The Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of Pakistan, has announced 37 administrative, clerical and support staff vacancies under the Balochistan quota. The posts are in Federal Law Offices and Special Courts and Tribunals in Quetta, Makran, Zhob, Loralai, Khuzdar and Dera Allah Yar. Applications are accepted online only through the National Job Portal, and the portal listings showed one day remaining on 10 November 2026, so candidates should apply by 11 November 2026.

The recruitment covers 11 job categories in pay scales BPS-01 to BPS-14, and qualifications range from Primary school to graduation, depending on the post. The advertisement reference is PID(I) 3934/26, and the ministry has said applications submitted by hand will not be considered.

Posts on offer

The largest group is Naib Qasid, with 13 posts in BPS-01, including nine in Quetta and one each in Makran, Zhob, Loralai and Khuzdar. There are four Chowkidar posts and three Sweeper posts, all in BPS-01, and two Farash posts in BPS-01. Drivers have three posts in BPS-04, and there is one Bailiff post in BPS-03, based in Makran.

Clerical posts include three Upper Division Clerk posts in BPS-13 and three Lower Division Clerk posts in BPS-11, with vacancies in Quetta, Makran and Dera Allah Yar. There is one Nazir post in BPS-11, based in Makran, and two Stenotypist posts and two Reader posts, both in BPS-14.

Who can apply

Reader applicants need a graduate qualification. Stenotypists need Intermediate, shorthand at 80 words per minute, typing at 40 words per minute, and computer literacy. Upper Division Clerks and the Nazir need Intermediate, while Lower Division Clerks need Matric with typing at 30 words per minute. The Bailiff post needs Matric, Drivers need Primary education with a valid driving licence and knowledge of traffic rules, and Naib Qasid, Farash, Chowkidar and Sweeper applicants need Primary education.

The basic age limit is 18 to 25 years for most posts, and 18 to 30 years for Drivers. Age relaxation applies under the special Balochistan recruitment instructions issued by the Establishment Division on 22 and 27 October 2026, including five years of general relaxation and a further five years for candidates from Balochistan. Applicants should check the exact age conditions against their chosen post on the National Job Portal.

Walk-in interviews, not a written test

Selection will be through district-level walk-in interviews, and the advertisement states that there will be no written test. Candidates must bring original documents with a set of attested copies, including their CNIC, Balochistan domicile or local certificate, and educational certificates. Government employees must apply through the proper channel and provide a no-objection certificate, and selected candidates must provide a medical certificate as required under the rules. No travelling or daily allowance will be paid for tests or interviews, and the ministry says the number of vacancies may increase or decrease.

How to apply

Candidates should register or sign in on the National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk, complete their profile with personal, educational and domicile details, search for the Ministry of Law and Justice vacancies, and submit the online form for the post and location that match their eligibility. Only online applications are accepted. The ministry's own website is molaw.gov.pk, and the advertisement gives the Section Officer (A-V) on 051-9207416 as the contact. Applicants should read the full advertisement on the portal before applying, because eligibility, domicile and location conditions differ from post to post.
