SPSC CCE 2026 Last Date Extended to 23 November in Sindh, Age Now Counted on 23 October

The upper age limit is still 33. What moved is the date on which your age is measured. Counting on 23 October makes some candidates up to 19 days younger on paper, so a small group who turned 34 in late October or early November is back inside the limit. If you already applied, you do not apply again, but you can upload any missing documents before the new closing date.

SPSC changed the CCE-2026 age date and closing date on 13 November

Advertisement 08/2026 amends Advertisement 06/2026 of 23 October. It moves the age cut-off from 11 November to 23 October 2026, keeps the online portal open until 5:00 pm on 23 November, and confirms the 28 November screening test.

A public notice of the same date explains the choice of day. The Sindh cabinet approved the age relaxation on 20 October 2026, and the amendment to the SPSC Recruitment Management Regulations 2023 was notified on 23 October 2026. SPSC now counts age from the day the rule took legal effect.

Who gains from the new 23 October age date

Candidates born between 24 October and 11 November 1992 gain. Under the old date they were already 34 on 11 November 2026. On 23 October 2026 they were still 33, so they now meet the upper limit and can apply by 23 November.

Take a candidate born on 1 November 1992. On 11 November 2026 that person was 34 years and 10 days old, which was over the limit. On 23 October 2026 the same person was 33 years and about 11 months old. That is inside the limit.

The corrigendum moves the cut-off date for "reckoning the age of candidates", not only the upper limit. Read with the same date, candidates born between 24 October and 11 November 2005 were still 20 on 23 October 2026, one year short of the minimum age of 21. If your birthday falls in that window, raise it with SPSC before you pay the fee. The rules on which document fixes your date of birth are in our guide to SPSC age rules.

What to do before 5:00 pm on 23 November

New applicants register and apply online, then pay the fee through a PSID. Earlier applicants only log in to upload any document they missed. SPSC accepts no manual forms, and the portal closes at 5:00 pm on the closing day.

1. Open the SPSC candidate portal from spsc.gov.pk and sign in, or create an account if you are new.
2. Check your date of birth against 23 October 2026: you must be at least 21 and not more than 33 on that day.
3. New applicants fill in the CCE-2026 form and generate a PSID for the fee.
4. Pay the PSID through internet banking, a mobile wallet or a bank using the 1Bill option.
5. Earlier applicants upload any deficient documents. Do not submit a second application.
6. Save the submitted form and the paid challan as PDF files.

The fee and payment method stay as set in the August advertisement. Our guide to paying job test fees through PSID and 1Bill covers each payment channel. Upload tips for the portal are in SPSC candidate portal uploads.

The CCE-2026 screening test stays on 28 November

SPSC holds the CCE-2026 screening test on Saturday 28 November 2026, five days after applications close. New applicants and earlier applicants sit the same test. The pass mark of 33% with negative marking, set in Advertisement 06/2026, is unchanged.

Five days is a short gap. Admission slips usually appear in the candidate account before the test, so keep your login handy. Paper pattern, centres and the slip download steps are in our page on the SPSC CCE-2026 screening test. The earlier rule changes, including five attempts and the 66 out of 200 pass mark, are explained in our report on Advertisement 06/2026.

Rules that do not change with Advertisement 08/2026

Everything else in Advertisements 04/2026 and 06/2026 still applies. Domicile, PRC Form-D, urban or rural quota and exam centre cannot be changed after the closing date. A wrong CNIC number or date of birth on the form leads to rejection.

• Upper age 33 and lower age 21, both counted on 23 October 2026.
• Five attempts allowed, as relaxed by Advertisement 06/2026.
• Screening pass mark 33% (66 of 200), with 0.25 marks off for each wrong answer.
• Online applications only, through the SPSC portal.

Domicile and quota rules are explained in SPSC domicile and PRC rules.
