✅ Correct Answer:
(c) one year service
Explanation:
Confirmation of an employee is the formal process of appointing a permanent status after a probationary period. In most government and educational institutions in Pakistan, an employee is placed on probation initially, usually for one year, during which their performance, conduct, and efficiency are closely monitored.
Upon satisfactory completion of this period, the employee is confirmed in service, which provides job security, eligibility for promotions, benefits, and other entitlements. The probation period allows employers to assess whether the employee meets required standards of performance and behavior. Failure to perform satisfactorily during probation may result in extension or termination.
Confirmation is a key aspect of human resource management and is widely tested in PPSC administrative and general knowledge papers.
