What is AJKPSC?
The Azad Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (AJKPSC) is a government body in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan, tasked with recruiting civil servants and bureaucrats for various public sector roles. Established in 1950 under the AJK government’s Rules of Business and formalized by the AJK Public Service Commission Act of 1986, it ensures merit-based selections through exams, interviews, and tests. Headquartered in Muzaffarabad since 1967, it operates independently under the President of AJK, who appoints the chairman, with members advised by the Prime Minister. Its core functions include advising on recruitment methods, qualifications, promotions, and handling referrals from the AJK government. The official site, www.ajkpsc.gov.pk, hosts all key resources.
