No written test: walk-in interview in Quetta

There is no entry test and no written test for these posts. All recruitment from BPS-1 to BPS-16 will be done by walk-in interview, as a one-time dispensation. Only eligible and shortlisted candidates will be called for interview at CMES (Army) Quetta, near the DIG Police Office, Zarghoon Road, Quetta Cantt. No TA or DA will be admissible for the interview.

Who can apply

The age limit for every post is 18 to 30 years, calculated on the closing date. The advertisement gives age relaxations for Balochistan candidates on top of the general age relaxation, under the Establishment Division's one-time dispensation policy for the financial year 2026-27. Candidates already serving in a government or semi-government department must apply through the proper channel.

How to apply for MES jobs

Candidates must apply online only through the National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk. Create a profile or log in, find the Military Engineering Services Balochistan quota advertisement, select the post, and fill in the form carefully, because the information entered in the online form will be treated as final. Applications must be submitted before 14 November 2026. Incomplete applications, applications received after the closing date, and applications sent by post, courier or by hand will not be entertained, and hard copies of educational certificates are not required at this stage.

Fraud warning

MES recruitment is done only through the National Job Portal and the walk-in interview at Quetta. No person can take money and give you an MES job. If anyone demands money for selection, do not pay and report the matter to the nearest MES office. With the closing date only days away, Balochistan candidates should complete their National Job Portal application now rather than waiting until the last day.
