Expected Recruitment: FPSC regularly announces teaching posts for Federal Government Educational Institutions (FGEI) through its consolidated advertisements. As a result, going by previous years, more SST (Secondary School Teacher) vacancies are expected in upcoming ads. Therefore, if you’re serious about a federal teaching job, don’t wait for the official announcement — preparation takes months, and the written test usually follows soon after the ad.
A federal teaching post is one of the most stable careers in Pakistan — BS-17 pay scale, government allowances, and postings in well-maintained cantonment schools across the country. In fact, FPSC already announced SST vacancies earlier in 2026, and another round is expected. So this guide covers everything you need to start preparing right now: who can apply, what the test looks like, and exactly how the application process works.

FPSC is strict about eligibility — consequently, if you don’t meet every condition, your application gets rejected before the test. Here’s the standard framework from previous SST advertisements:
FPSC shortlists candidates through a 100-mark MCQ screening test. Although the exact syllabus is published with each advertisement, previous SST papers have generally followed this split:

Once the official advertisement is published, the process moves fast — indeed, ads usually close within 2 to 3 weeks. Therefore, here’s exactly what to do:
Yes. FPSC requires B.Ed or M.Ed alongside your master’s degree for teaching posts. However, candidates with a 16-year degree in Education itself are exempt. In short, without it, you won’t be shortlisted.
FPSC hasn’t announced a date yet. Nevertheless, based on the 2026 recruitment cycle so far, another teaching round is expected later this year. So keep checking fpsc.gov.pk instead of trusting rumors.
The screening test is 100 MCQs, usually split into English (20 marks), subject knowledge (50 marks), and pedagogy/professional test (30 marks). Still, the official syllabus is confirmed with each advertisement.
