The Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council (PVMC) — an autonomous body operating under the Federal Government — has announced two vacancies: Driver and Sweeper. The advertisement, reference PID(I)2752/26, was published in daily Express on 26 September 2026.
Applications are invited from Pakistani Nationals for these posts on a regular basis — worth flagging upfront, since a regular-basis appointment at a federal autonomous body is a different proposition from the many contract-basis PSDP-project posts that have appeared in recent notices. A regular post typically means the position isn’t tied to a project timeline, and doesn’t automatically end when a specific project or scheme concludes.
PVMC itself functions as the federal regulatory body responsible for the veterinary profession in Pakistan — its role includes registering veterinarians, accrediting veterinary education, and setting professional standards nationwide. That’s useful context for understanding the kind of institution these two support-staff posts sit within, even though neither the Driver nor Sweeper role interacts directly with PVMC’s regulatory functions.
Two Different Domicile Requirements
Worth noting straight away: the two posts carry different domicile requirements, and this distinction matters for who can actually apply to each. The Driver post is open on a merit basis, with no domicile restriction stated — meaning candidates from anywhere in Pakistan can apply, provided they meet the qualification and licensing requirements. The Sweeper post, by contrast, is restricted specifically to candidates holding local Islamabad domicile. A candidate based outside Islamabad, however qualified, would not be eligible for the Sweeper post under this ad’s stated terms — but could still apply for the Driver post.
Positions and Eligibility
Driver (BPS-04)
- Qualification: Primary pass, with a valid driving license
- Requirement: Well-versed in traffic rules
- Domicile: Merit basis — no specific domicile restriction
- Age: 18–30 years
- Vacancies: 01
Sweeper (BPS-01)
- Qualification: Primary pass
- Domicile: Local Islamabad domicile required
- Age: 18–25 years
- Vacancies: 01
Both posts set a relatively low formal educational bar — Primary pass — which is standard for support-staff grades at this scale (BPS-01 and BPS-04). The Driver post’s real qualifying factor isn’t the educational requirement but the valid driving license and practical familiarity with traffic rules, which effectively narrows the applicant pool more than the stated Primary-pass line suggests on its own.
Terms and Conditions
Applications must reach the undersigned within 15 days of the advertisement’s publication, along with attested copies of credentials/documents, a brief Curriculum Vitae (CV), and two recent passport-sized photographs.
A demand draft or pay order amounting to Rs. 1,000/- (non-refundable), in the name of PVMC Islamabad, must be attached with the application. PVMC’s FTN number is 9011408-6 — this should be referenced on the payment instrument itself, not just mentioned in a cover letter.
A few procedural points worth reading carefully: only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for test/interview, so applicants shouldn’t expect individual rejection notices if they aren’t selected. Applicants currently serving in government, semi-government, or autonomous bodies must apply through proper channel — meaning the application needs to be routed via their existing department rather than submitted directly. Age relaxation will be given as per Government Rules, though the exact relaxation duration isn’t specified in this particular notice. No TA/DA will be admissible for appearing in test/interview, which is standard across most government recruitment of this kind.
How to Apply
Send your application, CV, attested documents, photographs, and the Rs. 1,000/- demand draft/pay order to:
Dr. Shabnum Firdous, Secretary/Registrar, Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council, 41-Mauve Area, G-10/4, Islamabad. Phone: 051-9108340-41. Website: www.pvmc.gov.pk.
Application deadline: within 15 days of publication — approximately 11 October 2026, calculated from the 26 September 2026 publication date. The ad itself doesn’t print a fixed calendar closing date, so candidates should confirm the exact cutoff against the original printed notice or by contacting PVMC directly, particularly since a late submission under a strict 15-day rule leaves little margin for error.
Similar federal autonomous-body and support-staff government vacancies are collected under Government Jobs.
Details above are taken from the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council advertisement published in daily Express on 26 September 2026. The closing date is calculated from a stated 15-day window rather than a printed date — confirm current status at www.pvmc.gov.pk before applying.
