The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has announced revised dates for its Phase III general recruitment tests in 2026. The examinations were postponed in Peshawar and Dera Ismail Khan due to the law-and-order situation.
According to a public notice, the postponed tests will now take place from November 7 to November 11, 2026. The revised schedule applies to candidates whose examinations were affected by the postponement.
The FPSC had originally scheduled these examinations between October 12 and October 19, 2026. However, security concerns led the commission to delay the tests in both cities.
The decision affects candidates preparing for the commission’s general recruitment examinations. Applicants will need to follow the updated schedule to confirm their examination dates and make the necessary arrangements.
FPSC to Upload Revised Schedule by October 30
The commission has also announced when candidates can access their updated examination details. According to the public notice, admission certificates and the revised timetable will be available on the official FPSC website by October 30, 2026.
Candidates are advised to visit the website and download their admission certificates once they become available. They should also review the revised timetable carefully before appearing for their examinations.
The admission certificate contains important information required for the examination. Candidates should check their examination details and follow the instructions provided by the commission.
Applicants should avoid relying on the previous October schedule. Instead, they should use the revised timetable to confirm the date of their respective tests.
