Lecturer Political Science

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified individuals holding an M.A. in Political Science (with at least 55% marks) and a B.Ed degree with Political Science or related subjects. Candidates must have studied Political Science at the graduation level for three years. This is an excellent opportunity for those aspiring to a permanent Group-B government teaching position within the Punjab state education system, offering a stable career path and a respectable pay scale. Candidates who meet the specific age limits and educational criteria, particularly those from Punjab's reserved categories, will find this a highly advantageous opportunity.

Individuals lacking the mandatory M.A. in Political Science and B.Ed qualifications should not apply. Those who have not studied Political Science as an elective subject for three years at the graduation level are also ineligible. Applicants who do not meet the age criteria as of January 1, 2026, including specific relaxations, will not be considered. The application fee is substantial (Rs. 2000 for general, Rs. 1000 for reserved categories), which might be a dealbreaker for some if they do not meet all criteria.
