Major Highlights from PPSC September 2025 Planner

1. Healthcare & Medical Education Posts

A significant portion of vacancies in the September planner are from the Specialized Healthcare & Medical Education Department. These include:

Assistant Professor Positions in Operative Dentistry (BS-18) and Oral Pathology (BS-18).

Associate Professor Positions in Oral Pathology, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Urology, and Neonatology.

Senior Registrar Positions in Paediatric Plastic Surgery, Paediatric Intensive Care, Paediatric Physical Medicine, and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.

Although these positions are highly specialized and in-demand, provisional applicants are currently very low, with some posts showing 0 applications received so far. This reflects the scarcity of highly qualified professionals in such specialized fields across Punjab.

2. Punjab Police – Sub Inspector Vacancies (BS-14)

The Punjab Police Department dominates the planner with hundreds of applicants. Sub Inspector (SI) posts were announced for multiple regions including:

Lahore Region – 29 posts (265 applicants)

Sheikhupura Region – 23 posts (109 applicants)

Gujranwala Region – 45 posts (195 applicants)

Rawalpindi Region – 38 posts (93 applicants)

Sargodha Region – 30 posts (116 applicants)

Faisalabad Region – 30 posts (170 applicants)

Sahiwal Region – 23 posts (122 applicants)

Multan Region – 30 posts (153 applicants)

Bahawalpur Region – 23 posts (118 applicants)

D.G. Khan Region – 29 posts (128 applicants)

The total Sub Inspector vacancies amount to 300 across Punjab, and the provisional number of applicants already surpasses 1,400, making this one of the most competitive categories in the September 2025 PPSC Planner.

3. Agriculture & Water Management

Another important category is the Assistant Director Agriculture (OFWM) (BS-18) under the Water Management Wing of Agriculture Department.

Total Posts: 50

Provisional Applicants: 26

While the number of vacancies is high, the applicant turnout is relatively lower compared to police posts. This suggests that technical and field-related jobs in agriculture attract a niche set of candidates with specialized qualifications.

4. Environment Protection & Climate Change Department

Climate change and environmental protection are emerging as priority areas for Punjab, reflected in these key positions:

Assistant Director (Field) (BS-17) – 10 posts with 357 applicants.

Research Officer / Assistant Director (Research) (BS-17) – 6 posts with 413 applicants.

Both roles have attracted an overwhelming number of applicants, showing the growing interest among youth in climate change, environmental research, and field operations.

5. Punjab Ring Road Authority (C&W Department)

Several technical and administrative posts were advertised for the Punjab Ring Road Authority, offering opportunities for engineers, planners, and administrators:

Assistant Director Engineering (BS-17) – 6 posts (53 applicants)

Assistant Director Contract (Services) (BS-17) – 2 posts (17 applicants)

Assistant Director Contract (Works) (BS-17) – 2 posts (12 applicants)

Assistant Director Planning & Design (BS-17) – 2 posts (10 applicants)

Assistant Director Civil (BS-17) – 1 post (13 applicants)

Assistant Director E&M (BS-17) – 2 posts (26 applicants)

Office Assistant (BS-16) – 12 posts (135 applicants)

The balanced number of posts and applications indicates healthy competition, particularly for engineering and civil positions.

6. Excise, Taxation & Narcotics Control Department

A highly specialized role was also advertised under the Punjab Counter Narcotics Force:

Deputy Director (Legal) (Lump-Sum Pay Package Rs. 338,712/- per month).

Total Posts: 2

Applicants: 57

The lucrative salary package and legal authority make this post one of the most attractive in the September 2025 planner.

Provisional Applicants Trend in September 2025

The provisional number of applicants provides insight into competition levels:

High Competition: Punjab Police (Sub Inspectors), Environment Protection (Research/Field).

Moderate Competition: Punjab Ring Road Authority engineering and assistant posts.

Low Competition: Healthcare & Medical Education specialized posts due to required qualifications.

This trend highlights how general administrative and law enforcement jobs draw mass interest, while highly specialized medical posts attract fewer candidates.

Importance of PPSC Planner for Aspirants

The PPSC Planner September 2025 is a vital resource for aspirants as it:

Provides real-time updates on advertisements, closing dates, and applicant numbers.

Helps candidates analyze competition levels in their chosen field.

Ensures transparency in the recruitment process by publishing applicant data.

Guides students and professionals in planning their future preparation strategies.

The PPSC Planner for September 2025 reflects Punjab’s strong demand for skilled professionals in healthcare, police, agriculture, environment, engineering, and law. While law enforcement and environmental posts have seen a flood of applicants, specialized healthcare roles remain under-applied, creating opportunities for qualified doctors and specialists.
