Good. I lie within the range of 60s. There are only 7 posts, so the merit will be on country basis or what ?

We are waiting anxiously and they don't care. Simply:))

I called again. He said the interviews have been delayed because they dont have offices for the new recruits. They have sent a request to gov for building the said office and haven't received any word from them. Once the offices have been built the interviews will be conducted. Dont know how long it might take, it could be a month or 3 months for all he knows.

I just received a call from Finance Division for the interview on 25-9-2018. They said it was late because of certain delays not to be disclosed.
I am little confused now if anyone out there can guide please:
1- I have started working for Pakistan Railways as senior auditor since 20-11-2017, as senior auditor(selection through fpsc)
2- what position is this research associate? BPS?
3- since research associate (MOF) is contract based should i consider this or stick to my current job.

Akash they had conducted interviews before on 17 july. But the people they hired didn't accept the job, God knows why. It seems they are not providing good salaries and now they are re conducting the interviews.

Brother, what you have is a regular, permanent job. People at DPCO are offering less than one year contract on daily wages basis (no leaves/medical/benefit, nothing). Plus they are completely out of funds and this project will continue for max one year more (if world bank gives them more funding, else it ends in July 2019). Do not make the fatal mistake of leaving permanent BS-16 in an excellent org like Pak Rlys for something that is going to last less than one year and then you will be out of job. I myself turned it down. I keep my privacy and cannot give further details about myself, but you can check all that I have told here personally from DPCO, MoF.
Just replying to ensure that a brother should not make a bad decision. JazakAllah.

What was the gross salary for the job? and when did you get the offer?

[QUOTE=anaya sikandar;1076718]What was the gross salary for the job? and when did you get the offer?[/QUOTE]

I will share exact terms and conditions that I was offered:

"1. You will be paid per diem of Rs. 4,300/- payable at the end of each month (with up to maximum of 22 days / month).
2. The duration of the contract is for one year or until the closure of the project (whichever is earlier)."

I tried to upload a cropped screenshot but am unable to do so. On average, one works 20 days in a month so gross pay would be something like

Rs.4,300 x 20 days = Rs. 86,000/- (not accounting for taxes + assuming no leaves)

Since this is a daily wages job, every leave that you avail would result in a loss of Rs. 4,300 per day. While the money is tempting, regular appointment via FPSC confers upon you the status of civil servant / government servant where you are entitled to job security, medical, leave, etc. None of that you get here and there is no chance of this project becoming regular hence all employees will simply be asked to leave once the project reaches conclusion / funding dries up.

The reason due to which it took so long to hire, as per reliable sources, was that some highly placed sahib (hint: he is facing court proceedings nowadays) handed a list to DG who didnt want to hire sifarshis so he simply froze recruitment. Now, there simply is no time left for these people because the project tenure is at an end. This will better suit someone who is a student and is looking for a high paying internship opportunity. I didn't want the poor guy to lose a permanent job without knowing the background, so shared this. Though, of course, if they offer him better terms than they offered me, then he may choose to make an informed decision. Hope this helps.
