RAWALPINDI
The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) has shifted examination centres for the PMS 2025 competitive examinations from Rawalpindi to Lahore in view of the prevailing security situation in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The decision was taken at a committee meeting chaired by Member PPSC Mirza Sohail Amir, while Secretary PPSC Afzal Ahmed issued a formal notification in this regard. According to the notification, as many as 1,216 candidates from Rawalpindi Division will now appear in compulsory subject papers in Lahore.
The candidates include 754 men and 462 women. The examinations, earlier scheduled to be held from April 24 to April 26, 2026, were to take place at Government Gordon Graduate College, Liaquat Road, Rawalpindi and Government Associate College for Women, Jhanda Chichi.
However, due to the security situation, the centres have been relocated to Divisional Public School, Model Town, Lahore, to ensure a conducive environment for candidates, the PPSC said. Affected candidates have been advised to download their revised admission letters after 2:00 pm on April 21, 2026, and ensure their presence at the new examination centre as per the schedule.
Meanwhile, the results of PMS/Combined Competitive Examination 2025 Phase-I have already been announced. More than 8,000 candidates were declared successful against 119 posts. Over 36,000 candidates had appeared in the Phase-I examination held on January 25, 2026, of whom 8,898 qualified.
The successful candidates will be called for Phase-II, comprising 11 subjective papers, including five compulsory and six optional subjects. After the written examination, candidates will undergo psychological assessment followed by interviews.
