertisement you can rely on.
Who recruits for which post
| Post | Recruited by | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) | Federal Public Service Commission | Punjab Police recruitment page |
| Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) | Provincial Public Service Commission (PPSC) | Punjab Police recruitment page |
| Constable | District selection board chaired by a DIG | Punjab Police recruitment page |
| Clerical and ministerial posts | Contact the AIG Administration, Central Police Office | Punjab Police recruitment page |
As of 9 November 2026. The source page is undated, so the recruiter named in a new advertisement is the final word.
For constables, the page says candidates sit a district-level competitive exam covering English, Urdu and General Knowledge, and must meet the prescribed physical fitness, physical measurement and matriculation standards. It also says 5% of constable positions are reserved for women and minority candidates.
How to apply
PPSC posts (ASI, SI, Intelligence Officer): applications go online through the PPSC website. According to Gulf News, candidates for the 2025 SI round first paid the test fee through online or mobile banking, then completed the form. The steps are:
- Open the current advertisement on ppsc.gop.pk, typing the address yourself.
- Read the post, qualification, age and domicile conditions.
- Pay the fee through a channel listed in the advertisement.
- Fill in the form and submit it before the last date.
Constable posts: these run through district boards, so follow the instructions in your own district's advertisement.

Eligibility: what to check before you apply
- Constable: matriculation is the prerequisite on the department's recruitment page. Some job portals quote higher qualifications, so follow the advertisement for your district.
- SI and Intelligence Officer: Gulf News reported a second-division graduation and an age range of 20 to 25 for the 2025 SI round. The Pakistan Connect reported a second-division bachelor's degree and relaxations for the Intelligence Officer round. These change from round to round.
- Physical standards: constable selection includes physical measurement and fitness. The exact numbers are set in each advertisement, so do not rely on a figure from a social media post.
- Domicile and CNIC: PPSC advertisements state domicile conditions. Keep your Punjab domicile certificate ready, and check that your CNIC has not expired (see NADRA CNIC renewal).
Which route fits you?
| If you are... | Watch for |
|---|---|
| A matric pass who can meet the physical standards | Constable advertisements from your district |
| A graduate within the age limit | PPSC advertisements for ASI or SI |
| A graduate with law-enforcement intelligence experience | PPSC advertisements for Intelligence Officer |
| Living abroad | Nothing remote: the selection steps need you in Pakistan |
A quick scenario. Suppose you are 22, hold a matric certificate and live in Multan. Your route is not PPSC. You would wait for your district's constable advertisement, prepare for English, Urdu and General Knowledge, and get fit for the physical measurement. Meanwhile, collect your domicile certificate and a valid CNIC so you are not scrambling when the last date is only a few days away.

Mistakes that cost candidates their application
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Applying through a middleman or a forwarded link | Use only the PPSC website or your district's official page, typed by hand. |
| Missing the last date | Note it the day the advertisement appears and apply a few days early. |
| Paying the fee by an unlisted method | Pay only through a channel named in the advertisement. |
| Not meeting the stated standards | Read matriculation, measurement and fitness conditions before applying. |
| Expired CNIC or missing domicile | Renew or obtain these before the advertisement appears. |
Official links and how to spot a fake ad
- Punjab Police recruitment levels: who recruits for which post.
- Punjab Police jobs archive: earlier advertisements, useful to see what a genuine one contains.
- PPSC website: advertisements and online forms for ASI, SI and similar posts.
A genuine advertisement names the issuing body, the post, the last date, qualification, age and the fee channel. If it asks for cash, promises a seat for money, or arrives only as a WhatsApp image, walk away.
