KPPSC Reschedules Interviews for 26th August 2026 Due to 12th Rabi-ul-Awal Public Holiday

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission (KPPSC) has officially released an important public notice announcing a change in its upcoming recruitment schedule. According to the notification issued by the Directorate of Recruitment, all KPPSC interviews rescheduled due to a nationwide public holiday will now take place a day earlier. This update is critical for all aspirants who had planned to appear before the commission on Wednesday, 26th August 2026.

Details of the Official Notification

Based on the official directive, Wednesday, 26th August 2026, has been declared a public holiday across the board in observance of the 12th Rabi-ul-Awal 1448 AH (2026). Because of this official holiday, standard government operations, administrative setups, and competitive testing schedules overseen by provincial bodies are adjusted to accommodate the religious observance.

Consequently, any candidate who received call-up letters or text alerts for KPPSC interviews on this specific date will find their timeline altered. The commission has proactively stepped in to ensure that applicants do not miss their career-defining assessment opportunities due to the holiday closure.

New Interview Dates and Timings

To prevent any disruption to the rigorous selection pipeline, the commission has shifted the affected sessions:

• Original Date: Wednesday, 26th August 2026 (Cancelled due to the 12th Rabi-ul-Awal public holiday 2026).

• New Revised Date: Tuesday, 25th August 2026.

• Venue & Time: As specified in the individual candidate e-letters and call-up notices.

Candidates who were previously directed to report on the 26th of August must now present themselves on 25th August 2026. The commission has confirmed that all affected applicants are being informed accordingly through official channels. However, individuals are strongly advised to double-check their portals to avoid confusion regarding travel and preparation.

What Aspirants Need to Do Next

As competitive examinations and interview processes managed by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission operate under strict punctuality rules, staying updated is vital. Here are essential steps for the candidates:

1. Verify Your Portal: Log into the official KPPSC web portal to check if your specific departmental interview falls into this revised bracket.

2. Adjust Travel Plans: Since the interviews have been moved forward to Tuesday, 25th August 2026, candidates traveling from remote districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should immediately rearrange their lodging and transit arrangements.
