Sindh Job Portal (SJP) New Notification: Mandatory Rural/Urban Selection & Profile Correction
Latest Update: April 02, 2026 | Reported by Sindh Study Hub Team
⚠️ Urgent Action Required
The Government of Sindh has noticed that many applicants have entered incorrect District, Taluka, and Rural/Urban information on the Sindh Job Portal. Since recruitment is based on specific quotas, incorrect data will lead to automatic disqualification from upcoming SPSC and department jobs.
Why the Rural/Urban Option is Critical?
In Sindh, government job vacancies are strictly distributed between Rural (60%) and Urban (40%) quotas. If your Domicile states “Rural” but your SJP profile is set to “Urban,” you will not be eligible for seats reserved for your area. To ensure fairness, the SJP management has opened a window for profile correction.
You can manage your profile directly at the official portal: sjp.gos.pk.
