So yesterday, I was having lunch with my cousin who graduated with a CS degree two years ago. He's been working at a private software house in Lahore, and honestly, he looked exhausted. "Bhai, I'm working 60 hours a week, they pay okay, but there's zero job security, and last month they laid off five people without warning," he vented between bites of biryani.
I felt for him because this is the reality for so many IT professionals in Pakistan – endless hours, constant pressure, and always that fear of sudden layoffs. So this morning, when I saw fresh PPSC postings, the first person I thought of was him.
PPSC just announced multiple positions: Program Officer IT, Legal Officer, Audit Officer, and Junior Computer Operator. These aren't startup jobs with fancy perks but uncertain futures. These are solid government positions with actual stability.
Deadline is December 22, 2025 – about three weeks to get applications sorted.
I've already forwarded the details to my cousin, and now I'm writing this for everyone else who's tired of the private sector grind and wants something more stable.

Quick FAQs
"I have the 3rd division. Can I apply?" No. All positions need a minimum of a 2nd division. Don't waste your fee.
"I'm a CS graduate with no experience. Eligible for an IT position?" Yes! Experience not required for Program Officer IT.
"My company isn't SECP registered. Will experience count for Audit Officer?" No. They specifically want SECP or regulatory authority registration.
"Can I apply for both IT and Legal Officer?" Only if you have qualifications for both. But honestly, why would you?
My Cousin's Decision
After explaining everything, my cousin is now preparing his application for Program Officer IT. He meets all requirements – BS CS, age 28, Lahore-based.
"The salary is less than what I make now," he admitted, "but I'll work fixed hours, get weekends off, and not worry about layoffs. That peace of mind is worth something."
That's the right perspective.
Deadline: December 22, 2025 - three weeks away.
