Karachi Metropolitan University (KMU) is a public-sector university established under Sindh Assembly Act No. LIV of 2023. It’s located in Block M, North Nazimabad. The university has opened a fairly wide recruitment round covering both academic and administrative roles.
One detail makes this ad worth reading carefully. It explicitly states it’s issued in supersession of the advertisement published on Monday, 31 August 2026. So if you already saw an earlier KMU job ad and started preparing based on it, treat this version as the current, official one instead.
On the teaching side, the university is hiring for Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, and Lecturer roles. These span departments including Community Medicine, Family Medicine, Business Administration, Computer Sciences, Nursing, Physical Therapy, Surgery, Medical Education, and Pharmacology. Not every department hires at every rank. For instance, Surgery only appears under the Professor level, while Pharmacology only appears at Associate Professor level. So it’s worth checking exactly which department is open at which rank before applying.
The non-teaching side is broader than what you’d typically see in a university ad, and leans heavily technical:
- Director Information Technology / CIO
- Director ORIC
- Controller of Examinations
- Manager I.T. (Information Technology)
- Manager QEC
- Resident Auditor
- I.T. Expert
- Database Administrator
- Network Administrator
- Design and Development Officer
- Software Developer
- Web Developer
- Photographer/Videographer
- Data Analyst
One thing to flag clearly: this advertisement itself does not list qualifications, experience, or age limits for any position. Instead, it directs applicants to check eligibility criteria at thekmu.edu.pk/current-jobs/. So before you prepare documents or write your CV, that’s genuinely the first step — the newspaper ad is essentially a summary announcement, not the full job description.
A few procedural details worth knowing before you apply. Applications need to include an updated CV, a recent photograph, attested educational and experience documents, a PMDC Recognition of Experience letter where required, domicile, CNIC, and two reference letters. If you’re currently working in a government or public-sector role, you’ll need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and must apply through the proper channel. KMU has also mentioned it may conduct a pre-screening test if the number of applications exceeds expectations, which suggests they’re expecting a fairly high volume for at least some of these posts.
Applications must be submitted by post only to the Registrar, Karachi Metropolitan University, ST-2, Block M, North Nazimabad, Karachi — there’s no mention of an online submission portal in this ad, so don’t waste time searching for one. Each application needs to be accompanied by a pay order of Rs. 3,000 (non-refundable) in favour of “Karachi Metropolitan University.” The closing date is 9 September 2026, and given that this is a postal submission with a specific fee requirement, it’s worth mailing your application a few days early rather than right at the deadline.
Also worth noting: KMU has reserved the right to cancel any or all advertised posts without giving a reason, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews — so don’t expect a rejection notice if you don’t hear back. No TA/DA is provided for the test or interview stage.
For candidates specifically interested in academic positions, our Teaching Jobs section covers similar university and college openings across Sindh as they’re announced.
Given how heavily this recruitment leans on IT and technical non-teaching roles alongside the usual academic posts, it’s a good example of how university hiring in Pakistan isn’t limited to faculty positions anymore — if a technical background fits you better than a teaching role, it’s worth reading the non-teaching list just as closely.
