The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has extended the HEC application deadline for the Pakistan Infrastructure Development Company Limited (PIDCL) Recruitment Test 2026 to Sunday, 1 November 2026. Eligible candidates who missed the earlier cut-off now have a fresh window to register online.
HEC’s Education Testing Council (ETC)—the body’s exam and testing arm—reopened its online registration portal on Monday, 26 October 2026. The revised closing date follows an earlier deadline of 19 October 2026. Officials have framed the move as another chance for people who meet the advertised criteria to seek posts at PIDCL.
How to apply before the new cut-off
Candidates complete registration on the official ETC portal at etc.hec.gov.pk. HEC has also posted the revised application period on its own website. The new window applies to the recruitment that was advertised through the Education Testing Council.
PIDCL, a government-owned public-sector company, has advertised vacancies across professional and administrative fields. Applicants must meet the educational qualifications and experience listed for the posts they choose. Before submitting forms, candidates should read the original advertisement and any later corrigenda so they apply against the correct requirements.
Timeline: what has happened so far
- 19 October 2026: Previous application deadline for the PIDCL Recruitment Test 2026.
- 26 October 2026: ETC reopens the online registration portal for seven days.
- 1 November 2026: New HEC application deadline; applications must be in by this Sunday.
What the extension does—and does not—change
The announcement concerns the application period only. It does not, on its own, spell out a new exam day or alter the substance of the advertised roles. Anyone still deciding whether to apply should treat 1 November as a firm cut-off for filing through the ETC system and should not wait for informal reminders.
