Punjab University Lecturer Jobs 2026 have been advertised by the University of the Punjab, Lahore under Advertisement No. 3/2026 for four Lecturer posts on fixed pay basis at its Pothohar Campus, Gujar Khan, with a closing date of 17 August 2026. The four posts are split across three disciplines: one Lecturer in Computer Science, one in Information Technology and two in Law. The advertisement heading publishes the pay openly as Lecturer (Fixed Pay Rs. 90,000 per month), which is unusual, because most university advertisements in Pakistan quote only a scale rather than a rupee figure.
The departments named on the listing page are the Department of Information Technology and the Department of Law at Pothohar Campus. The application window opened on 15 July 2026 and closes on 17 August 2026, leaving a very short runway. Candidates should note that this is a separate advertisement from the Pothohar Campus non-teaching round covered in our article on Punjab University Pothohar Campus Jobs 2026, which carries different posts, a different portal and a later deadline of 31 August 2026.

The most important line in that table is the qualification wording, not the seat count. The Computer Science and Information Technology posts require a First Class MS or MPhil awarded after 18 years of education, so a 16-year BS alone does not meet the bar. The two Law posts sit at a lower academic bar: a First Class LL.B is sufficient and an LL.M is not demanded. Applicants holding a First Class LL.B who assumed a master’s degree was required should look again, because half the advertised seats are on the Law side.
Punjab University Lecturer Jobs 2026 Eligibility Criteria
For the Computer Science and Information Technology posts, a First Class MS, MPhil or equivalent degree awarded after 18 years of education in the relevant field from an HEC recognised university or institution.
For the two Law posts, a First Class LL.B degree from an HEC recognised university or institution.
No third division anywhere in the academic record. This condition is printed on the advertisement and applies to both categories, so a single third division at any earlier stage of a candidate’s education is disqualifying even where the final degree is First Class.
The result of the qualifying degree must be officially announced before the closing date, so candidates awaiting results cannot rely on a provisional position.
Foreign degrees require an HEC equivalence certificate.
Candidates already in government service must apply with a departmental no objection certificate.
No age limit is specified in the advertisement, and the advertisement does not state any experience requirement.
Salary and Benefits
The advertisement publishes an exact figure rather than a scale: Rs. 90,000 per month on fixed pay basis, printed in the heading as Lecturer (Fixed Pay Rs. 90,000/- per month). Candidates should read fixed pay literally. It is a consolidated monthly amount and does not carry the annual increments, allowance structure and pension entitlement attached to a regular Basic Pay Scale appointment. The advertisement does not describe any allowances, medical cover, accommodation or tenure length, and no such benefits should be assumed. What the figure does provide is certainty at the application stage, which is rare in university recruitment, and it lets applicants weigh the role against private-sector teaching offers before committing to the fee and the paperwork. Questions about contract terms should be put to the university’s human resource office before the closing date.
How to Apply for Punjab University Lecturer Jobs 2026
Apply online at https://jobs.pu.edu.pk/. The advertisement states plainly that applications other than online shall not be accepted.
Complete the online form with your academic record exactly as it appears on your transcripts, including divisions and CGPA.
Generate the challan from the portal and deposit the application fee of Rs. 3,000 at any HBL or UBL branch.
Print the submitted application and attach attested copies of all supporting documents, including the paid challan.
Send the hard copy by registered post to the Registrar, Human Resource Branch, Room No. 19, Admin Block, University of the Punjab, Lahore, so that it arrives by the closing date. The online submission alone is not sufficient.
Complete both steps before 17 August 2026. Incomplete applications, in any case, shall not be entertained.
For queries, contact puhr@pu.edu.pk or call (042) 99232319 or (042) 99230362.
Required Documents
Attested copies of matriculation, intermediate and all degree certificates.
Complete transcripts or detailed marks certificates showing division and CGPA for every stage of education.
MS or MPhil degree for the Computer Science and Information Technology posts, or the LL.B degree for the Law posts.
HEC equivalence certificate for any degree obtained abroad.
Paid bank challan of Rs. 3,000 deposited through HBL or UBL.
Valid CNIC and recent passport-size photographs.
Departmental no objection certificate for serving government employees.
A printout of the submitted online application, for despatch by registered post.
Selection Process
The advertisement does not name a testing service, publish an interview date or describe the stages of assessment. What it does set out clearly are the conditions on which applications will be rejected before assessment begins. Applications must be submitted online, the hard copy must reach the Registrar by the closing date, the qualifying result must be officially announced before that date, foreign degrees must carry HEC equivalence, and serving government employees must attach a departmental no objection certificate. The advertisement states that incomplete applications, in any case, shall not be entertained, which means scrutiny is where most candidates are lost rather than at interview. Shortlisted candidates are contacted by the university’s human resource branch using the details supplied in the application, so an accurate email address and mobile number matter.

For candidates in the Rawalpindi and Gujar Khan belt, a Lecturer post at Pothohar Campus offers university-level teaching experience without relocating to Lahore.
FAQs about Punjab University Lecturer Jobs 2026
What is the last date for Punjab University Lecturer Jobs 2026?
The closing date is 17 August 2026, with the application window having opened on 15 July 2026. Both the online submission on jobs.pu.edu.pk and the hard copy sent by registered post to the Registrar must be completed by that date, so candidates should allow for postal transit time rather than applying on the final day.
How many Lecturer posts are available and in which subjects?
Four posts are advertised under Advertisement No. 3/2026, all on fixed pay basis at Pothohar Campus, Gujar Khan. One post is in Computer Science, one is in Information Technology and two are in Law. The departments named on the listing are the Department of Information Technology and the Department of Law.
What is the salary for these Lecturer posts?
The advertisement publishes Rs. 90,000 per month on fixed pay basis. This is a consolidated amount rather than a Basic Pay Scale appointment, so annual increments, the standard allowance structure and pension entitlement should not be assumed. No other benefits or tenure length are described anywhere in the advertisement.
What does the no third division condition mean?
It means a third division at any point in your academic record disqualifies the application, even if your final degree is First Class. This is the single strictest filter in the advertisement and it removes many otherwise qualified applicants. Check every certificate from matriculation onwards before paying the fee.
How much is the application fee and how is it paid?
The application fee for Lecturer posts is Rs. 3,000. It is deposited through HBL or UBL against the challan generated during the online application on jobs.pu.edu.pk. The paid challan should then be attached to the hard copy of the application that is sent by registered post to the Registrar in Lahore.
Candidates are advised to confirm the qualification wording, fee, submission requirements and closing date on the official advertisement published on pu.edu.pk before applying.
