DRAP jobs 2026: the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan has advertised 7 posts for people with a Balochistan domicile, and you apply online on the National Jobs Portal (njp.gov.pk) within 15 days of the advert. DRAP posted the advert on its website on 2 November 2026. Five posts are at DRAP headquarters in Islamabad and two at DRAP Quetta. Below: every post with its scale, age limit and qualification, the steps on NJP, and the rules that can get an application rejected.
We read the advert, which is printed in Urdu, from DRAP's careers page on the night of 2 November 2026. It is titled "Join Public Service, Balochistan Quota".
DRAP advertised 7 posts for Balochistan domicile holders on 2 November 2026
DRAP wants applications from Pakistani citizens who hold a local or domicile certificate of Balochistan. There is one vacancy in each of seven posts, from Superintendent down to Naib Qasid. Selection is by interview only.
The advert says the jobs are at DRAP headquarters, Islamabad, and DRAP's field office in Balochistan. In the table, the first five posts sit under "DRAP Islamabad". The Driver and Naib Qasid rows sit under "DRAP Quetta". The scales use DRAP's own grading, written RO-01 to RO-11 in the advert.
Every DRAP post, scale, age limit and qualification
The seven posts need anything from a middle pass to a master's degree with five years of experience. Typing speed is a hard requirement for three of them. The age limits in the table already include all relaxation, so you cannot add more years.
| No. | Post and scale | Place | Upper age | Qualification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Superintendent (RO-11) | DRAP Islamabad | 40 years | MA, MSc, MBA or MPA, plus 5 years of administrative experience |
| 2 | Assistant (RO-10) | DRAP Islamabad | 40 years | Graduate, with computer experience |
| 3 | Computer Operator (RO-10) | DRAP Islamabad | 35 years | Graduate, typing speed 40 words a minute |
| 4 | Data Entry Operator (RO-10) | DRAP Islamabad | 35 years | Intermediate, typing speed 35 words a minute |
| 5 | Lower Division Clerk (RO-07) | DRAP Islamabad | 40 years | Matric, computer knowledge, typing speed 35 words a minute |
| 6 | Driver (RO-04) | DRAP Quetta | 45 years | Matric, with an HTV or LTV driving licence |
| 7 | Naib Qasid (RO-01) | DRAP Quetta | 40 years | Middle pass |
Each post has one seat. That is a small number, so a complete and correct application matters more than usual.
Apply on the National Jobs Portal within 15 days
DRAP takes applications only through the online form on the National Jobs Portal at njp.gov.pk. The window is 15 days from the date the advert was published. Interview dates come later, by a separate announcement.
- Open njp.gov.pk and create an account with your CNIC and mobile number.
- Find the DRAP Balochistan quota advert and choose one post.
- Fill in your name, CNIC, domicile, qualification, religion, gender, date of birth and an active phone number carefully.
- Add disability details if they apply to you.
- Submit, and keep the confirmation. Use a separate online form for each extra post.
The account steps, and what to do when the CNIC check fails, are in National Jobs Portal registration.
The advert does not print a closing date. If you count 15 days from DRAP's posting on 2 November 2026, that is about 17 November 2026. The newspaper date may be different, so do not leave it to the last day.
The age limits already include 10 years of relaxation
DRAP says each upper age limit already includes a general relaxation of 5 years and a further 5 years, so 10 years in total. Age is counted on the last date for applications. No extra relaxation is offered on top.
Take the Naib Qasid post. Its limit is 40 years. If you turn 41 before the closing date, you are out, even though the base limit before relaxation would have been 30.
Government employees must apply through their own department, by proper channel. Transgender persons can apply in the gender they identify with and that appears on their CNIC, under the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2018, as the advert says.
A fake domicile or false information ends the application
DRAP will verify the domicile or local certificate, and will not issue an appointment letter if it is fake or cannot be verified. Character, past record and documents are checked too. Wrong or false information can lead to cancellation and legal action.
Other rules in the advert:
- Bring original documents and one set of attested photocopies to the interview.
- No travel or daily allowance (TA/DA) is paid for the interview.
- A medical check by a federal government civil surgeon comes before final selection.
- DRAP can add posts, cut posts or cancel the hiring at any stage.
The advert mentions no application fee. If anyone asks you to pay to "confirm" a DRAP seat, treat it as a scam and report it.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked 2 November 2026 at about 22:45 PKT. We read DRAP's careers post for the Balochistan quota, dated 2 November 2026, and the advert image inside its PDF, which is in Urdu. We read the post table, the application rules and the general instructions from that image. The advert does not print a closing date or say which newspaper carried it, so the 17 November date is our own count from DRAP's posting date. The Quetta location for the Naib Qasid post comes from a merged cell in the table. Applications go through the National Jobs Portal.
