The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development has announced one Stenotypist vacancy in BPS-14 under the Balochistan Open Merit quota. Applications are accepted online only through the National Job Portal, and the closing date is 15 November 2026. The advertisement reference is PID(I)3996/26.

The post is with the ministry, which is based at the Pakistan Secretariat in Islamabad and looks after the affairs of Pakistanis working abroad and human resource development. The vacancy is reserved for candidates holding a Balochistan domicile or local certificate, and only online applications submitted through the National Job Portal will be considered.

Eligibility for the Stenotypist post

Applicants need an Intermediate qualification. They must have a minimum shorthand speed of 80 words per minute and a minimum typing speed of 40 words per minute, and they must be computer literate. Candidates should check the age limit and any quota conditions on the National Job Portal listing itself before applying, because the listing carries the full terms for the post.

Applicants should prepare their CNIC, Balochistan domicile or local certificate, educational certificates, and evidence of their shorthand and typing speeds before they start the application. Government employees should apply through the proper channel, as the ministry requires a no-objection certificate from serving government staff.

Part of the Balochistan recruitment drive

This vacancy is one of many federal posts opened to candidates holding a Balochistan domicile or local certificate through the National Job Portal, under a federal recruitment initiative covering dozens of departments. The portal lists thousands of active government vacancies across Pakistan, and its Balochistan section carries the openings reserved for domicile holders of the province. Because each department sets its own closing date, candidates should always check the date printed on the individual listing rather than assuming a common deadline.

The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development handles matters affecting Pakistanis working abroad, including their welfare and employment, and human resource development at home. A Stenotypist in the ministry supports senior officers by taking dictation, transcribing it accurately, and handling routine typing and record work, so the shorthand and typing speeds in the advertisement are tested skills rather than formalities. Candidates who meet the speeds should make sure they can demonstrate them, and should keep their certificates and documents ready for verification.

How to apply

Candidates should go to the National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk, register or sign in, complete their profile, and search for the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Stenotypist vacancy. The full job description is available against the vacancy on the portal. Applications submitted by hand will not be entertained, and the ministry's own website is ophrd.gov.pk.

Applicants should submit their forms well before the 15 November 2026 deadline and keep a copy of the submission confirmation. The portal showed four days remaining on 10 November 2026, so there is little time left for anyone who still needs to gather documents. Candidates should apply only through the official portal and should not pay any agent or third party for an application, because the National Job Portal does not charge for registration or applications.
