Punjab Institute of Land Management (PILM), operating under the Board of Revenue, Government of the Punjab, is hiring staff for 14 different positions on a contract basis as part of the upgradation of the Punjab Revenue Academy. Applications are open now and must reach PILM’s Lahore office by 30 April 2026. With salaries going up to Rs. 410,000 per month, the senior roles here are among the better-paying contract positions currently open in Punjab’s public sector.

JOB OVERVIEW

This recruitment drive is part of a development scheme titled “Upgradation of Punjab Revenue Academy into an Institute, i.e. Punjab Institute of Land Management (PILM).” The roles span a wide range — from senior leadership positions such as Director Admin and Finance and Director Academics, to technical roles like Information Technology Expert and Expert Land Records, to field-level positions including Patwari, Qanungo, Tehsildar, and Naib Tehsildar, and support staff like Office Boys and Caretaker. All appointments are on a contract basis.

The positions are housed at PILM’s office in Gulberg III, Lahore. The source advertisement makes clear that for several positions — particularly Tehsildar, Naib Tehsildar, Qanungo, and Patwari — candidates must already be serving in those roles within the revenue service and are being considered on a promotion or deputation basis, with minimum 20 years of total working experience required for most of these posts. This significantly narrows the eligible applicant base for a large portion of the advertised vacancies.

Nawa Verdict

Original analysis by NawaCareer editors

3/5

WORTH APPLYING?
Conditional — worth it if you meet the strict experience requirements, particularly the government service and promotion-based criteria that apply to most positions.

COMPETITION LEVEL:
Medium to High — the total number of posts is 23, but most positions carry very specific eligibility conditions tied to existing government service and promotion history. This narrows the competition for technical posts but makes many roles effectively inaccessible to general applicants.

PAY AND BENEFITS:
The salary range stated in the source advertisement runs from Rs. 40,000 per month for Office Boys to Rs. 410,000 per month for Director-level positions. Mid-tier roles such as Documentation Officer are listed at Rs. 78,650 and Caretaker at Rs. 96,000. No benefits, allowances, or additional perks are mentioned in the source advertisement. The advertisement explicitly states no TA/DA for interviews. Verify any additional benefits directly from PILM.

RED FLAGS:
The application method is physical submission only, and the source advertisement does not specify which documents to attach. This is a notable gap.
Several key positions — Tehsildar, Naib Tehsildar, Qanungo, and Patwari — require promotion from within existing government revenue service with 20 or more years of experience. These are not open general positions. If you are not already in that service chain, do not apply.
The Expert Land Records post has an age range of 55 to 75 years, which is unusual and suggests this role is intended for retired or near-retirement government officers only.
Domicile and gender requirements are not mentioned anywhere in the source advertisement.
No application form, checklist, or online portal is mentioned. The process is entirely manual with limited guidance.
PILM has explicitly reserved the right to cancel the recruitment at any stage, which introduces uncertainty.

HIDDEN BENEFITS:
This is a contract-based role under the Board of Revenue, Government of the Punjab, which carries institutional credibility and may offer networking value within Punjab's public sector ecosystem. The salaries for Director-level posts are competitive by government contract standards.

BEST FOR:
Senior public sector professionals already working in Punjab's revenue department who meet the promotion and experience criteria, and recent masters-level graduates for the Documentation Officer posts who have at least 2 years of government department experience.
