The Inspectorate General Sindh Prisons & Corrections Service is the provincial department responsible for managing correctional facilities across Sindh. The department operates major jails, including Karachi Central Prison, Hyderabad Central Prison, Sukkur Central Prison, Larkana District Prison, and correctional facilities in Mirpurkhas and across the province’s other districts.
Prison Constables are the frontline personnel of this system — responsible for the custody of inmates, maintaining order within correctional facilities, supervising prisoner movements, and supporting the rehabilitation activities that modern corrections services emphasize alongside security functions. The department’s motto — “Reforming Lives, Ensuring Security” — reflects this dual focus on both secure custody and offender rehabilitation.

Go to www.pts.org.pk — the Pakistan Testing Service’s official website. Look for the Sindh Prisons & Corrections Service 2026 recruitment listing. Use a desktop or laptop for the most reliable application experience — PTS portals can be difficult to navigate on mobile.
Create a new account using your CNIC number and a valid email address. If you already have a PTS account from a previous test, log in with your existing credentials. Complete your profile with accurate personal details — name exactly as on CNIC, date of birth, domicile district, and contact number.
Make sure to select the correct form for Sindh Prison Constable Jobs 2026. PTS lists multiple recruitments simultaneously — choosing the wrong form wastes your fee and disqualifies your application. Confirm you are on the Sindh Prisons & Corrections Service 2026 Constable form before proceeding.
Enter your Matric certificate details (Board name, year, roll number, grade/marks), CNIC number, Sindh domicile district, date of birth, contact number, and email. For the Lady Prison Constable post, confirm you are selecting the female post specifically. Any mismatch between form data and original documents will cause rejection at document verification.
The PTS application fee for Sindh Prisons recruitment is paid through the fee challan generated by the portal — typically deposited at HBL, MCB, or other designated bank branches, or through online banking. Retain your payment receipt — it is required at the physical test venue.
Submit your completed application before May 11, 2026. After submission, the PTS portal will generate your roll number slip. Download and print this immediately — it is your entry pass for the physical test. PTS communicates all updates (test date, venue, result) through your registered email address. Check your spam folder regularly.
