Eligibility Criteria Explained
Education: Requirements differ significantly by post. Technical and managerial posts (Assistant Manager/Junior Engineer, Assistant Manager Customer Services) require a relevant Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, and engineering candidates must hold valid PEC registration. Clerical posts (Head Clerk, UDC, LDC, Commercial Assistant) require a specific IT training certificate from NITB, TEVTA, PBTE, or an institution recognized by the Board of Technical Education, in addition to the academic qualification. Support posts such as Meter Reader, Bill Distributor, and Tracer require Matric or HSSC-level qualifications.
Experience: Most posts do not require prior experience. Line Superintendent-I requires three years of supervisory experience in an electrical organization, and Driver requires five years of post-license driving experience.
Age Limit: The age limit is calculated as on the closing date of the advertisement and includes the standard 5-year age relaxation, except for the Driver post, where the range (25 to 35 years) is given directly. Applicants should confirm their exact age eligibility against the closing date rather than the publication date.
Quota: LESCO has allocated vacancies under Direct Quota, LESCO Employees’ Children Quota (20%), Women Quota (10%, where applicable), and Minority Quota (5%, where applicable). Assistant Manager/Junior Engineer posts also carry regional quota allocation: Punjab (Open), Sindh Rural (Open), and KPK (Open). Applicants applying under the LESCO Employees’ Children Quota must submit a parent-verification form signed by the Deputy Manager Operations, along with a notarized affidavit, in addition to their standard documents.
Domicile: The advertisement does not specify a separate domicile requirement beyond the regional quota allocation mentioned for Assistant Manager/Junior Engineer posts.
Who Should Consider Applying?
These posts may suit a wide range of candidates. Engineering graduates with PEC registration may consider the Assistant Manager/Junior Engineer post, while candidates with a diploma in electrical technology and prior supervisory experience may be suited to the Line Superintendent posts. Graduates with a background in commerce, accounting, or general studies along with a basic IT/MS Office certificate may be eligible for the clerical and Commercial Assistant posts.
Candidates with only a Matric or HSSC qualification, including those with a valid heavy-vehicle driving license, may consider the Meter Reader, Bill Distributor, Tracer, or Driver posts. Since all appointments are contract-based with no guarantee of regularization, applicants should weigh this against their career goals before applying. Candidates preparing their documents for the Assistant Manager or clerical posts may also want to review a resume format guide to make sure their qualifications and experience are presented clearly.
How to Apply
- Visit the official OTS project page for LESCO and select the post you meet the eligibility criteria for — a submitted category selection cannot be changed later.
- Read the full advertisement and category-specific details on the OTS portal before starting your application.
- Complete the online application form, entering complete details of all your qualifications and any relevant experience.
- Pay the required test fee through the PSID generated by OTS, using 1-Bill payment via your mobile banking app.
- Attach your supporting documents — educational certificates, domicile certificate, CNIC (front and back), experience certificates (if applicable), PEC card (for engineering posts), and driving license (for the Driver post). Per the official OTS instructions, you may either upload scanned copies directly on the OTS portal, or send hard copies of the complete application with all required documents to the OTS address by courier.
- If applying under the LESCO Employees’ Children Quota, additionally download, complete, and get the prescribed parent-verification form signed by the Deputy Manager Operations, and upload it with a notarized affidavit.
- Review the complete application carefully, then submit it before the deadline.
- Keep a copy of your submitted application and payment receipt for your records.
The application form itself must always be submitted online — by-hand submission is never accepted. According to the official OTS instructions, it’s only the supporting documents that OTS allows applicants to either upload on the portal or send by courier. If you’re unsure how to complete any part of the form correctly, our guide on how to fill out a job application covers the process step by step, including how to handle sections that trip most applicants up.

Important Things to Check Before Applying
- Confirm that your qualification and grade/division match the exact requirement for your chosen post.
- Recalculate your age as on the closing date, not the date you are applying.
- Double-check your selected post/category before submitting — OTS does not allow changes afterward.
- Make sure all required documents are uploaded or ready to courier, since incomplete applications will be rejected.
- Keep your PSID payment receipt safe, as the fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
- If applying under the LESCO Employees’ Children Quota, prepare the additional verification form and affidavit in advance.
- If you’re shortlisted for the written test or interview stage, our interview preparation guide can help you get ready in advance rather than scrambling once the roll number slip is issued.
