The Prime Minister's Office (Public) has invited applications from Pakistani nationals holding a Balochistan local or domicile certificate for two regular posts in Islamabad. The vacancies, advertised under the Balochistan quota, are for one Stenotypist (BS-14) and one Upper Division Clerk (UDC, BS-13). Applications must be submitted online through the National Job Portal within 15 days of the advertisement's publication.

The advertisement, dated 3 November 2026, puts the closing date at 18 November 2026. Only candidates holding a Balochistan local or domicile certificate are eligible to apply. There is no written test: recruitment will be carried out through a walk-in interview process as a one-time dispensation, with interviews held at district level through newly established employment cells in Balochistan.

Posts on offer

The Stenotypist post (BS-14) requires Intermediate education, a minimum speed of 80 words per minute in shorthand and 40 words per minute in typing, and computer literacy. The age limit is 18 to 25 years, plus five years of general age relaxation and a further five years of specific relaxation for candidates from Balochistan, taking the upper limit to 35 years.

The Upper Division Clerk post (BS-13) also requires Intermediate education. The selected candidate must undertake and qualify a three-week Basic IT Training Course, including MS Office, conducted by the National Institute of Technology Board (NITB), within one year of appointment. The same age limits apply: 18 to 25 years plus the relaxations, up to 35 years in total.

How to apply

Applications must be submitted online through the National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk, using the dedicated tab created for this recruitment, within 15 days of the advertisement's publication. Applications submitted by any other method will not be accepted.

Recruitment will be done at the doorstep, at district level, with the help of newly established employment cells in the districts of Balochistan, as a special case to ensure that residents of the province are recruited. Because the process is a walk-in interview, there is no entry test and no written test. Candidates who do not hold the required certifications at the time of selection will acquire the prescribed proficiency through departmental on-the-job training after joining, during the probation period, and their proficiency will be assessed before confirmation.

What candidates should know

The advertisement allows candidates from Balochistan an upper age relaxation of five years on the closing date, instead of the existing three years, as a one-time dispensation under Establishment Division office memorandum No. 2/5/2026-BEFC001 dated 22 October 2026.

Applicants already in government service must apply through the proper channel after obtaining a no-objection certificate. Only shortlisted candidates will be called for a walk-in interview, and they must present original documents along with a set of attested copies of certificates, their CNIC and their Balochistan domicile certificate at the interview. If any information given by a candidate is found fake or bogus, the candidature will stand cancelled. No TA or DA will be admissible for appearing in the interview.

Candidates should apply only through the National Job Portal and check the official advertisement on the Prime Minister's Office website before applying. No fee is mentioned in the advertisement, and no agent or third party is involved in the process.
