FPSC postpones interviews in Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar over security

The Federal Public Service Commission has postponed interviews scheduled for 24 and 25 September 2026 at its centres in Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar, citing road closures and the prevailing law and order situation. The commission, which conducts examinations and interviews for recruitment to federal civil services and other government posts, said the decision was taken to avoid difficulties for candidates travelling to interview centres.

According to a public notice issued by the FPSC, road closures and blocked routes in the federal capital and other parts of the country made it difficult for candidates to reach the interview centres. ARY News reported that all interviews for the two days were postponed. ProPakistani reported that the postponement covered several interview programmes, specifically Interview Programmes 120/2026 to 124/2026, and said the decision was made because of road closures and the current law and order situation.

ProPakistani reported that Programme 124/2026 in Peshawar was for Senior Elementary Teacher (Female), BS-16, at Islamabad Model Schools under the Federal Directorate of Education. The September 24 schedule included eight candidates from Biology, Zoology and Botany at 9:30am, followed by eight English candidates at 9:45am, two Chemistry candidates at 10:00am, two Urdu candidates at 10:30am, three Physics candidates at 11:00am, and four Computer Science candidates at 11:45am. All of these interviews now stand postponed, according to the notice.

The commission said new dates for the postponed interviews would be announced later and that candidates would be informed about the revised schedule. It did not specify when the revised dates would be communicated.
