The Divisional Superintendent Office, Moghalpura, Lahore (Pakistan Railways) has printed a “Situation Vacant” advertisement in Jang Lahore, 13 November 2026, page 8 (ref. PID(L) 1193/2026). It invites applications from candidates with at least Matric (2nd Division) plus a one-year trade certificate or diploma to fill the REMAINING POSTS of the earlier advertisement dated 02.04.2026 for C-Class apprentices on contract basis for TWO YEARS. There are 190 posts in 19 trades in the Workshops Division Moghalpura and 37 posts in 4 trades in the Signal Shops Lahore: 227 posts in all (our sum), all BPS-06. Age is 18 to 25 years plus 5 years general relaxation (maximum 30). The application goes on the prescribed form with a Rs 1,000 original postal order, by registered post or courier only, and the last date is 5 December 2026.
Last date: 5 December 2026 (Saturday), printed in the ad. The ad says “No application will be accepted after the closing date” and that hand delivery is not accepted; the envelope must carry a post-office or courier stamp. Because the last date is a Saturday and the ad does not say whether the postmark or the arrival date counts, post it by registered DAK or courier no later than Tuesday 1 December. That timing is our advice, not a printed rule.
