PPSC New Advertisements — When Are They Expected?
So far in 2026, up until approximately 20 May, only 5 PPSC advertisements have been issued in total. To put that in perspective, in previous years PPSC would typically release around 20 to 25 advertisements by the month of May alone.
The expected timeline for new advertisements is as follows:
- New PPSC advertisements are expected to begin arriving before 15 June 2026.
- After Eid, the budget session is scheduled around the 4th or 5th of June. Job advertisements are expected to start coming in shortly after that.
- Once the advertisements begin, they are expected to come in quickly — two to three per week.
- PPSC has had a relatively slow period of about two months. After this rest, the pace of advertisements and tests is expected to pick up considerably.
The advice for all students is: do not slow down your preparation. Keep studying consistently so that when the advertisements arrive, you are ready.
Assistant Punjab Police — Paper Schedule (Old Case)
PPSC has scheduled the Assistant Punjab Police paper for 20 and 21 June 2026. This is an old case — the paper was previously planned but had to be rescheduled.
Key details:
- Total seats: 48 (Punjab-wide)
- Total applicants: Approximately 57,000 to 58,000 originally applied
- Expected appearance: Around 30,000 to 35,000 candidates are expected to actually appear, as many previous applicants have since secured employment elsewhere or are no longer interested.
- Important: All candidates who originally applied will be allowed to sit the paper — whether they appeared in the previous attempt or not. It does not matter whether a candidate gave the paper last time or missed it; all registered applicants will get the chance.
Recommended preparation material:
- One-liner book: Irade One Liner
- Model papers: BPSC Imtiaz Shahid Model Papers
If you fully prepare using these resources, passing this paper is achievable.
An additional advantage of this paper is that academic marks are not included in the merit. Merit is based solely on the written test score and the interview score. This means strong preparation directly translates into selection.
Roll Number Slips — Papers on 6 and 7 June 2026
PPSC is conducting papers on 6 and 7 June 2026. Roll number slips for these papers have already started arriving via email.
The papers scheduled under Club ID 184 on 6 June 2026 at 10:00 AM include:
- Municipal Officer Finance
- Senior Auditor
- Assistant Budget Accounts
- Assistant Director Audit
What is Club ID? Club ID means that posts with the same syllabus will have a single combined paper. If you applied for two different posts that fall under the same Club ID, you will sit one paper and the marks from that paper will be applied to both posts. For example, if you score 70 marks, those 70 marks will be counted for both posts where you applied.
Roll number slips for the 6 and 7 June papers will be uploaded the day before. After the upload, there will be a holiday, followed by the Eid break, and then the papers will take place on 6 and 7 June directly.

Naib Tehsildar Jobs — Syllabus and Preparation Guide
The Naib Tehsildar advertisement is expected to arrive in July 2026. Here is what you need to know:
Age Limits:
- Male: up to 33 years
- Female: up to 36 years
Job Type: Both Open Merit and Ministerial Quota seats are included. Revised data from all divisional offices has been sent to the PPSC headquarters in Lahore. A regulation will be finalized and sent to PPSC collectively.
Syllabus Guidance:
The previous Naib Tehsildar paper included:
- English MCQs
- General Knowledge MCQs
- Revenue Law MCQs
The upcoming paper may have two or three papers in this format. Until the syllabus is officially confirmed, the recommended strategy is:
- Focus strongly on General Knowledge — this is a guaranteed part of any PPSC exam and will not change regardless of syllabus variation.
- Strengthen your English skills alongside General Knowledge.
- When the official syllabus is confirmed, add Revenue Law to your preparation.
PPSC Test Results Announced Today
PPSC has announced the following test results today:
- Stenographer
- Statistical Officer

Final Recommendations also issued today for:

Merit Predictions — Enforcement Officer, Audit Officer, Municipal Officer & Chief Officer
Merit predictions were shared at the time of the closing date for these posts. Here is a summary:
| Post | Predicted Merit Range |
|---|---|
| Enforcement Officer (Open Merit) | 42 to 46 |
| Audit Officer (Women) | 40 to 43 |
| Audit Officer (General) | 47 to 50 |
| Audit Officer (Women, revised) | 48 |
| Chief Officer / Municipal Officer | 48 to 51 |
| Finance Officer | 54 to 57 |
Updated note on Chief Officer / Municipal Officer: The predicted merit for Chief Officer / Municipal Officer was stated as up to 120. The actual merit has come in at 114.5. The DMC (Detail Marks Certificate) for all seats in this post has been issued. Candidates can check their own DMC to see their result.
Key advice for upcoming papers:
- Unemployment is high and competition is intense. Candidates are putting in more effort every day.
- The number of applicants is large — for example, Enforcement Officer alone had around 12,000 applicants, with approximately 5,000 appearing on fees paid.
- If you want to be recommended, set your target at 70 marks or above in the written test.
- Those with clear concepts and full MCQ preparation are in the best position to be shortlisted.
- Merit figures should be revised slightly upward from earlier predictions, given the additional preparation time candidates have had.
Deputy Accountant Jobs Update
A new advertisement for Deputy Accountant is also expected. A previous Deputy Accountant advertisement had a large number of vacancies. When the new advertisement arrives, it is expected to include those positions as well.
Important Tips
- Do not slow down. PPSC advertisements are expected before 15 June 2026. Keep your preparation consistent.
- For Assistant Punjab Police: Use Irade One Liner and BPSC Imtiaz Shahid Model Papers as your core preparation material. Academic marks do not count — only the written test and interview matter.
- For Club ID papers: If you applied for multiple posts under the same Club ID, you only need to sit one paper. Your score will be applied to all posts you applied for.
- For Naib Tehsildar: General Knowledge and English are safe to start with right now. Revenue Law should be added once the official syllabus is confirmed.
- Merit target: Aim for 70 marks or above to have a realistic chance of recommendation in competitive posts like Enforcement Officer, Audit Officer, and Finance Officer.
- Check your DMC: If you appeared in the Chief Officer or Municipal Officer paper, check your DMC on the PPSC website now.
