The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission hires for provincial government posts. You apply online only. You create one permanent account, pay the fee through 1Bill, and apply for each post from inside your account.
This guide covers the whole process in one place. It explains the account, the fee, the 1Bill ID, the application steps, the documents, the age rules and the roll number slip. It also explains how KPPSC differs from FPSC and PPSC, because the differences are where most candidates make mistakes.
KPPSC at a Glance#
| Item | Detail |

The Permanent Account: KPPSC’s Big Difference#
KPPSC works differently from FPSC and PPSC. FPSC and PPSC have no permanent account. You build a profile during each application and get a new PSID every time. KPPSC has one permanent account that you create once and reuse for every post.
Create the account at kppsc.gov.pk through the Online Apply link, or directly at the portal. You register with your name, CNIC number, email and district of domicile. Your name and domicile cannot be edited later. Choose them carefully. A wrong name or domicile in the account follows you into every application.
Inside the portal your profile has seven parts: Complete Your Profile, Add Education, Add Experience (plus Research and Publication, Deputation and Leave where they apply), Add Picture, PMS Optional Paper (PMS only), Apply for Post, and My Applications and e-Receipts. Complete the profile once. Then every application is just selecting a post.
Our FPSC online apply guide and our PPSC online apply guide explain the other two commissions. The KPPSC jobs page lists the current KPPSC vacancies on joblo.pk.
The Fee: Rs 500 or Rs 1,500#
KPPSC has two fee categories. General Recruitment costs Rs 500 excluding service charges, Rs 540 including them. PMS (Provincial Management Service) costs Rs 1,500 excluding service charges, Rs 1,540 including them. The fee is not refundable. There is no refund if you miss the date.
You pay through 1Bill in any banking app (NBP, UBL, HBL, ABL, MCB, Meezan, Alfalah, BoK, BoP, NayaPay) or microfinance app (Easypaisa, JazzCash, Upaisa). Open Bill Payment, choose 1Bill Invoice or Voucher, enter your 1Bill ID, verify the name and amount, press Pay, and save the receipt. Our PSID guide explains how 1Bill and PSID payments work across all the commissions.
Your 1Bill ID is built from your own CNIC. Take a fixed prefix and add your 13-digit CNIC without dashes. The ID is unique to you. It stays the same forever. You reuse it for every post.
| Category | Fee | 1Bill prefix | Example (CNIC 1730112345678) |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Recruitment | Rs 500 (Rs 540 with charges) | 1110991402 | 11109914021730112345678 |
| PMS | Rs 1,500 (Rs 1,540 with charges) | 1110991401 | 11109914011730112345678 |
Do not mix the prefixes up. The General Recruitment prefix is 1110991402. The PMS prefix is 1110991401. One search snippet quoted the PMS prefix next to the General Recruitment heading. The official KPPSC instruction sheet puts 1110991402 on General Recruitment and 1110991401 on PMS. Pay on your own CNIC only. A fee deposited on someone else’s CNIC will NOT be verified.
Ignore old advice about paying through a JazzCash or Easypaisa agent and keeping an SMS transaction ID. That was the old method. The current method is 1Bill in a banking or microfinance app. The Rs 285 fee is stale. And note the lookalike domain kppsc.com.pk. The official site is kppsc.gov.pk only.
How to Apply Online: Step by Step#
Step 1. Open kppsc.gov.pk and click Online Apply. Create your account with your name, CNIC, email and district of domicile. Verify it by OTP.
Step 2. Complete your profile: personal details, education, experience and a picture. Get your Zonal Allocation right. It fixes your quota.
Step 3. Pay the fee through 1Bill with your permanent 1Bill ID. The fee is verified in the system before you can apply.
Step 4. Log in, select the advertisement and the post, and fill the application form. One application per serial number. If you apply under more than one quota, mention both the serial and sub-serial numbers.
Step 5. Print or download the Application Form Preview and check every field. Correct anything wrong in the online form first. Information claimed in the online application form will be treated as final. Your name and domicile cannot be changed at all after account creation.
