Where to Check Daily
fpsc.gov.pk (consolidated ads), cda.gov.pk/jobs, ministry websites, and the national dailies (Jang, Dawn, Express) where most ads legally must appear. Bookmark all four; check every morning.
Application Tips
Keep scanned documents ready (CNIC, degrees, domicile, photo <30KB), note your PSID and Tracking ID for every application, and apply under the quota where you're strongest. Government employees: get your DPC/NOC first.
