Because the 78 seats are spread across 40 positions, the post-wise seat count differs from post to post — check the exact seat count, qualification and experience requirement for your chosen serial number on ai.punjab.gov.pk or the Punjab Job Portal before applying. Do not assume every position carries more than one seat.
Eligibility: Who Can Apply
- Professional and technical posts: a relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree (16 years of education) in IT, computer science, AI, data science, public policy, economics, business, law or a related field, plus the professional experience stated for that post. Required experience ranges from around 1 year for junior and support roles up to 12 years for the Chief Operating Officer / Delivery Unit Head.
- Support posts: Middle, Matric or Intermediate qualifications for drivers, clerical staff and office attendants, as specified post-wise.
- Foreign-qualified candidates with a proven track record may be preferred for relevant posts.
- All posts are Lahore-based — candidates must be willing to work in Lahore.
On salary, be precise: the advertisement describes the packages as highly competitive, but it does not publish fixed salary figures for any post. Any website or social-media post quoting an exact AIDU salary is guessing — verify the figure from the official advertisement before believing it.
How to Apply for AIDU Punjab Jobs 2026
- Find your serial number first: open the detailed job descriptions on ai.punjab.gov.pk and note the serial number (Sr. No.) of the post you want. The application route depends on it.
- Serial numbers 1 to 37 — apply online: submit your application through the Punjab Government Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk.
- Serial numbers 38 to 40 — apply by post: send your application to the Project Director, AIDU, Room 216, First Floor, New Minister Block, Lahore, following the prescribed procedure in the advertisement.
- Apply before 12 November 2026: the last date is the same for both routes. A postal application that arrives after the closing date will not count, so post early.
- Double-check the post before submitting: applying through the wrong route — online for a postal post, or postal for an online post — risks rejection, so match your serial number to the route above.
Pro Tips Before You Apply
- Apply for only the posts that match your degree field and years of experience — AIDU is hiring for immediate delivery work, and the advertisement stresses candidates who can start at once.
- Keep screenshots or printouts of your online submission, and keep the postal receipt if you apply by post.
- Apply only through jobs.punjab.gov.pk (Sr. 1–37) or the postal address above (Sr. 38–40). Anyone asking for payment for an AIDU seat is a scam — government recruitment never works that way.
