Who Can Apply for These PIU Posts
Every post in this round asks for a Punjab domicile, and each post names its own degree field, experience and age limit. Read the row for your post in the table above before you prepare your application, because the fields differ widely — a nursing degree fits the nursing posts, an accounting degree fits the finance posts, and an engineering degree fits the Project Engineer post.
All degrees must come from an HEC-recognised institute or university, and foreign degrees need HEC equivalence. Candidates with experience on ADB, World Bank or other donor-funded projects should show it clearly on their CV, because the finance and procurement posts treat it as a real advantage. Government employees must apply through the proper channel with an NOC. Women, minority and disability quotas apply as per government policy, and the advertisement encourages transgender persons, persons with disabilities and minorities to apply.
What the PIU Contract Offers
These are project posts under the Punjab Government Recruitment Policy 2022 and the approved PC-I of the project. Each post is project-based, post-specific and non-transferable, and no post carries a right to regularization. Contracts run from 1 year to 5 years depending on the post, with renewal linked to annual performance. The unit is building nursing and allied-health capacity across Punjab, so the specialists hired here will shape training standards, clinical standards and simulation labs for the province’s health workforce. No TA or DA is admissible for the test or interview, and only shortlisted candidates will be called.
