All 77 posts and what each needs
Seven of the nine titles need only Primary. Naib Qasid has 58 seats, Farash 5, Staff Car Driver 4, Dispatch Rider 2, Chowkidar 2, Sweeper 2 and Duplicating Machine Operator 1. Only the Stenotypist and the Lower Division Clerk need Intermediate or Matric.
| Post | BPS | Posts | Qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stenotypist | 14 | 2 | Intermediate; shorthand 80 and typing 40 words a minute; computer literate |

| Dispatch Rider | 4 | 2 | Primary; valid driving licence |
| Duplicating Machine Operator | 4 | 1 | Primary; can run a duplicating machine |
| Naib Qasid | 1 | 58 | Primary |
| Farash | 1 | 5 | Primary |
| Chowkidar | 1 | 2 | Primary |
| Sweeper | 1 | 2 | Primary |
The Naib Qasid seats are split by quota: 49 on merit, 6 for women and 3 for minorities. Farash has 4 merit seats and 1 for women. The other posts are listed as Balochistan merit only.
None of the posts asks for experience, except that the two driving posts need a valid licence and good knowledge of traffic rules. The Stenotypist must pass both the shorthand and typing speeds, so practise both before any test call.
Age limit and domicile rules
Every post sets an age limit of 18 to 30 years, and the listings say age relaxation is admissible under government rules. Every post needs a Balochistan domicile. If your domicile is from another province, these posts are closed to you.
Government rules give five years of general relaxation in federal jobs, and Balochistan quota rounds this year have added more. The general rule on age relaxation in federal jobs adds five years to the upper limit for most candidates. If you are over 30, ask the ministry before you count on it.
How to apply before 18 November
Apply online on njp.gov.pk before the portal closes on 18 November 2026. Search for the Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, open the post, and apply. Make sure you pick the listings closing on 18 November, not the bureau of statistics posts.
- Log in to the National Job Portal with your CNIC. First time users need NJP registration with a CNIC, mobile number and email.
- Search the Ministry of Planning and open Naib Qasid, Driver or the post you want.
- Check that the closing date on the listing reads 18 November 2026.
- Enter your education, domicile and licence details and upload scans.
- Submit and save the confirmation screen.
If you have no smartphone or computer, the district employment cells set up in Balochistan for this drive and any internet cafe can help you fill the form. Do not pay anyone who promises a seat in return.
Keep scans of five things ready before you open the form: your CNIC, your Balochistan domicile, your Primary, Matric or Intermediate certificate, your driving licence for the driving posts, and a recent photograph. A clear phone photo works if you have no scanner, as long as every word is readable. Government servants should also arrange a no objection certificate from their department, as federal rules require.
Two Ministry of Planning rounds are open, with different dates
The same ministry has a second round for the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, with 67 posts including 41 Statistical Assistants, closing on 27 November 2026. That round is separate. Applying to one does not count as applying to the other.
The listings give webmanager@pc.gov.pk and 051-9206639 for queries about this round. Both rounds are part of the federal push to fill Balochistan's share of jobs, which a Senate sub-committee says is about 30,000 posts short. Other open federal posts are listed in Balochistan jobs on the National Job Portal.
