All 8 Posts: Row-by-Row Table
We read every row of the advertisement image. Education is printed as “16 year(s)”, which means a 16-year degree such as a BS / bachelor’s (4 years) or master’s. The ad table does not name the subject for each post: the job descriptions on the portal do.

Count and Criteria Check
The table has 8 rows, so 8 posts. Three posts need 4 years of experience (rows 1, 2, 3) and five need 3 years (rows 4 to 8). Only row 6, Information Security Engineer, has a 35-year age cap: all the others say 40. The column is headed “Age (Max)”, so it is an upper limit; the ad does not say on which date your age is counted. Use our Age Calculator for Govt Jobs to check yourself.
Who Can Apply
- Graduates with a 16-year degree who also have 3 or 4 years of experience in the field that matches the post (networking, security, backup, datacenter, systems, identity management).
- Candidates who are not older than 40 (35 for Information Security Engineer) on the date counted by PITB.
- The ad does not limit the posts to a district, but the Government of the Punjab recruitment rules apply (see the quota note below).
- Medically fit candidates: the ad asks for “qualified, energetic, medically fit and self-motivated” people.
- Government / semi-government employees must apply through proper channel (permission from their department).
Last Date: 22 November 2026
The ad prints “Last date to apply for all positions is November 22, 2026”. That is a Sunday, so do not leave it for the last evening: portals get slow near the deadline. Aim to apply by the middle of that week.
How to Apply on the Punjab Job Portal
The ad sends candidates to www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk to apply and to view the eligibility and selection criteria, experience and job description of each position. The portal needs JavaScript, so use an up-to-date browser. The steps below are the usual flow on that portal; screens can change, so follow the portal’s own instructions.
Type www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk yourself in the browser. Do not use a link from a message or an unknown website.
Register with your CNIC, a working mobile number and email, then complete your profile (education, experience, documents).
Look for the Punjab Information Technology Board advertisement with Code MP011-2026 and open the position that matches your profile.
Check the required discipline, skills and experience for that exact post before you apply.
Fill in every field, upload the required documents and submit. Save the confirmation or application number.
Take a screenshot of the submitted application. Only short-listed candidates are contacted, through official channels (see the scam alert below).

Official PITB Scam Alert
PITB’s own website (pitb.gov.pk) carries a “Scam Alert – Jobs” notice. It says PITB advertises vacancies only in national newspapers and on the official Punjab Job Portal (www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk), and that genuine emails come from an address ending in @pitb.gov.pk, followed by a phone call from the HR Wing. An email from any other address may not be authentic. Never pay money to anyone for a PITB seat.
Not Confirmed
- Salary / pay grade: the ad prints none, and we could not confirm one from an official PITB page. Do not trust a figure from WhatsApp.
- Required subject for each post (for example computer science vs electrical engineering): shown in the portal’s job description, not in the newspaper table.
- Contract length, test / interview dates and the exact date on which age is counted: not printed.
- Number of quota seats for women, persons with disabilities and minorities: the ad states the quota rule but no numbers.
- Application fee: not mentioned in the ad. Check the portal before paying anything, and only through the portal’s own official method.
Karna / Nahi Karna
Karna:
- Open www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk now, create your account and complete the profile well before 22 November 2026.

Nahi karna:
- Do not send your CV by email, post, courier or visit the PITB office: the ad says these are not accepted.

- Do not apply for the 35-year-limit post if you are over 35, or for a 4-year post with only 3 years of experience.
- Do not give false information: the ad says action can be taken if a criminal record is found.
- Do not trust emails from addresses that do not end in @pitb.gov.pk.
