Lahore College For Women University (LCWU) is hiring four support staff positions on a Contingent Paid Staff / Daily Wages basis, and there’s one detail buried in the header that changes how you should think about this job entirely: the appointment period is stated as 89 days. This isn’t a typo or an odd formatting choice — it’s a specifically calculated duration, and it’s almost certainly kept just under the 90-day mark that would otherwise trigger regularization or benefit entitlements under standard contingent-staff rules. If you’re applying here, go in understanding this is a short, fixed 89-day engagement, not an open-ended temporary role that might extend indefinitely.
The Four Positions
Photographer
- Qualification: Matriculation from a recognized Board/Institution
- Requirement: First-hand experience and knowledge of photographic chemicals and modern techniques of laboratory processing, developing, enlarging, re-touching, and finishing
- Experience: 3 years as Press Photographer in a Public Sector Institution preferred
- Age: 18–30 years
Junior Clerk
- Qualification: Higher Secondary School Certificate (2nd division) from a recognized Board
- Requirement: A typing speed of 25 WPM on computer in English; proficiency in Microsoft Office or any other compatible office application, which the candidate must demonstrate
- Age: 18–30 years
Sanitary Worker
- Qualification: Literate
- Age: 18–30 years
Naib Qasid
- Qualification: Literate
- Age: 18–30 years
The Photographer Post Is More Specialized Than It Looks
At first glance “Photographer” might read as a fairly generic role, but the actual requirement is quite specific: hands-on knowledge of photographic chemicals and darkroom-style processing — developing, enlarging, re-touching, and finishing — the kind of technical, physical darkroom skill set that’s becoming rarer as photography has shifted digital. Combined with the preference for 3 years’ experience specifically as a Press Photographer in a public sector institution, this isn’t an entry-level photography job; it’s looking for someone with traditional lab-processing experience plus institutional press work. If your photography background is purely digital/social-media-era work, this particular post may not be the fit it appears to be on the surface.
The Junior Clerk’s Typing Test Requirement Is Concrete, Not Just a Preference
Unlike many ads that list “computer proficiency” as a vague soft requirement, this one specifies an exact benchmark: 25 words per minute typing speed in English, and states the candidate “shall demonstrate such proficiency” — meaning this will likely be tested directly rather than taken on your word or CV claim. Worth practicing to that specific speed benchmark before applying if you’re not confident you’d hit it under test conditions.
How to Apply
Applications along with attested copies of documents (educational certificates, domicile, and other testimonials) must reach the university by 05-10-2026.

Only shortlisted candidates will be called for test/interview, and no TA/DA will be paid for appearing.
