Two New Schools and 26 Contract Posts
The two schools are the newly constructed Centre of Excellence Boys Schools at Phoolnagar and Sarai Mughal, in Kasur District. Phoolnagar takes 14 posts and Sarai Mughal 12, the difference being Security Guards alone: 8 at Phoolnagar and 6 at Sarai Mughal. Every other post is split evenly, one at each school.
Phoolnagar: 14 posts, including 8 Security Guards.
Sarai Mughal: 12 posts, including 6 Security Guards.
The contract character is central: appointments are on a contract basis, and selected candidates may be required to join when the campuses become operational or whenever the authority requires. Do not assume a fixed joining date; keep your availability flexible after applying.
Accounts Officer and Head Clerk Posts
The senior non-teaching posts in this round are the Accounts Officer and Head Clerk posts, and they carry the highest scales and the most specific experience expectations. The Accounts Officer post, at OG-I, is a finance post, while the Head Clerk post, at DS-16, is the senior clerical post in each school. Both posts are open at both campuses, with one vacancy each.
Accounts Officer (OG-I), 2 posts: M.Com, ACCA, ACMA (Inter), MBA in Finance, or B.Com with five years of relevant experience.
Head Clerk (DS-16), 2 posts: minimum Matriculation or equivalent.
Head Clerk experience: ten years of relevant experience in a reputable organisation is preferred.
Head Clerk skills: Microsoft Office, Urdu InPage, typing 30 to 35 words per minute, English correspondence, filing and record-keeping.
B.Com applicants for Accounts Officer should note the express five-year relevant experience condition in government, semi-government or private-sector organisations. Head Clerk applicants should emphasise record-keeping and correspondence experience, since the post is defined by office systems rather than academic level alone. Attach experience or character certificates where applicable.
The middle tier of this recruitment covers administration and clerical work, with one Assistant Admin Officer and two kinds of Junior Clerk at each school. The Assistant Admin Officer post is a broad administrative role, covering man-management, messing, building maintenance, procurement, security and sporting facilities. The Junior Clerk posts are split between general and accounts work, and the two versions have different qualifications.
Assistant Admin Officer (DS-16), 2 posts: minimum Matriculation, five years of relevant experience preferred.
Junior Clerk (General) (DS-11), 2 posts: minimum Matriculation, Microsoft Office, Urdu InPage, typing 30 to 35 words per minute.
Junior Clerk (Accounts) (DS-11), 2 posts: I.Com, D.Com or equivalent, plus a short computer course and typing 30 to 35 words per minute.
Three years of relevant experience is preferred for both Junior Clerk posts.
The distinction between the two Junior Clerk posts decides eligibility. General Junior Clerks need Matriculation with office and typing skills, while Accounts Junior Clerks need an intermediate commerce qualification with a short computer course. Apply for the version matching your own certificate; separate applications are required for different posts in any case.
Store Keeper and Security Guard Posts
Store Keeper and Security Guard together account for 16 of the 26 vacancies. Store Keeper has one vacancy at each school, while Security Guard, with 14 vacancies, is by far the largest post. One is a stores and inventory role; the other is a uniformed security role for ex-service personnel.
Store Keeper (General) (DS-09), 2 posts: minimum Matriculation, three years of store handling and inventory experience preferred.
Security Guard experience: relevant service in Infantry, Artillery, Armoured Corps, Air Defence, Rangers, Frontier Corps, Engineers, Navy Marines or Mujahid battalions.
Security Guard conditions: mental-stability clearance from the school psychologist during probation, preferably five years of proven weapon-handling experience, and eyesight of 6/6.
Security Guard applicants should read the service conditions carefully: the advertisement lists specific arms and services, plus personnel from other arms who completed an Advanced Infantry Course or SSG course. Weapon-handling experience is subject to testing, and eyesight of 6/6 is stated as a requirement, so general security experience alone may not suffice.
There is no online process prescribed. Candidates must apply by post, courier or in person, with a detailed CV and attested documents, to the authority’s office in Lahore. The post and campus must be written clearly on the envelope, and separate applications are required for different posts or campuses.
Prepare a detailed, updated CV with personal information, qualifications and relevant experience.
Attach two recent photographs, attested copies of educational and experience certificates, domicile and CNIC.
Write the post and campus clearly on the envelope, for example Junior Clerk (General), Phoolnagar.
Submit a separate application for each post or campus you apply for.
Send the application to the Manager (Admin, HR and Coordination), Punjab Daanish Schools and Centres of Excellence Authority, Japanese Cell Building, Research Station, Near Punjab University, Canal Bank, Lahore.
Applications must reach the designated address on or before 11 November 2026.
