The Punjab Public Service Commission has announced 299 vacancies across seven provincial departments under Advertisement No. 11/2026, and the new PPSC jobs 2026 notification gives doctors the largest share with 107 senior registrar posts. The advertisement, published in newspapers on October 9, 2026, includes 107 senior registrar vacancies in teaching hospitals, alongside posts for veterinary officers, intelligence officers, sports officers, engineers and accounts staff.
Applications must be submitted online through the commission’s website by October 26, 2026. The PPSC jobs 2026 advertisement sets different age limits, qualifications and contract terms for each post, so candidates need to read the case-wise details before applying.
107 senior registrar posts anchor the PPSC jobs 2026 advertisement
The biggest block of posts sits with the Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department. It needs 107 senior registrars in BS-18 for teaching hospitals across Punjab, all on three-year contracts that can be extended on performance.
The specialty-wise breakup shows where the demand lies. Medicine takes 53 posts, surgery takes 41, cardiac anaesthesia gets seven, while paediatric ophthalmology and paediatric cardiology get three each.
Applicants must hold an MBBS or an equivalent recognised medical qualification, plus the postgraduate specialization for their field. Accepted qualifications vary by specialty and may include FCPS, MS, MD, FRCS, MRCP or other recognised equivalents. Professional registration and relevant experience are also required.
The advertisement also keeps alternative eligibility routes for some specialties, so candidates with related qualifications can apply where the preferred qualification is unavailable. TechJuice reports that applications for these doctor posts close on October 26. Age limits and relaxations differ for men and women, and reserved quotas apply in several categories.

How to apply for PPSC Advertisement 11/2026
Candidates must apply online only at ppsc.gop.pk. The fee has to be paid through the approved online channels listed on the commission’s website. The advertisement does not print a single fee figure, so applicants should follow the current instructions for their selected case.
Before applying, read the full important instructions on the PPSC website for your case number. Eligibility, age limits and written-test syllabi differ for each post, and a single rule does not cover all 299 vacancies.
The commission’s helpline can be reached at UAN 042-111-988-722 for queries. The commission’s office is at LDA Plaza, 7-Edgerton Road, Lahore.
For context, Punjab recently advertised assistant director posts with salaries up to Rs120,000, and the Punjab education sector continues to face staffing pressure, which explains why teaching hospitals are hiring senior registrars in bulk. Doctors should also confirm that their qualifications come from HEC-recognised institutions before they apply.
