The Sindh government has approved a new policy granting five additional marks to candidates applying for Grade 5 to Grade 15 vacancies, media outlets reported on Thursday.
According to the official notification, the Departmental Selection Committee will award five extra marks to applicants whose academic score is at least 50% in aggregate.
Intermediate-pass candidates will also receive the same additional marks during the recruitment test.
The government has made it mandatory to include the five additional marks in tests conducted by IBA Sukkur, which oversees large-scale recruitment assessments in the province.
The directive applies to all provincial departments, according to the order issued by the Services, General Administration and Coordination Department. The notification was signed by Section Officer-V Sanaullah Qazi.
Officials say the policy aims to encourage merit, reward academic performance, and standardise recruitment criteria across Sindh’s government departments.
