| # | Post | Qualification and experience (as printed) | Pay package (as printed) |
| 1 | Professor (BPS-20) | PhD in the relevant field with 10 years teaching / research experience in a recognized teaching / research institute | “As approved in the PIP 2022” 0.3 M |

What does “0.3 M” mean? The ad prints the pay package as 0.3 M, 0.2 M, 0.15 M and 0.11 M. “M” normally means million rupees, so these read as about Rs 300,000, 200,000, 150,000 and 110,000. The ad does not say “per month”, so confirm with the college before you rely on these figures.
One more condition for every post: in addition to the minimum criteria above, you must hold a basic undergraduate degree in Computing Science. The number of vacancies per post is not printed.
Rules Printed in the Ad
- Staff working in government, semi-government or autonomous bodies must route the application through proper channel.
- A person dismissed from service or convicted by a court is not eligible.
- If you want more than one position, you must apply separately for each position.
- Submit applications with all relevant documents to the office of the Principal, GPGC Mansehra, on or before 02-11-2026.
- Incomplete applications and applications received after the due date are not considered.
- No TA/DA is paid during the selection process. Selection follows the evaluation criteria approved by the Higher Education Department.
- Appointments are purely on contract / project basis. Selected people have no right or claim to regularization or any regular or permanent job in the department or college.
- The competent authority may increase or decrease the number of positions, or reject any or all applications without giving reasons.
- Candidates who already applied do not need to submit fresh applications. Applications may also be sent by email.
- Only shortlisted candidates will be called for the test / interview.
How to Apply: Step by Step
Check Before You Apply: Email and Website
The ad prints the website www.gcm.edu.pk and the email info@gcm.edu.pk. When we opened the college website on 24 October 2026, the page header showed the email info@gcmansehra.edu.pk (a slightly different domain), and the Careers page gcm.edu.pk/jobs did not yet list this Institute of Applied Sciences & Technologies advertisement; the latest job notice there was dated July 2026 (a shortlist for Girls Degree College Bherkund).
Practical tip: if you send an email, send it to the address printed in the ad and put “Application for Lecturer (AI), GPGC Mansehra” (your post) in the subject line. To be safe, also hand-deliver or courier a hard copy to the Principal’s office, or phone 0997-380325 to confirm the college received your email. A one-letter difference in an email domain is the classic way applications go missing.
What the Ad Does Not Say
The ad does not give the number of posts, whether pay is per month, an age limit, an application fee, the test or interview date, or the project duration. It also does not say which part of the old advertisement was corrected (it is headed “Corrigendum”). Ask the college before you resign from a current job.
Karna / Nahi Karna: Do and Don’t
✅ Karna (Do)
- Apply separately for each post, with the exact specialization written clearly.
- Show your teaching / research years with letters, not just a CV line.
- Send early; 2 November 2026 is a Monday and courier delays are common.
- Keep a full copy of what you sent plus the courier receipt or sent email.
❌ Nahi karna (Don’t)
- Do not expect regularization: the ad says the jobs are purely project / contract.
- Do not pay anyone for a post; the ad mentions no fee.
- Do not apply if you lack the Computing Science undergraduate degree; it is an extra condition for all posts.
- Do not reapply if you applied earlier; the ad says that is not needed.
