PECTAA has completed the competitive recruitment process for its Director posts, and the list of selected candidates is out. Seven positions have been filled — covering everything from Assessment & Examination to Curriculum, Training and Procurement. The complete official list is given in the table below, exactly as notified by the authority.
These appointments matter more than a routine government hiring notice. The people named here will directly shape how the Grade 5 and Grade 8 exams are designed, how teachers get trained, and how the new Punjab curriculum takes shape — so if your child appears in a PECTAA exam in 2027, these are the officers running the system behind it.

What These Posts Actually Do
A quick translation of the post titles, because government designations rarely explain themselves. The Director (Assessment & Examination) oversees the Grade 5 and 8 exams — paper setting, conduct and results. Director (Curriculum & Compliance) looks after what is taught in schools and whether textbooks and teaching follow it. Director (Training & Certification) runs teacher training programs and the certification unit, while Director (Outreach, Research & Development) handles research partnerships — like PECTAA’s recent collaboration with Aitchison College. The remaining posts cover procurement, school environment, and staffing — the operational backbone of the authority.
What Happens Next
Selected candidates typically receive formal offer letters and joining instructions from the authority. Since the hiring is on a lump sum (contract) basis, these are fixed-package positions rather than regular government scale posts. If you appeared in this recruitment process and your name is not on the list, keep an eye on PECTAA’s official announcements — authorities sometimes issue waiting lists or fill additional posts from the same process.
