Rawalpindi Medical University is hiring for three senior administrative posts at BS-20 level, a rare opening for experienced medical and academic administrators in Punjab. Advertised in Daily K2 on 22 October 2026, the Registrar, Controller of Examination and Director (Quality Enhancement Cell) posts close on 10 November 2026, with applications submitted on the university’s prescribed proforma by post. Each post leads a different function of the university, so the choice of post matters as much as the qualification itself.

Posts on Offer
All three posts sit at the same grade, but they lead very different parts of a medical university. The Registrar runs administration, the Controller of Examination runs examinations, and the Quality Enhancement Cell director runs academic quality assurance, so applicants should choose the post that matches their own career record rather than treating the three as interchangeable.
Registrar — 1 post, BS-20: the university’s senior administrative officer, responsible for administration in a medical college, teaching hospital or recognised institute setting.
Controller of Examination — 1 post, BS-20: the senior officer for the examination branch, responsible for teaching, administrative or examination-branch experience.
Director (Quality Enhancement Cell) — 1 post, BS-20: the senior officer for quality enhancement, responsible for academic quality work in a medical college, teaching hospital or university.
Contract: appointments are on contract for an initial one year, extendable on the basis of performance.
Location: Rawalpindi Medical University, New Teaching Block, inside Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi.
Salary note: the reproduced advertisement states the BS-20 grade but does not state a fixed monthly salary amount.
Registrar Eligibility
The Registrar post offers several alternative qualification routes, which is common for a senior post that may be filled by a medical graduate, a postgraduate administrator or a long-serving registrar. Applicants need to meet one complete route, not mix parts of different routes.
Route 1: PhD, FCPS, MS, MDS or MD, with ten years of experience in a medical college, teaching hospital or recognised institute.
Route 2: MPhil, MPH or MBA after MBBS or BDS, with twelve years of relevant experience.
Route 3: MBBS or BDS with fifteen years of relevant experience.
Route 4: PhD or MPhil after MBBS or BDS, with ten years of experience as Registrar (BS-20) or Additional Registrar (BS-19).
Route 5: eighteen years of education in the second division, with eighteen years of post-qualification administration experience in BS-17 and above.
Age: 30 to 50 years, with general age relaxation of five years across the board and eight years for female candidates under Punjab government policy.
The other two posts follow the same pattern of alternative routes, but their experience must be in the right branch. Examination-branch experience matters for the Controller post, and management or quality experience matters for the Quality Enhancement Cell post.
Controller, route 1: PhD, FCPS, MD, MS or MDS after MBBS or BDS, with ten years of teaching, administrative or examination-branch experience.
Controller, route 2: MPhil, MPH, MBBS or BDS, with twelve years of relevant experience.
Controller, route 3: MA, MSc, MBA or MCS, with fifteen years of experience in BS-18 or above in an examination branch.
QEC Director, route 1: PhD, FCPS, MS or MD, with six years of relevant experience in a medical college, teaching hospital or university.
QEC Director, route 2: MPhil or MPH in the second division after MBBS, with ten years of relevant experience.
QEC Director, route 3: MS in Total Quality Management or a relevant discipline, with ten years of experience at management positions.
Age for both: 30 to 50 years, with the same Punjab relaxation provisions as the Registrar post.
Fee and Documents
Unlike the online federal rounds in this batch, this is a paper application with a bank draft fee. Applicants should arrange the draft early, because a missing or incorrectly drawn draft is a common reason for a paper application to be set aside.
Application fee: a bank draft or pay order of Rs. 2,000 in favour of the Vice Chancellor, RMU Rawalpindi.
Proforma: the prescribed application proforma, downloaded from the university’s official website.
Degrees: attested copies of degrees, with PM&DC, PMC, PEC or HEC recognition certificates as applicable.
Experience: experience certificates supporting the qualification route claimed.
Identity: Computerised National Identity Card and Punjab domicile certificate.
Photographs: two fresh passport-size coloured photographs.
In-service rule: candidates already in service must apply through the proper channel.
Applicants should also confirm, before posting, that their recognition certificates match the route they are claiming. A medical qualification route, for example, depends on recognition by the relevant council, while a management or examination-branch route depends on the service record in the grade claimed. Checking that match early prevents a strong application from failing on a technical mismatch between the degree, the recognition certificate and the experience claimed.
How to Apply Step by Step
Because the application is submitted in hard copy, postal timing matters as much as the form itself. Applicants outside Rawalpindi should post well before 10 November 2026 rather than relying on same-day delivery.
Step 1: download the prescribed proforma from the university’s official website at rmur.edu.pk.
Step 2: choose the single post that matches your qualification route and experience, and complete the proforma accurately.
Step 3: obtain a bank draft or pay order of Rs. 2,000 in favour of the Vice Chancellor, RMU Rawalpindi.
Step 4: attach attested copies of degrees, recognition certificates, experience certificates, CNIC, Punjab domicile and two photographs.
Step 5: in-service candidates must route the application through the proper channel.
Step 6: submit the hard copies to Room No. 39, RMU New Teaching Block, Rawalpindi Medical University, inside Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, so that they arrive by 10 November 2026.
Step 7: keep a copy of the completed proforma and the bank draft receipt for your own record; no travel or daily allowance is payable for the interview.

Two cautions apply to senior applicants in particular. First, the age band is 30 to 50 years before relaxation, so younger administrators, however experienced, fall outside the printed range. Second, the contract is initially for one year, extendable on performance, so applicants should not treat these posts as permanent appointments at the application stage.
Three BS-20 posts at one medical university, each with a distinct leadership brief, make this a focused opportunity for senior medical and academic administrators in Punjab. Eligible candidates should match themselves to one complete qualification route, arrange the Rs. 2,000 bank draft, and submit the prescribed proforma in hard copy so that it reaches Rawalpindi Medical University by 10 November 2026.
