Application Procedure and Fee

Candidates who have qualified in MPT-2027 must log in with their existing MPT login and password through the “Apply Online” link at www.fpsc.gov.pk. They must complete their profile and generate a 16-digit Payment Slip ID (PSID) to pay the examination fee of Rs. 2,200 before 25 November 2026. A PSID is mandatory for online payment.

The fee may be paid through the 1-Link facility using ATMs, mobile banking applications such as Easypaisa and JazzCash, internet banking, or over the counter at any 1-Link member bank against the PSID. Payments through the old FPSC Challan Form TR-6, cheque, bank draft or pay order will not be accepted.

After paying through the PSID, candidates must log in again through “Apply Online” and enter the remaining required details to complete their application. Fee payment alone does not constitute application submission. Candidates must select their optional subjects in accordance with Appendix-I, occupational groups and examination centre after payment. Following submission, they must confirm that their application appears in “Application History”. No changes will be allowed later.

A signed hard copy of the online application, together with attested copies of educational documents, CNIC and domicile, and four photographs, must reach FPSC before 4 December 2026. Documents received after the deadline will not be accepted.
