The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony in Islamabad has announced two vacant posts for candidates holding a Balochistan domicile. The posts are an Assistant in BPS-15 and a Steno Typist in BPS-14, both regular posts in the main ministry.

The recruitment notice is published on the ministry's own website, and applications are accepted online only through the National Job Portal. The portal is open for these posts from 1 November to 16 November 2026.

The two posts

The Assistant post (BPS-15) is open to graduates. The selected candidate must complete a six-week basic IT training course, including MS Office, from the National Information Technology Board after selection and before the end of the probationary period. The age limit is 18 to 38 years, including five years of general relaxation under government policy and five years of special age relaxation.

The Steno Typist post (BPS-14) requires Intermediate education, a minimum shorthand speed of 80 words per minute and a typing speed of 40 words per minute, and computer literacy. The age limit is 18 to 35 years, including the same relaxations.

One vacancy is available in each post, and both fall under the Balochistan merit quota. The place of posting for both is the main ministry in Islamabad.

Part of a wider Balochistan quota drive

The two posts are among a series of Balochistan-quota vacancies advertised by federal ministries and departments this month under instructions from the Establishment Division. Its office memorandum No. 2/5/2026-BEFC/001, dated 22 October 2026, allows candidates from Balochistan five years of special age relaxation on the closing date as a one-time dispensation, on top of the five-year general relaxation — which is how the 18-to-38 and 18-to-35 limits in this notice are reached.

How to apply

Candidates must apply online through the National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk within 15 days of the advertisement's publication. The ministry's notice states that the portal will be open for these posts from 1 November to 16 November 2026, so applications should be submitted before that closing date.

Applicants should have their Balochistan domicile certificate ready, as the notice invites applications only from candidates from the province, and should confirm the exact closing date shown against their post on the portal before submitting.

Applicants should read the full recruitment notice on the ministry's website before applying, including the qualification, quota, place of posting and age conditions for their post. Only eligible candidates will be called for a test or interview, and no travel or daily allowance will be paid.

Applicants should be made only through the National Job Portal. The two posts are part of the federal government's special Balochistan-quota recruitment, under which ministries are filling reserved posts for Balochistan domicile holders, with the age relaxations set out in the advertisement. No fee should be paid to any agent or individual in the name of selection.
