Posts and vacancies

Eligibility

Applicants must have a second-class or Grade C Intermediate qualification, or an equivalent qualification, with shorthand and typing speeds of 80 and 40 words per minute respectively. A three-month certificate in computer operations covering MS Office is also required.

The minimum age is 18 years and the maximum is 30 years, including five years of general age relaxation. Age, qualifications and experience will be assessed as of the application closing date. Candidates awaiting results on that date and dual nationality holders are not eligible.

Additional age relaxation is admissible as follows:

• Five years for candidates belonging to Balochistan Province.

• Up to 15 years, or the actual number of years served in the Armed Forces of Pakistan, whichever is less, for released or retired armed forces personnel.

• Ten years for government servants who have completed two years of continuous government service by the closing date.

• Ten years for persons with disabilities.

• Five years for the widow, son or daughter of a government servant who died during service.

• Any other relaxation admissible under government policy.

Candidates eligible under multiple relaxation categories may use only one category, whichever is most favourable. Quotas have been calculated according to federal government policy.

Under the federal government approval dated 22 October 2026, a one-time exemption applies to identified posts up to BS-16 requiring trainable skills such as typing, shorthand or basic computer proficiency. If none of the candidates hold certifications at selection, selected candidates must acquire the prescribed proficiency through departmental on-the-job training during probation. Proficiency will be assessed before confirmation, and failure to acquire it will be handled under the applicable probation and service rules.
