PCS means Provincial Civil Service through which Section Officers and Assistant Commissioners are recruited based on 7 papers exam. PMS is new concept in which Officers are recruited which can be posted both as ACs or SOs. PMS is prevalent in KPK and Punjab and PCS still exists in Sindh and Baluchistan. Am I right fellows?

can any one guide me about pcs exams? kiya pcs and pms is same thing? pcs ka exam kab and kahan and kaun leta hai?and dates,admissions etc kab announce hoty hain?

PCS is for provincial civil service. Every province has its own public service commission just like the FPSC for federal.

PMS stands for provincial management service. These exams have been taken every 2 years, but thats not a fixed rule. The punjab PMS was to be held from 7th september, but it has been delayed now and it will be re advertised.

The term PCS exam is used for all the inductions done through any of the provincial public service commission.

I think you will get satisfied by the answer of hassanshariq who has cleared everything in his answer. The office of PPSC/PCS is near Shimla Pahari, Davis Road, Lahore. PMS is an exam to induct Officers in BPS-17 under provincial government. This year PMS is inducting Section Officers, Assistant Director Local Fund Audit and Excise and Taxation Officers.
Except PMS, other PCS exams are also conducted for different posts in different departments, as I qualified PCS and now Serving in CID in BPS-14.
For further details please visit PCS website and go through it
PUNJAB PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

If you want to apply for PMS and you missed the chance this year, then don't worry, PMS(Punjab) is going to be re-advertised and you may apply in it. You may also apply for PCS and at present following PCS exams are within limit

Jahan tak baat ha PMS ar PCS k difference ki tu.....
There are two types of commissions in Pakistan, 1. Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC which conducts CSS and other federal commission exams), 2. Provincial Commission Services (PCS), this is different for each province. For example Punjab Public Service Commission, Sindh Public Service Commission etc. So PCS is the name of commission which conducts exams to induct the officers/officials for respective provincial governments. PMS is the name of examination which is conducted by PCS (Provincial commission) PCS also conduct other exams (other than PMS), just as Induction of ASI (BPS-9), Assistants (BPS_14), Lecturers (BPS-17), etc and this exam is called PCS.

@ senioors
correct me if i am wrong there are 3 attempts available to every candidate for pms/pcs if a person appeared in exams 4 a post(other than pms) advertised by ppsc say tehsildar /accountant etc will it mean he has only two attempts left for pms?

malik sahab... PCS attemp aap jitni chahe kr lo but if you are within age limit

but for PMS you have only 3 attempts..you can call it mini CSS
hop u will get my point
PMS ki apni alg se 3 attempts hain it is not related with PCS

look hira PMS n PCS are two seperat things
PMS is Provincial menagment service(as like of CSS)
It comes after avery 2 years but its not a pet rule they can advertise it afer 1 year too.
PCS is another thing You can apply it at any time when you feel that you are qualifying for the given advertisement but remaining in age limt.
PMS has 3 chances....
PCS examz has many chances until you cross your age limt.

PCS has also three attempts limit for each post. Means you can attempt for the post of ASI thrice only, after that you could not apply for the same. But you have three, three chances each for other posts. For example I can apply thrice for ASI, thrice for lecturer, thrice for PMS, thrice for Zilladar, thrice for Traffic warden and thrice for bla bla bla.
