Eligibility Criteria Explained

Education: Applicants need a second class or Grade ‘C’ Master’s degree, or a BS/Bachelor’s degree representing 16 years of education, in any discipline, from a university recognized by HEC. Since the degree can be in any discipline, this post is not restricted to a specific academic background.

Age Limit: The prescribed age range is 20 to 28 years, with a 5-year general relaxation applied to the upper limit as per applicable FPSC rules. Applicants should calculate their age as per FPSC’s stated rules and cut-off date rather than assuming the relaxation automatically applies to their situation.

Physical Standards: Because this is a police post, candidates must also meet physical requirements:

• Height: Male candidates — minimum 5’7″; Female candidates — minimum 5’2″
• Chest (male only): 33″ minimum, with 1.5″ expansion (up to 34.5″)
• Vision: 6/6, with or without glasses
• Running Test: Male candidates — 1.6 km within 7 minutes; Female candidates — 1.6 km within 10 minutes

The physical measurement and running test will be conducted by the ICT Police Department once candidates are referred by FPSC — these are not conducted directly by FPSC at the application stage.

Domicile and Quota: The 23 vacancies are distributed across a quota system covering Merit, ICT, Punjab, Sindh, KPK, Balochistan, Ex-FATA, and AJK. See the quota table below. Applicants should confirm their domicile matches the quota category they are applying under.

Quota Breakdown

Quota Category	Vacancies
Merit	2
ICT	4
Punjab	9
Sindh	3
KPK	2
Balochistan	2
Ex-FATA	1
AJK	1

Note on accuracy: The quota breakdown above, as shown in the official advertisement graphic, totals 24 against the announced total of 23 vacancies. Independent secondary reporting on this same case gives a slightly different breakdown (for example, splitting Sindh into Sindh Rural and Sindh Urban, and showing different Merit/ICT/Punjab figures that sum to 23). Because of this discrepancy between sources, applicants should verify the exact quota breakdown directly against FPSC’s official Consolidated Advertisement No. 03/2026 PDF before applying, rather than relying solely on this table.

Who Should Consider Applying?

This post may suit graduates from any academic discipline who are interested in a permanent career in federal law enforcement, provided they also meet the height, chest, vision, and running-test standards required for police service. Since the qualification requirement is broad (16 years of education in any subject), it may appeal to a wide range of applicants — not only those from a criminology, law, or security-studies background — as long as they are prepared for the physical component of the selection process.

1. Visit the official FPSC website and locate Consolidated Advertisement No. 03/2026.

6. Pay the prescribed application fee against the FPSC-generated PSID through a supported 1-Link payment channel (mobile banking, ATM, Easypaisa, or JazzCash).
