The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has postponed its scheduled recruitment tests in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, leaving candidates waiting for new examination dates. The commission announced the decision on October 11, 2026, citing the prevailing situation in the province and requests from candidates and local invigilation staff.
The postponement affects the Phase-III/2026 General Recruitment Tests scheduled from October 12 to October 19, 2026. Examination centres in Peshawar and Dera Ismail Khan are among those covered by the decision.
However, the change applies only to the specified tests in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. FPSC examinations scheduled in other provinces and areas will continue according to the previously announced timetable.
Why Has FPSC Postponed Recruitment Tests in KP?
FPSC announced the postponement through a public notice issued on October 11, 2026. The commission attributed the decision to the prevailing situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Moreover, it acknowledged requests from candidates and local invigilation staff while explaining the decision. The notice covers the Phase-III/2026 General Recruitment Tests scheduled across the province during the specified period.
The announcement does not identify individual candidates or specific examination papers affected by the change. Therefore, candidates should consult the commission’s official updates for details relevant to their examinations.
Which FPSC Examination Centres Are Affected?
The postponement covers the specified General Recruitment Tests in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including examination centres in Peshawar and Dera Ismail Khan.
Candidates scheduled to appear at these centres should check the commission’s latest announcements before making arrangements for their examinations. In particular, they should confirm their revised dates once FPSC releases the updated schedule.
Meanwhile, candidates appearing for FPSC recruitment tests in other provinces and areas do not face a schedule change under this notice. Those examinations will proceed according to the timetable announced earlier.
When Will FPSC Announce New Test Dates?
FPSC has confirmed that it will issue a revised schedule for the postponed examinations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at a later date. However, the commission has not provided new examination dates in the notice.
Consequently, affected candidates must wait for the official announcement before confirming their next examination plans. They should also avoid relying on unverified information about replacement dates.
How Can Candidates Check FPSC Updates?
Candidates can visit the official FPSC website regularly for information about revised examination dates and further instructions.
The commission’s website remains the recommended source for confirming any changes to the postponed tests. Candidates should review official notices carefully to ensure they have the correct information before attending their examinations.
For now, the postponement remains limited to the specified Phase-III/2026 General Recruitment Tests in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Examinations scheduled in other parts of the country will continue under the existing timetable unless FPSC announces further changes.
