University of Sahiwal Jobs 2026 – Apply Before 24 November 2026

University of Sahiwal Jobs 2026 are open for eight contract posts, and the university is hiring in two clear groups: four university positions in engineering and information technology, and four project positions in project management, engineering, accounts and computer operations. The University of Sahiwal, a public-sector university of the Government of Punjab, has invited applications from Pakistani nationals under Advertisement No. ADMIN-02-2026, published in the Daily Express on 1 November 2026 (IPL-11599). The last date to submit applications is 24 November 2026, during office hours.

Unlike most government rounds that run through an online portal, this one is an offline application. Candidates must download the prescribed application form from the university website, fill it in, attach attested documents and the fee payment, and send it by hand or courier to the Office of the Registrar, University of Sahiwal, so that it reaches before the closing time. Applications received after the deadline will not be entertained, even if they were posted before the closing date, so candidates outside Sahiwal should dispatch their applications several days early. All eight appointments are on contract for an initial one year, with possible extension on satisfactory performance.

Job Details

The University of Sahiwal is a public-sector higher education institution in Punjab, and like every university it needs professionals behind the teaching departments: engineers to look after its buildings and infrastructure, network administrators to run its IT systems, accountants to manage project finances, and project staff to run its development work. This advertisement covers exactly those non-teaching functions. The four university posts are the permanent side of the university’s own establishment, hired on contract, while the four project posts are tied to development projects and carry project pay scales (PPS) instead of basic pay scales (BPS).

The senior post in this round is the University Engineer at BPS-19, a post that needs a civil engineering degree and ten years of practical experience. At the other end, the Computer Operator post needs a bachelor’s degree and one year of experience as a computer operator or document controller. Between them sit the Assistant Engineer, the Assistant Programmer / Network Administrator, the Sub-Engineer, the Project Director, the Project Engineer and the Accountant. Each post carries its own fee, from Rs. 500 for the junior posts to Rs. 2,000 for the Project Director, and the fee is non-refundable.
