Lecturer Geography

This role is ideal for individuals holding an M.A. or M.Sc in Geography with at least 55% marks, coupled with a B.Ed degree with Geography, Social Science, or Social Studies as a teaching subject. Candidates must also have studied Geography as an elective subject at the graduation level for three years and be domiciled in Punjab to avail reservation benefits. Age between 18 and 37 years as on January 1, 2026, is required, with applicable relaxations for reserved categories and government employees.

Candidates who do not possess the specific postgraduate qualification in Geography with a B.Ed, or fail to meet the minimum percentage requirement, should not apply. Those outside the stipulated age limits without valid relaxation, or candidates not domiciled in Punjab (especially for reserved category applications), will find it difficult to qualify. The low vacancy count (6 posts) also means very high competition, making it unsuitable for those seeking easier entry.

This is a Group-B state government position within the Punjab School Education Department, offering a stable and respected career as a Lecturer. The pay scale is fixed at Rs. 35,400, providing a decent entry-level government salary. While the specific number of vacancies is low, securing a position offers long-term stability and contributions to public education in Punjab. Career growth would typically follow state government service rules for academic staff.
