Introduction
The Federal Public Service Commission recruits officers and staff for the federal government through open, merit-based competition. Each consolidated advertisement groups together vacancies from many departments, so one advertisement can cover doctors, engineers, auditors, teachers, researchers and administrators at the same time. Advertisement No. 4/2026 is the Commission’s fourth consolidated round this year. Selection is through an objective-type MCQ written test, tentatively starting from 2 January 2027, followed by interviews for shortlisted candidates. If you hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree and have been waiting for a federal opening, this is the round to check first — but read your own case number in the official advertisement before paying any fee, because every case has its own qualification, age limit and quota.
