Let me share with you what happened last night. I was having my evening tea, and I got a call from my friend Dr Aasim, who has been an Assistant Professor of Urology for the past 9 years till now at a teaching hospital. As he knows I do write job postings ona regular basis, he said it to me. I have been waiting for a Professor position to open up for a long time. I could feel the nervousness in his tone. He mentioned, I have all the required experience, even though I published papers and everything. But these positions are not easy to find, and they are so rare, and I am afraid that due to some reasons I might miss the announcement.
After listening to him, I promised him I would keep an eye out. And guess what? This morning, while I went to the PPSC official page for the latest opening positions, I was surprised, there it was, a Professor of Urology opening. Without a single minute delay, I called him and explained to him about the opening. After the information, his reaction made my entire day.
But that's not all. PPSC also announced Senior Registrar Paediatric Pulmonology and Assistant positions - totally different fields, different requirements, but equally important opportunities for people at different career stages.
The deadline is January 6, 2026 - we actually have more than two weeks this time, which is decent for gathering documents and preparing proper applications.
Let me walk you through these three positions because each one serves a different audience, and I want to make sure the right information reaches the right people.

Position 1: Professor of Urology (2 Posts - BS-20!)
This is the senior-most position, and honestly, if you're reading this and you're a urologist with years of teaching experience, pay very close attention.
What Makes This Special
BS-20 is the top academic scale. You're not just another professor – you're at the pinnacle of academic medicine. You'll be:
- Leading the urology department
- Training residents and fellows
- Conducting and supervising research
- Making policy decisions for the department
- Representing your institution at national/international forums
My friend Dr Aasim has been working toward this for 9 years. Every paper he published, every lecture he gave, every resident he trained – all building toward this moment.

What You'll Do
Working in teaching hospitals dealing with:
- Pediatric asthma and respiratory infections

Position 3: Assistant at PPSC Office (2 Posts - Completely Different!)
This is entirely different from medical positions. This is administrative work at PPSC's own office – the people who conduct all these exams and interviews.
What You'll Do
Working at PPSC headquarters or regional offices:
- Managing files and official correspondence
- Computer-based documentation
- Supporting exam administration
- Record maintenance
- Office coordination
Here's what nobody tells you: Working at PPSC means you're at the heart of Punjab's recruitment system. You'll see how the entire government hiring process works from the inside.
Requirements - Much Simpler
Education:
- Bachelor's degree (any field) with 2nd division
- That's 14 years of education minimum
Technical Skills:
- Typing speed: 35 w.p.m. in English on computer
- MS Office proficiency (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
Age:
- Males: Up to 30 years
- Females: Up to 33 years
Location: PPSC Lahore headquarters and regional offices
Important: They'll call candidates at a 1:20 ratio for practical tests. So if there are 100 applicants, only the top 5 from the written test get typing/MS Office tests.
Why This Job is Actually Good
Starting fresh after a bachelor's? This is solid:
- BS-16 is decent for administrative work (Rs. 38,000-48,000 with allowances)
- You're working for PPSC itself – that's job security
- Learn the entire recruitment system
- Fixed office hours

My Friend's Story
Dr Aasim is now preparing his application for Professor of Urology. He has 9 years as an Assistant Professor and 6 published papers in international journals.
