Never pay an agent. PPSC applications are made only by you on ppsc.gop.pk, and the only fee is the PSID amount paid to the government channel. Anyone selling "PPSC seats", papers or interview results is a fraud. Apply only on the official site: ppsc.gop.pk.
Who can apply
- Eligibility is set post by post in each advertisement: education, experience, age limit, gender and domicile or zone.
- Read the advertisement and PPSC's "Important Instructions" (Facilitation Desk on the homepage) before applying — the form asks you to confirm you have.
- Age relaxation rules are in those instructions and the advert; check them there rather than relying on anyone's summary.
Documents to keep ready
- Your CNIC number, a working email address and mobile number (both are verified).
- A recent photograph and the front of your CNIC as images — each under 25 KB.
- Your qualification details (degrees, boards, marks, years) and service record if you are employed.
- Originals and copies of all certificates for later stages; PPSC calls for them when needed.
Step by step
- Choose the post. On ppsc.gop.pk click "Apply Online", select the post from the advertisement and click "Proceed".
- Read and accept. Read "Important Instructions" and the "EPay User Manual", tick the undertaking and click "Apply Online".
- Screen 1 – Personal Profile. Enter your CNIC, then your email and mobile and press "Verify". Fill your personal details, click "Save Information", then "Proceed".
- Screen 2 – Fee Payment. The system generates a PSID (a 17-digit EPay Punjab number) for this post. Pay it through ATM, mobile or internet banking, a 1Link member bank, JazzCash, Easypaisa or UPaisa, then click "Next".
- Screens 3 to 5. Upload your photograph and CNIC image, enter your qualifications, then your service record if any.
- Screen 6 – Submit. Click "Submit Application" and tick the undertaking. You receive an Application Number on screen and a Token Number by email and SMS — keep the token: you need it to edit or print.
Fees
Fees (as of 21 October 2026): Rs 1,000 for a competitive examination and Rs 600 for a one-paper MCQ test, per PPSC's FAQ. Disabled candidates and PPSC employees are exempt. Fees are non-refundable, and one PSID covers one post only. Paying the fee does not submit your application — you must finish all six screens.
Common mistakes
Our advice, from how these applications usually go wrong:
- Paying the PSID and stopping there — PPSC says fee payment does not mean your application is submitted.
- Using one PSID for two posts; each post needs its own.
- Uploading a photo or CNIC image over 25 KB, so the form will not save. Use our photo resizer to bring it under the limit.
- Losing the Token Number, then being unable to edit or print the application.
- Applying through "PPSC job" pages on social media — PPSC itself warns about fraudulent websites and pages.
Deadlines
- Each advertisement has its own closing date; the fee and all six screens must be done before it.
- PPSC usually publishes several consolidated advertisements a year — check the homepage and its "Beware of Fraudulent Websites" notice before trusting any other source.
