Who Can Apply? Eligibility Checklist
- Education: Intermediate with second division or better, from any recognised board. The ad does not name subjects, so FA, FSc, I.Com, ICS or DAE-equivalent questions should go to the regional office.
- Age: 18 to 25 years. The upper limit is checked on the last date and there is no relaxation.
- Domicile: a Punjab domicile certificate is required.
- Gender: both men and women can apply; 15% of the posts are reserved for women. The endurance test timings are different for men and women (see below).
- Minorities: 5% quota for minorities, as per government instructions.
- Clean record: you must declare on a stamp paper affidavit that no FIR is registered against you and that you are not a declared absconder (condition 23).
- Government employees: must apply through proper channel (condition 16).
How many seats are in each quota? The ad does not give a seat split. As a rough guide only, 15% of 61 is about 9 women seats and 5% is about 3 minority seats, but that is our arithmetic, not a number from the ad.
How to Apply for Special Branch Intelligence Operator (Step by Step)
Open punjabpolice.gov.pk and download the application form and the oath / affidavit (halaf nama). The ad says both are available on the Punjab Police website. If the page does not show them, check the “Police Jobs” section or the official Police Jobs Archive, or ask your regional office.
Name, father name, CNIC, domicile district, board, division and date of birth must match your documents exactly. Wrong information can cancel your recruitment later (conditions 23 and 24).
Condition 23 says every candidate must submit an affidavit on stamp paper that no FIR is registered against them and that they are not an absconder. A false statement means disqualification and legal action.
Educational certificates, domicile, CNIC, and three recent passport-size photographs (see the document checklist below).
The ad prints “Rs 500 (form fee)”. On our scan the line is cut at the left edge, so how the fee is to be paid and in whose name is not fully legible. Ask the regional office before you pay, and keep the receipt.
Send or hand over the file to the Special Branch regional office of your area (list below). Only Special Branch Punjab Police may collect forms; no other person, office or department is authorised (condition 5).
The ad says you may submit it within 15 days of publication. Our count is 30 November 2026. Submit in the first week if you can.
After the deadline the regional office scrutinises applications and informs candidates (condition 3). If you are wrongly rejected you can appeal within three days to the Review Committee at the regional office (condition 4).

Selection Process: Endurance Test, Written Test, Interview and Psychological Test

| 2. Endurance test | One-mile run: men 7 minutes, women 10 minutes. Dates are announced by the regional Special Branch office; short-listed candidates are informed (conditions 9 and 10). Appeal to the Endurance Test Review Committee within two days (condition 11). |

What happened last time (official record): the Punjab Police Police Jobs Archive shows that the 2023 recruitment of Intelligence Operators (BS-07) in Special Branch ran in this order: regional lists of candidates eligible for the endurance test, endurance test results, review committee results, written test results, and then a list of successful candidates. Expect the same pattern, and watch that page and your regional office for lists.
Written Test Syllabus (as printed in the ad)
Condition 13 says the written test has three parts, with MCQs:
- 1. Basic Intelligence: General Knowledge, Pakistan Affairs, Islamiat, Current Affairs, Everyday Science
- 2. Quantitative / Computer Aptitude (MCQs): basic maths, plus computer knowledge such as MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint
- 3. Urdu and English Language Comprehension
The ad does not give total marks, passing marks, the number of questions or negative marking. Practise topic-wise MCQs on the Educativz AI Quiz & MCQs page.
How to Prepare: Endurance Test, Written Test and Interview
Endurance test. One mile is about 1.6 km. 7 minutes means roughly 4 min 20 s per km for men; 10 minutes means roughly 6 min 15 s per km for women (our arithmetic). Start jogging now, three or four days a week, and time yourself over one mile once a week. Do not wait for the test date, because the date is not printed in the ad. Wear proper running shoes and avoid heavy meals before the run.
Written test. Revise Pakistan Affairs, Islamiat, current affairs of the last year, everyday science, simple maths (percentage, ratio, average), MS Word / Excel / PowerPoint basics, and Urdu / English comprehension and grammar.
Interview and psychological test. Be honest, calm and clear about your background. Know your documents, your domicile district, and why you want to join Special Branch. Intelligence work needs discretion, so do not talk about your application on social media.
Important Conditions from the Ad
- Contract only: 3 years, renewable on performance (not a regular post).
- Cadre: appointment is only in the Special Branch intelligence cadre and is not transferable to other departments or cadres (condition 7).
- Posting: you can be posted anywhere in Special Branch Punjab (condition 20).
- Number of posts: the department can change the number of posts at any time (condition 25) and can change or cancel the ad (condition 26).

Safety Note
Special Branch jobs attract fraud. No one can “arrange” a seat. Take the form only from punjabpolice.gov.pk and give your file only at the regional Special Branch office whose phone number is printed in the ad. Do not send your CNIC picture, documents or money to people who call you, add you on WhatsApp or promise a quick selection. If anyone asks for money beyond the printed Rs 500, report it to the regional office.
