The Punjab Enforcement and Regulatory Authority (PERA) has announced 110 contract jobs in Lahore and across Punjab. The posts include IT roles such as AI/ML and Full Stack Team Leads, and 100 “Internal Affairs” posts in district offices. Applications are online only, and the last date is 29 October 2026.
The job notice does not print the degree, experience or age conditions. It sends you to the PERA website for those. So the most important step in this article is the “Before you apply” section below.
Please note: We are not PERA. This article summarises the notice reported by ProPakistani (15 October 2026) and the Eduvision copy of the advertisement. One source says the notice mentions 112 jobs, while the listed posts add up to 110. Check the final number on the official advertisement. Never pay anyone for a government job.

Before You Apply: What Is Not Stated
The advertisement lists the qualification only as “varying level.” It does not print the minimum degree, experience or age limit in the copies we reviewed. Do this first:
- Open the PERA website (pera.punjab.gov.pk) and read the job description of your post.
- Note the required degree, years of experience and age limit. If they do not match yours, save your time for another job.
- Check if the post asks for a specific skill (for example AI/ML or Full Stack for the Team Lead roles).
How to Apply
- Go to the Punjab Job Portal and create or log in to your account.
- Find the PERA advertisement and choose your post.
- Fill in your details and upload your educational documents, experience certificates and other required papers.
- Check the whole form, submit it and save the confirmation.
Incomplete applications will not be considered, and applications by any other method are not accepted. Scan your papers clearly before you start. Our guide on documents required for government jobs shows what to prepare.
For government employees
If you already work in a government department, apply through proper channel and keep a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your parent department ready for the interview.
How to Prepare
This is our own suggestion, not an official syllabus.
- IT posts: update your portfolio and GitHub, and be ready to explain a real project you built.
- Internal Affairs and Audit posts: revise basic law-and-rules knowledge, report writing and Excel.
- Prepare answers for common interview questions and keep your CV short and clear. Our CV guide with a free template can help.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying without reading the job description on the PERA website.
- Uploading blurry or incomplete documents.
- Waiting for the last day. Portals get slow near the deadline.
- Trusting “agents” who promise a PERA job for money. The process is through the Punjab Job Portal only.
