The Inspectorate General of Sindh Prisons & Corrections Service has opened applications for Assistant Sub Inspector Prison, published in The News on August 14, 2026. Unlike most admin or clerical postings, this one comes with a physical fitness standard attached to the academic qualification — so meeting the education requirement alone won’t get you through.
The Two Posts on Offer
| Post | BPS | Posts | Age (Min–Max) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assistant Sub Inspector Prison | BS-11 | 23 | 21–28 |
| Lady Assistant Sub Inspector Prison | BS-11 | 2 | 21–28 |
Both require at least a second division Bachelor’s degree from an HEC-recognized university — no specific subject is mentioned, so this is open across disciplines.
The Physical Standard You Can’t Skip
This is the part that separates this listing from a typical desk job posting, and it’s worth reading carefully before you invest time in the application:
- Height: 5 feet 5 inches
- Chest: 33 inches, with a minimum 1.5-inch expansion
- Vision: 6/6 in both eyes
- Fitness test: Complete a 1.6-kilometer run within 7 minutes
Candidates who clear the written test through PTS will then be called separately for this physical test — so it’s a two-stage filter, not a one-time interview. If you’re not currently meeting the running-time benchmark, that’s worth training toward before the call comes, since there’s no indication of retests being offered.

How to Apply — Through PTS, With a Specific Fee Process
Applications go through the Pakistan Testing Service (PTS) portal at www.pts.org.pk, and the process has a detail many applicants get wrong:
- Deposit a non-refundable Rs. 1,600 registration fee at any HBL branch nationwide, using the fee slip available on the PTS website
- Scan the original paid deposit slip clearly — PTS explicitly warns that blurry or unclear images will be rejected
- Upload that scanned slip through the PTS Data Entry Portal along with your online application
No documents should be sent by courier at this stage — PTS only processes applications submitted online with a valid, clearly scanned fee deposit slip.
Deadline for online submission and fee slip upload: September 4, 2026.
Other Conditions to Know
- Only candidates with domicile of Sindh Province are eligible
- Original certificate verification happens only for candidates called for interview — a false declaration at that stage means automatic disqualification, at any point in the process
- Applicants already serving in government departments can apply, but must go through proper channel
- No TA/DA is paid for the written test or interview
- Minority quota is observed as per Government of Sindh policy
- There’s no relaxation in the upper age limit, unlike some other government postings that allow exceptions
- The department can increase or decrease the number of posts at its discretion
- Selected candidates undergo training and may be posted anywhere in Sindh — not necessarily Karachi
