Most job advertisements chase young applicants. NSPP Lahore Jobs 2026 do the opposite. The National School of Public Policy has opened two Dean posts in Lahore, and both posts carry an age band of 45 to 62 years on the date of applying. That band alone tells a reader who this round is for. It is a senior leadership round, built for scholars and practitioners with long careers behind them, and it will close to almost every early career reader by design.
The advertisement appeared in the Daily Express on 28 October 2026. Both posts sit on the Management Position MP-I package, on an initial 3 year contract that can extend by two terms of 1 year each. Applications go by post to the Additional Director for Human Resources at NSPP Lahore, after downloading the prescribed form and the detailed job description from the NSPP site. The closing date is 14 November 2026.
Job Overview
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Organization | National School of Public Policy, Lahore |
| Location | Lahore |
| Posted Date | 28 October 2026 |
| Last Date | 14 November 2026 |
| Total Posts | 2 |
| Education | MPhil or Master of Arts in a relevant field from an HEC recognized institute |
| Application Mode | By post after downloading the form from NSPP site |
| Official Website | NSPP site |
Vacant Positions
| Post Name | BPS or Scale | Number of Posts | Education | Age Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dean, Pakistan Administrative Staff College (PASC) | MP-I | 1 | MPhil or Master of Arts in Public Policy, Economics, Finance, Management, Public Administration, HR Development, Law, Strategic and Security Studies, History, Political Science, International Relations, or relevant Social Sciences | 45 to 62 years |
| Dean, Executive Development Institute (EDI) | MP-I | 1 | MPhil or Master of Arts in the same relevant fields from an HEC recognized institute | 45 to 62 years |
The gap between the two posts is the most interesting detail in the advertisement. The PASC Dean post asks for 22 years of research, training or teaching experience from an HEC recognized institution, or 22 years of professional or practical experience in the relevant field. The EDI Dean post asks for 15 years on the same basis. That 7 year gap means the two posts are not twins. A candidate with 16 years of strong experience may fit the EDI post while falling short of the PASC post, and a candidate should not treat a rejection risk for one post as a rejection risk for both. The skill notes also differ in emphasis. The PASC Dean must design and deliver leadership training courses for senior public sector executives, while the EDI Dean must design and deliver knowledge and skill enhancement programs for senior leadership, facilitate policy discussions and generate reports. Both posts need excellent communication and interpersonal skills. For more academic openings, see the Teaching Jobs archive on KomviPz.

Important Notes
No TA or DA will be paid for attending the interview. NSPP reserves the right to increase, decrease or cancel any advertised post. Shortlisted candidates must produce original documents with one set of attested photocopies at interview time. The interview venue for shortlisted candidates is the National School of Public Policy, care of Pakistan Administrative Staff College, Mall Road, Lahore.
