SPSC Online Apply 2026: Step-by-Step Guide, Fee and Account

The Sindh Public Service Commission hires for Sindh government posts. You apply online only. You create an account, upload your documents first, and only then apply for a post. SPSC changed this order in 2026, and candidates who skip the document step cannot apply at all.

This guide covers the whole process in one place. It explains the account, the new Document Management System, the fee, the application steps, the fields that lock after the closing date, the age rules and the CCE reforms. It also explains how SPSC differs from the other commissions.

SPSC at a Glance#

Only Sindh domicile holders can apply. Manual applications are rejected. The portal stays open round the clock, except on the closing day, when it shuts at 5:00 PM.

Create Your SPSC Account in Pakistan#

Register on spsc.gov.pk or the official SPSC mobile app. You register with your CNIC number, an active mobile number and an email address. Complete your profile: CNIC number, date of birth, domicile, PRC, qualification and experience.

Your CNIC number and date of birth must be exactly right. An incorrect CNIC or a wrong date of birth leads to rejection. Your domicile and quota cannot be changed once the closing date passes. Enter them with care the first time.

Upload Documents First: The New System#

SPSC launched an Integrated Document Management System in its Candidate Portal in August 2026. It changed the order of applying. You must upload your documents before you can apply for any post.

Log in to the Candidate Portal. Open the Document Management Section. Upload clear and readable scanned copies of the required documents. Only after you upload the mandatory documents do you reach the regular dashboard, where you update your biodata and apply for advertised posts.

Upload your CNIC, photograph, academic certificates and transcripts, domicile certificate, PRC Form-D, and any other required documents, wherever they apply to you. All required documents must be obtained and uploaded on or before the closing date.

You may add, replace or update your uploaded documents until the closing date. After the closing date, the documents submitted against that advertisement are locked. SPSC advises all candidates to log in and complete their document profiles at the earliest, not on the last day.

The Fee: Rs 500 per Post#

The application fee is Rs 500 per post. You generate a PSID on the portal and pay it through any online payment channel using the 1Bill invoice or service option. The Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) fee is Rs 1,000.

One challan covers all categories of one post. Applying for two different posts means two applications and two fees. The old TR-6 challan, a bank draft, a pay order and a cheque are not accepted. Our PSID guide explains how PSID and 1Bill payments work across all the commissions.

How to Apply Online for SPSC in Pakistan: Step by Step#

Step 1. Register on spsc.gov.pk or the SPSC app with your CNIC, mobile number and email.

Step 2. Complete the Document Management Section. Upload clear, readable scans of your CNIC, photograph, academic certificates and transcripts, domicile certificate and PRC Form-D.

Step 3. Complete your profile: personal information, qualifications and experience. Select your advertisement and post from Available Jobs.

Step 4. Generate the PSID and pay the Rs 500 fee through any online payment channel using the 1Bill invoice or service option.

Step 5. Review your application and documents carefully. The details you enter cannot be changed later.

Step 6. Submit before 5:00 PM on the closing date. Save or print the submitted form. Choose your exam centre with care.

Our FPSC online apply guide, our PPSC online apply guide and our KPPSC online apply guide explain the other three commissions. The SPSC jobs page lists the current SPSC vacancies on joblo.pk.

SPSC vs the Other Commissions#

Each commission runs its own portal, and the differences trip up candidates who have used another one. KPPSC gives you one permanent account and a 1Bill ID built from your CNIC that never changes. FPSC and PPSC have no permanent account: you build a profile during each application and get a new PSID every time (16 digits at FPSC, 17 at PPSC).

SPSC is the only one that makes you upload documents before you can apply at all. FPSC and PPSC ask for documents later, at scrutiny. KPPSC asks for none at submission either. So if you come from KPPSC or PPSC, do not assume you can apply first and upload later. At SPSC the document step comes first.

The fees differ too. SPSC charges a flat Rs 500 per post (Rs 1,000 for CCE). KPPSC charges Rs 500 for General Recruitment and Rs 1,500 for PMS. PPSC charges Rs 600 for a one-paper post and Rs 1,000 for a competitive post. FPSC charges Rs 600 to Rs 3,000 by grade. All four now take PSID or 1Bill payment. None of them takes the old paper challan any more.

What Locks After the Closing Date#

Once the closing date passes, these are fixed: your domicile, PRC Form-D, rural or urban quota, age, qualification, experience and exam centre. Your uploaded documents are locked too. Nothing in them can be changed after the closing date.

Government servants must apply through the proper channel. An application without the proper channel can be rejected at scrutiny.

Age Limit and the CCE Reforms#

The age limit varies by post. Advertisement 05/2026 shows 28 to 35 years for Deputy Director IT, 21 to 28 for Assistant Director IT and Medical Officer, 18 to 30 for Information Officer and 21 to 31 for Assistant. Read the age limit in your own advertisement.

General age relaxation applies under the Sindh government notification of 6 March 2025, except for police posts and posts filled through the combined competitive exam.

The Sindh Cabinet approved major CCE reforms on 20 October 2026. The maximum age for the Combined Competitive Examination rises from 30 to 33 years. The permitted attempts rise from 3 to 5. The minimum qualifying threshold for CCE 2026 falls from 40 per cent to 33 per cent. Computerised testing is introduced for examinations with a single paper. Follow the official SPSC notifications for the implementation details and the revised examination rules.

The CCE 2026 screening test is rescheduled to Saturday 28 November 2026. The pass mark is 33 per cent with negative marking of 0.25 per wrong answer. The age limit is up to 33 years as of 11 November 2026. Candidates have until 11 November 2026 to update their profile data, exam centres (Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana) and subject selections.

After You Apply#

Your call letter appears in your SPSC portal account and on spsc.gov.pk. Check the portal regularly after the closing date. Do not wait for a letter by post.

The usual order is: screening or ability test, then written test, then interview. SPSC has announced computerised testing for single-paper examinations, so some tests now run on computer instead of paper. Interview call letters come through the portal. Results are published on spsc.gov.pk, post by post.

Recent advertisements show the scale of SPSC hiring. Advertisement 05/2026 offered 54 posts across five departments, including 32 Medical Officers and 10 Assistants, and closed on 23 October 2026. Advertisement 02/2026 offered Assistant Engineer posts in BPS-17 and closed on 10 April 2026. Check spsc.gov.pk for the advertisement that is open now.

Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected#

Skipping the document upload. You cannot reach the dashboard or apply for a post until the mandatory documents are uploaded. Do it first, not last.

Wrong CNIC or date of birth. An incorrect CNIC number or a wrong date of birth leads to rejection. Check both against your CNIC card before you submit.

Wrong domicile or quota. Domicile, PRC Form-D and rural or urban quota are fixed once the closing date passes. A wrong choice cannot be corrected.

One fee for two posts. Each post needs its own application and its own Rs 500 fee. One challan covers all categories of one post only.

Paying by the old challan. The TR-6 challan, bank draft, pay order and cheque are not accepted. Generate a PSID and pay through 1Bill.

Missing the 5:00 PM deadline. The portal shuts at 5:00 PM on the closing day. Submit in the first week, not the last evening.
