The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) has announced recruitment for 22 posts of Emergency Officer (BS-17) in the Punjab Emergency Services Department (Rescue-1122), under Advertisement No. 07/2026, Case No. 02-RM/2026.
This is a contract appointment for three years, open to MBBS doctors and B.Sc Engineering graduates from ten specified disciplines. Unusually for a BS-17 officer post, no prior experience is required — but there is a physical and medical screening stage that you must clear before you are even allowed to sit the written test.

| Relaxation |
None — no relaxation in age or qualification (Army/Civil) |
Note the minimum ageUnlike most posts, this one has a minimum age of 24 as well as a maximum of 32. Candidates under 24 are not eligible.
Domicile

Only candidates declared medically and physically fit are allowed to proceed to the written test, psychological assessment and interview.

Required Documents
PPSC requires these original documents for eligibility and scrutiny:
✓Valid CNIC — must not be expired on the last day of applying online
✓Matriculation / O-Level certificate
✓Intermediate / A-Level certificate
✓MBBS or B.Sc Engineering degree in a prescribed discipline
✓DMCs / percentage certificate — required if your degree shows only CGPA
✓House job certificate (one year, PM&DC/PMC recognized) — MBBS only
✓PMDC/PMC registration — full permanent, MBBS only
✓PEC registration certificate — engineers only
✓Punjab domicile certificate — issued on or before closing date
✓Departmental Permission Certificate — government employees only
PPSC does not accept CGPAIf your degree shows only a CGPA and not a percentage, you must obtain a
percentage certificate from the Controller of Examination along with your DMCs. This catches out a large number of applicants every year — see our guide on
why government applications get rejected.
If a document is missing or lostPPSC has published FAQs and instructions covering alternatives where you do not hold or have lost your original domicile, percentage certificate or equivalence certificate. Check the Instructions section on the PPSC website rather than assuming you are disqualified.
