What changed in Advertisement 06/2026
SPSC’s notice dated 23 October 2026 modifies Advertisement 04/2026 for the Combined Competitive Examination. The new application closing date is 11 November 2026. This is an amendment to the CCE recruitment process, rather than a separate list of newly advertised posts. The original advertisement says allocation depends on available departmental posts and candidates’ options; the amendment does not promise a fixed number of appointments.
Age, attempts and screening marks
The amendment raises the general upper age limit to 33 and says age for CCE 2026 is to be reckoned on the extended closing date, 11 November 2026. The lower age limit stays at 21. It also increases the permitted attempts to five for a period of three years; it does not specify a new three-year date range in the text. The screening qualifying score becomes 33% (66 marks), replacing the earlier 40% (80 marks), with 0.25 marks deducted for each wrong answer.
Check the remaining eligibility conditions
The original advertisement requires Pakistani citizenship, the stated Sindh domicile/permanent-residence conditions and at least a second-division bachelor’s degree. Foreign-degree holders must check the HEC equivalence requirements. It also contains a separate age concession for specified regular government servants. The amendment says other conditions remain unchanged: do not assume the deadline extension rewrites every domicile, service or document cut-off. Read both notices together, and ask SPSC to clarify a borderline eligibility case.
If you already applied
SPSC explicitly says applicants who submitted their online applications against the earlier advertisement need not apply again. Their applications remain valid and will be processed under the revised terms. The amendment allows deficient documents to be uploaded/submitted and mistakes in the online application to be rectified on or before the new closing date. Check your own application and submission status in the official candidate portal.
If you are applying for the first time
Use Apply Online on the SPSC website and the official candidate portal. The original advertisement accepts online applications only and describes generating a PSID for the Rs 1,000 fee through the 1Bill Invoice/Service option. Confirm the portal’s current payment instructions, complete the required fields, select optional subjects using the prescribed syllabus, and verify submission. Save your application and payment confirmation. NeoPakistani does not accept applications, documents or fees.
Keep the deadline separate from the test date
11 November is the application closing date. The screening date is covered by a separate SPSC notice, so an application deadline should not be read as an admission slip or venue allocation. Before paying or submitting, open the original amendment using the official-source button and check the SPSC homepage for a later extension or correction. This explainer was checked against the original two-page Advertisement 04/2026 and the one-page amendment, not a third-party jobs repost.
