About Pakistan Railways (Directorate of Land Management)

Pakistan Railways is the state-owned national railway operator, and recruits for technical, administrative, legal and judicial posts directly through its own departments — including the Directorate of Land Management for roles tied to railway land and legal affairs — rather than exclusively through the federal or provincial public service commissions. Departmental postings like these often follow their own recruitment rules distinct from FPSC or provincial commission processes.