Step 6. Submit before 5:00 PM on the closing date. No application is accepted after that time under any circumstance. Print the confirmation slip for your record. Do not send hard copies to KPPSC.
Documents You Need#
Documents are NOT required at the time of submission. You submit them when the Commission asks. After the written test, qualified candidates must submit attested copies of their original degrees and certificates within 15 days of the result announcement. Miss that window and you are rejected.
Government servants need a Departmental Permission Certificate (DPC) from the competent authority. Your date of birth is the one endorsed on your Matric certificate. Keep your CNIC, domicile, Matric certificate and degrees ready before you start the form.
Age Limit and Relaxation#
The age limit varies by post. Most posts are 21 to 30 years. Recent advertisements show 21 to 32, 21 to 35, 22 to 32, 20 to 32 and 30 to 45 for different posts. Read the age limit in your own advertisement. Age is reckoned as the advertisement says, usually on 1 January of the advertisement year or on the closing date.
Relaxation follows the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government rules. Disabled persons, widows, divorced women and government servants with 2 or more years of service get up to 10 years. Minorities get 5 years automatic relaxation. Backward areas get up to 3 years automatic relaxation. Overage candidates must obtain their relaxation orders before the interview schedule.
How to Check Your KPPSC Roll Number Slip#
KPPSC calls the roll number slip an E-Letter or Call Letter for Ability Test. It is uploaded on kppsc.gov.pk about 15 days before the exam, post by post. No slip is sent by post.
Step 1. Open kppsc.gov.pk. Go to Print E-Letter under the letters printing section.
Step 2. Enter your CNIC without dashes. Select your post from the drop-down menu.
Step 3. Click Print Admission Letter. Download and print the E-Letter.
Bring the printed E-Letter and your original CNIC to the test centre. Without the printed letter and the original CNIC you will not be let in. Also bring a black or blue ball point and a paper board.
Leave these at home:
- Phone
- Gadgets
- Weapons
- Bags
- Written material
Confirm your roll number and test centre one day before the date of the test.
If no call letter, SMS or email reaches you, confirm your status in person or on 091-9214131, 091-9213750 or 091-9213563 (extensions 105 and 113). For online queries the extension is 105, and the email is online@kppsc.gov.pk. KPPSC also publishes a How to Apply Online video tutorial on its homepage.
Our roll number slip by CNIC guide explains the slip routes for every testing body, including the ones that work differently from KPPSC.
After You Apply#
KPPSC now runs computer-based ability tests (CBT). The revised CBT schedule runs from 17 to 28 November 2026, with morning papers starting at 10:00 am. The Assistant Public Prosecutor test is on Saturday 28 November in three sessions. The call letter for a CBT is under E-Letters, then CBT E Letters, on kppsc.gov.pk.
The usual order is: ability test, then written test, then interview. Interview call letters come through the KPPSC website, and sometimes by SMS. Schedules are announced separately after the result declaration.
Recent advertisements show the scale of KPPSC hiring. Advertisement 01/2026 offered 35 PMS posts. Advertisement 03/2026 offered 105 Civil Judge posts. Advertisement 05/2026 offered more than 1,200 vacancies. Advertisement 07/2026 offered Assistant Sub Inspector Police posts in BPS-11. Check kppsc.gov.pk for the advertisement that is open now.
Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected#
Wrong name or domicile in the account. Neither can be edited later. A wrong domicile can void every application you make.
Mixing up the 1Bill prefixes. General Recruitment is 1110991402. PMS is 1110991401. Paying the wrong prefix means your fee is not verified for your post.
Paying on someone else’s CNIC. The fee will not be verified. Pay only on your own CNIC.
Submitting without previewing. The submitted form is treated as final. Print the preview and check every field first.
Missing the 5:00 PM deadline. KPPSC accepts no application after the closing time under any circumstance. Submit in the first week, not the last evening.
One fee for two advertisements. Each advertisement needs a separate application and a separate fee payment. A fee paid for one advertisement does not cover another.
