KPPSC Test Schedule 2026 – Physical, Written & Interview Dates

Physical tests, written exams, and interviews organized by post and advertisement number, updated as KPPSC announces new schedules.

Last updated: September 2026. This page tracks confirmed test dates for candidates who have already applied. It is not a list of new job openings.

Once you've applied for a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission post, the advertisement itself doesn't tell you when your test will happen — that comes later, in a separate schedule notice issued once shortlisting is complete. KPPSC publishes these schedules on a rolling basis throughout the year, organized by advertisement number and serial/case number, which means candidates often have to search through multiple individual notices just to find their own test date.

This page brings those schedules together in one place — physical tests, written exams, and interviews — organized by post and advertisement number, updated as KPPSC announces new ones. Whether you're checking a physical standard test date, confirming a written exam schedule, or looking for interview timing, this is meant to be a single reference point rather than something you have to piece together from scattered notices.

This page is specifically for candidates who have already applied and are tracking a confirmed test date — it is not a list of new job openings. If you're looking for posts currently open for application, see our Latest Jobs page. For the full picture of KPPSC eligibility, syllabus, and preparation strategy, see the KPPSC Exam Guide.

If you don't see your specific post listed yet, check directly with KPPSC's official website, since this table reflects a subset of schedules we've verified, not a real-time feed of every notice KPPSC issues.

Types of KPPSC Tests You Might Be Scheduled For

Depending on your post, you may be scheduled for one or more of the following stages, generally in this order:

Written Test

Most general recruitment and BPS-scale posts start here: an objective MCQ-based paper (or, for select posts, a subjective component) covering the subjects specified in your post's syllabus. See our KPPSC Exam Guide for how syllabus and pattern vary by post.

Physical Test

Reserved for posts with a defined physical standard, typically law-enforcement-adjacent and certain administrative or field posts. This usually involves height and chest measurements against a set standard, a vision check, and confirmation of general medical fitness — as reflected in the current schedule entry above.

Interview

For most posts that clear the written and/or physical stage, an interview follows, generally assessing communication ability, relevant knowledge, and general suitability for the role.

Not every post goes through all three stages, and the order or combination can vary — always follow what's specified in your own advertisement and schedule notice rather than assuming a fixed universal sequence.

What a Physical Test Schedule Typically Requires

Based on how KPPSC physical test notices are generally structured, expect requirements along these lines (exact standards vary by post and are specified in your individual notice):

  • Physical measurementsheight and chest measurement (with and without expansion) checked against the standard set for that specific post.
  • Vision standardoften requiring a certificate from a Services or DHQ hospital confirming eyesight meets the required standard without glasses, arranged in advance of the test date.
  • General medical fitnessa declaration or certification of being free from disqualifying disabilities, usually obtained alongside the vision certificate.
  • Call letter and CNICa printed call letter/roll number slip along with your original CNIC are typically mandatory for entry to the test venue; candidates without both are usually not permitted to appear.

A Practical Checklist Before Your Test Day

Regardless of test type, these steps reduce the chance of an avoidable problem on the day itself:

  • Download and print your call letter/roll number slip from KPPSC's official website as soon as it's uploaded — don't wait until the last day.
  • If your post requires a medical or vision certificate, book your hospital appointment well ahead of time, since these can take longer to arrange than expected.
  • Confirm your exact venue and reporting time from the official notice, and plan to arrive with buffer time, particularly for venues in cities you're not familiar with.
  • Carry your original CNIC — not a photocopy — along with your printed call letter.
  • If you haven't received any confirmation close to your expected test window, don't assume you've been excluded — contact KPPSC's office directly to confirm your status rather than missing the test on an assumption.

How to Stay Updated Between Now and Your Test

  • Check KPPSC's official website regularly, particularly its schedules section, since call letters and roll number slips are uploaded there directly.
  • Don't rely solely on SMS or email — KPPSC's own notices generally advise candidates who don't receive intimation through these channels to confirm their status independently.
  • Contact KPPSC's office directly using the phone numbers or contact details provided in your specific schedule notice if you have any doubt about your status.
  • Cross-check third-party sources (including this page) against KPPSC's official website before finalizing travel or leave arrangements, since official notices are the only authoritative source for your exact date, time, and venue.

Preparing for Your Test in the Time You Have Left

How you use your remaining time depends on which stage you're preparing for:

  • Physical test: Prioritize anything that needs advance scheduling — particularly vision and medical certification — well before the test date, since these can't be arranged the night before.
  • Written test: Subject-wise practice and past papers tend to be more effective than last-minute review. Work through KPPSC MCQs by subject, and use KPPSC Past Papers to understand question style and pacing before your date. Once you're comfortable with the basics, KPPSC Online Tests help build exam-day speed under timed conditions.
  • Interview: Review your academic background and stay current on relevant developments, since interviews typically follow the written or physical stage for eligible candidates.
