AIDU Jobs 2026: 78 Posts in Punjab’s Artificial Intelligence Delivery Unit — Apply by 12 November

AIDU Jobs, All 40 Positions and 78 Posts, Apply Routes and Last Date
Punjab’s government is building its own artificial intelligence team — and instead of hiring a handful of officers, it has opened 78 posts in a single advertisement. The Artificial Intelligence Delivery Unit (AIDU), working under the AI Wing of the Services and General Administration Department, needs everyone from a Chief Operating Officer and AI engineers to graphic designers, drivers and office attendants.
The range is what makes this advertisement worth reading carefully. Six Pillar Head posts, six AI Product Manager posts and six Delivery Associate posts sit in the middle of the table, while the single largest count is eight Driver posts at the end. Most professional posts ask for 16 years of education with solid experience, and the unit openly offers highly competitive compensation packages — but it prints no salary figure, so judge the offer by the post, not by rumours.
This guide lists all 40 positions with their post counts, explains the qualification and experience rules, and separates the two application routes — online through the Punjab Job Portal for positions 1 to 37, and by post for the three support positions 38 to 40 — before the last date, Thursday 12 November 2026.
AIDU Jobs 2026 at a Glance
AIDU is a new delivery unit of the Government of the Punjab, established under the Artificial Intelligence Wing of S&GAD. All posts are based in Lahore, and the advertisement (Daily Jang, 21 October 2026, reference IPL-11159) fills the whole unit in one round — leadership, engineering, product, design, support and field staff together.
Two things in this advertisement are unusual and worth noting before you apply. The advertisement prints no age limit for any post — selection rests on education and experience alone — and it prints no application fee. Keep both points in mind if any website tells you otherwise.

All 40 Positions and 78 Posts
The 40 positions fall into clear groups. Leadership carries only three posts but the deepest experience bars in the advertisement — 10 to 12 years. The biggest group is the pillar, product and delivery block with 18 posts, followed by the admin and support group, also 18 posts, which includes the eight Driver posts.
Read the group table to find where your field sits, then check the detailed qualification of your exact post in the advertisement or the job descriptions at ai.punjab.gov.pk before applying. Counts in this table add up to the advertised total of 78 posts.

Qualification and Experience Rules
Almost every professional post needs 16 years of education — a bachelor’s or master’s degree in the relevant field from an HEC-recognized university. Experience is the real filter: leadership posts demand 10 to 12 years, engineering and data posts mostly 4 to 8 years of hands-on production work, and the delivery block 3 to 5 years, preferably in consulting firms, delivery units or government programmes.
The support posts follow a different scale. Drivers need Middle or Matric with a valid LTV licence (HTV preferred) and at least three years of driving experience; clerical staff need Intermediate with basic computer proficiency and typing; office attendants need Middle or Matric. For most professional posts, the advertisement gives preference to foreign-qualified candidates with a proven track record — but it invites every eligible candidate to apply. Creative posts carry one extra condition: senior graphic designers must show a portfolio, and video editors and the videographer must show a showreel. If you are exploring more technology-sector openings, our CM Punjab IT Internship guide covers the province’s other big tech programme.
Documents to Attach With Your Application
Online applicants attach scanned copies on the Punjab Job Portal itself, and postal applicants send the same papers with their application. Prepare clean, readable scans before you start the form — the portal application is your whole record, and an unreadable attachment is treated like a missing one.
Your set should carry your CNIC, your educational certificates and degrees, and your experience letters for the years your post demands. Design and video applicants must also attach portfolio or showreel links. Candidates for the finance posts holding CA, ACCA, ACMA or CPA qualifications should attach their professional membership or finalist proof, because the advertisement accepts those qualifications in place of a master’s degree for those posts.
- Scanned copy of your CNIC.
- Educational certificates and degrees from HEC-recognized institutions.
- Experience letters covering the years your post requires.
- Portfolio or showreel links, for the design and video posts.
- Professional qualification proof (CA/ACCA/ACMA/CPA), for finance and audit posts where applicable.
How to Apply Online (Positions 1 to 37)
Positions at serial numbers 01 to 37 — every post except Driver, Clerical Staff and Office Attendant — are applied for online only, through the Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk. Open the portal, find your AIDU post, and fill the online form carefully; the information you type there is what the shortlisting is done on.
Attach the scanned documents listed above inside the portal before submitting, and submit well before the last date rather than on the final evening — the unit will not consider incomplete applications or applications received after 12 November 2026. After submitting, save a copy or screenshot of your submitted application for your own record. More current openings are listed on our Punjab government jobs hub.
How Support Posts Apply by Post (Positions 38 to 40)
The last three positions in the advertisement — Driver, Clerical Staff and Office Attendant (Naib Qasid) — do not apply online. For these posts, prepare a written application with your documents and send it by post to the Project Director, AIDU, AI Wing, S&GAD, Room 206, First Floor, New Minister Block, Lahore.
Your application must reach the office by Thursday, 12 November 2026 — posting it on the last date is not enough, because late applications are not considered. Write your post name clearly on the application, attach your CNIC, education papers and, for drivers, a copy of your valid LTV licence, and keep your courier or registry receipt safe until the process is complete.
Salary and Job Descriptions
The advertisement offers “highly competitive compensation packages” in its own words, but it prints no salary figure for any post. Treat any exact salary claim for AIDU posts on other websites with care — the unit has simply not published numbers, and the package for your post will be settled through the recruitment process itself.
What the unit has published is the work itself: detailed job descriptions for every position are available on the unit’s website, ai.punjab.gov.pk. Read the job description of your post before applying — it states the exact responsibilities and expectations the shortlisting panel will test you against at interview, and it is the best preparation document available for these posts.
Important Instructions for Applicants
AIDU’s own instructions in the advertisement are short and strict, and they apply equally to the online and postal routes. The key ones are listed below — an application that breaks any of them is simply not considered.
For queries, the advertisement gives the Project Director’s email, pd.aidu@punjab.gov.pk. Use it for genuine questions about your post or application, and keep your question short and specific. And the standing warning for every government job applies here too: the application routes are only the Punjab Job Portal and the postal address above — anyone demanding money to “arrange” an AIDU post is a fraud.
- Incomplete applications, and applications received after 12 November 2026, will not be considered.
- Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interview.
- No TA/DA is admissible for the interview — travel costs are the candidate’s own.
- The only valid application routes are the Punjab Job Portal (positions 1–37) and the postal address (positions 38–40).
