Welcome to this week’s government job roundup on CrackExamPrep. An honest note first: no brand-new mega advertisement was issued by PPSC, FPSC, SPSC, NTS or OTS in the past seven days, so this edition is a status-and-watch roundup — the biggest live ad (SPSC’s 54 posts), the FPSC written tests that begin on Monday, and the deadlines you must not miss. Everything below is summarised and structured in our own format — always cross-check with the official advertisement before applying.
FPSC Phase-III/2026: Admission Certificates Out — Tests Start Monday 12 October
This is the week’s biggest development for federal-job aspirants. The Federal Public Service Commission has placed the online admission certificates (roll number slips) for the General Recruitment Phase-III/2026 written tests on its website. The tests run from 12 to 19 October 2026 across 13 cities.
How to download your slip: open https://www.fpsc.gov.pk, go to the Schedule menu and choose Admission Certificates, then click “Online Admission Certificates General Recruitment Phase III/2026”. Enter your CNIC number, find your case (you get one certificate per post if you applied for more than one), and print it on A4 paper. FPSC does not post or email the certificate — downloading it yourself is your own responsibility.
What to carry on test day: the printed slip plus your original CNIC (or passport). Without both, you will not be allowed into the hall. Mobile phones and electronic devices are strictly banned — a candidate found with one is disqualified from the test and may be permanently debarred from future FPSC examinations.
Postponement alert: FPSC has postponed the tests for some Board of Investment cases (17 posts across 5 cases, BS-16 to BS-20), so check the official Phase-III timetable to confirm whether your case is affected.
Test pattern: MCQ-based screening for the general recruitment cases. Our FPSC general recruitment test guide covers the new pattern, syllabus and free practice.

Domicile and quota: Sindh domicile and PRC are required, with the usual provincial quota distribution across the posts.

CSS aspirants, take note: FPSC has released the online admission certificates for the CSS 2027 MPT (MCQs-Based Preliminary Test), and the test is scheduled for Saturday, 10 October 2026.

PPSC: Ad 10/2026 Closed 5 October — Next Ad Expected Soon
PPSC’s mega Advertisement 10/2026 (1,992 posts) closed on 5 October 2026. No new PPSC advertisement had been issued at the time of writing — Ad 11/2026 is expected in the coming weeks. Use the gap wisely: keep your degrees, domicile and experience certificates ready, and start practicing MCQs now with our PPSC written-test pattern guide and the Jobs Test Preparation course.
NTS GAT-G-VII: Sunday 11 October
Registered candidates should note that the NTS GAT General (GAT-G-VII) session is scheduled for Sunday, 11 October 2026, with the result expected around 19 October — registration for this session has closed. An honest note on our coverage: for GAT/NAT-style tests, our question banks cover only the English and General Knowledge portions — the quantitative and analytical sections are not covered, so do not treat them as complete GAT/NAT preparation. See our GAT General test format page.
Prepare With Free Practice Tests
Every commission screening — PPSC, SPSC, FPSC — rewards the same core skill: fast, accurate MCQ solving under a 90-minute clock. Our Jobs Test Preparation course offers free timed practice across five question banks: General Knowledge, English, Islamiat, Pak Studies and Current Affairs.
