SPSC College Education Written Test on 16 November 2026: 204 Candidates, 7 Posts, Roll Numbers and Times

SPSC will hold a descriptive written test for seven College Education posts on Monday 16 November 2026 at its head office on Thandi Sarak, Hyderabad. 204 candidates are called. Four papers start at 10:00 am and three at 2:00 pm. All seven posts come from Advertisement No. 03/2026.

The Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) issued the time table on 5 November 2026, under notice No. PSC/EXAM(S.S)/2026/495. We downloaded the scanned notice on 6 November and read every row. The posts are professor, associate professor and assistant professor jobs in Sindh's government colleges, in Zoology, Chemistry, Sociology, Political Science and Physics.

Seven College Education papers are set for 16 November 2026

The test is a "pre-interview written test", which means you must pass it to reach the SPSC interview. SPSC calls it a descriptive exam, so you write answers in your own words rather than marking multiple choice bubbles. Find your post and roll number range below.

"M/F" means the post is open to both men and women. Every paper is at the same centre: Head Office, Sindh Public Service Commission, Thandi Sarak, Hyderabad.

Assistant Professor Physics has the biggest group, with 71 candidates

The seven posts draw very different numbers. Assistant Professor Physics has 71 candidates, more than a third of the day's total. Professor Chemistry has 56. Associate Professor Sociology has only 9.

The scale tells you the level of each job. BS-18 is the assistant professor level, BS-19 is associate professor and BS-20 is full professor. BS stands for Basic Scale, the government pay scale. So the morning sitting is for the senior posts, and the afternoon sitting is for the entry teaching posts.

The two science subjects, Physics and Chemistry, have the two biggest groups on this time table, 127 candidates between them. Sociology and Political Science draw smaller groups at every level. The notice does not say how many posts each subject has, so a big group does not by itself mean a hard contest.

We added up the rows ourselves. The morning sitting has 92 candidates across four posts. The afternoon sitting has 112 across three. Together that is 204.

The roll number ranges also leave small gaps. For example, the Zoology range ends at 14255 and Chemistry starts at 14261. A roll number in one of those gaps is not on this time table. If yours falls in a gap, check your admission slip and contact SPSC before the day.

Bring your slip and arrive early for electronic attendance

SPSC said on 3 November that it will take electronic attendance in all descriptive exams to stop impersonation. This is one of the first descriptive tests since then. Our report on SPSC electronic attendance explains what that means at the gate.

Use this plan for the day.

1. Find your post and check that your roll number falls inside its range.
2. Download your admission slip from the SPSC candidate portal before 16 November.
3. Note your time: 10:00 am for the professor and associate professor papers, 2:00 pm for assistant professors.
4. Reach Thandi Sarak well before your paper, with your original CNIC and the slip.
5. Leave extra time at the gate for electronic attendance.

The notice itself does not list what to bring. Carry the slip and your original CNIC as a minimum. If the slip lists more, follow the slip. Our guide on roll number slip download shows where to find it.

What happens after the written test

SPSC publishes a written result for each post, then calls the candidates who pass to an interview. Recent College Education results show how hard these tests can be. On 3 November, 44 candidates passed Associate Professor Botany, while nobody passed Senior Instructor Mathematics. That result is in our page on the SPSC written result of 3 November.

When your result comes, the next step is usually documents and an interview. Our guide on checking an SPSC result shows where results appear. The interview papers are listed in documents for an SPSC interview.

What we checked and sources

On 6 November 2026 we read the SPSC home page and downloaded the scanned time table for various College Education posts, notice No. PSC/EXAM(S.S)/2026/495 dated 5 November 2026. The totals for each sitting are our own sums of the notice's rows. The notice gives no reporting time, paper length or list of items to bring.
