Registration and experience rules
These rules are printed under Senior Registrar Medicine and apply to all five posts:
- Your PMDC/PMC registration showing the required qualifications must be valid up to the closing date. If it has expired, you need proof that you applied for renewal on or before 26 October 2026.
- Only practical experience after the prescribed qualification counts, on a certificate from the appointing authority, PMDC or PMC that shows designation, pay scale, field, nature and duration. It must be backed by an appointment letter, notification or office order.
- Government contract, current charge, acting charge and ad hoc experience counts only if issued by the appointing or competent authority, PMDC or PMC.

Pay scale and job type
All five posts are in BS-18 and are filled on contract for 3 years, extendable on good performance. The advertisement gives no monthly salary figure, so be careful with salary numbers on job blogs. Because the posting can be at any listed teaching hospital in Punjab, be ready to work outside your home city.

Advertisement 11/2026 does not print a hard-copy requirement for these posts, unlike the September round. Still, read the post details on the Jobs page before you submit, in case PPSC asks for documents by post. Our PPSC online apply guide explains each part of the form.
Documents you need
PPSC checks original documents at the interview. Keep these ready:
- Valid CNIC

Application fee
The PPSC Jobs page shows Rs 600 for each of the five cases. The fee is per post, so applying for two posts means paying twice. Pay the PSID under the GoPb biller through an ATM, mobile or internet banking, the counter of a 1Link member bank branch, JazzCash, Easypaisa, UPaisa or another micro-finance bank, as the ad lists. PPSC’s instructions exempt specially abled candidates and do not refund the fee.
Selection process
- PPSC runs the whole selection. The ad prints no test syllabus for these SH&ME posts, and says test schedules and syllabus, if any, will be issued only on the PPSC website.
- PPSC’s instructions shortlist candidates for interview on academic record and/or a written test. In MCQ tests, 0.25 marks are cut for each wrong answer and 40% is needed to qualify.
- At the interview, PPSC checks your originals in detail, and you need 50% to pass.
- If the department changes the number of posts later, PPSC will not invite fresh applications.

Beware of fake job offers
No agent, doctor or official can get you selected. PPSC chooses on qualifications, test and interview marks. The ad itself says that no information shared by anyone other than the PPSC website is authentic. Pay only the Rs 600 fee against your own PSID, never send money to a person, and report fraud on the Pakistan Citizen’s Portal.
Test and interview dates for senior registrar jobs October 2026 will appear only on ppsc.gop.pk, so check it often after 26 October. For other openings, browse the Punjab government jobs list, and read our Punjab Jobs Portal guide.
