All 5 Posts (6 Seats): Assistant to Naib Qasid
We read every row of the advertisement. Qualification text is as printed.
| Post | BPS | Seats | Age | Qualification |
| Assistant | BS-15 | 1 | 18–28 years | (i) Graduation; (ii) preferably computer literate; (iii) a 6-week Basic IT Training Course (including MS Office, conducted by NITB) is mandatory after selection, before the end of probation |

| Upper Division Clerk (UDC) | BS-13 | 1 | 18–25 years | (i) Intermediate; (ii) the selected candidate must complete a 3-week Basic IT Training Course (including MS Office, by NITB) after selection, before the end of probation |

What 80/40 w.p.m. means: shorthand 80 words per minute and typing 40 words per minute (“respectively” in the ad). Practise your typing speed for the Stenotypist and LDC posts with our English typing tutor. For Assistant, UDC and LDC you do not need MS Office on day one: the NITB course is given after selection, but it must be completed before probation ends.
Age Limit: Ad and NJP Agree
The ad prints 18–28 years for Assistant and 18–25 years for the other four posts. Term (viii) adds 5 years general age relaxation under the General Age Relaxation Rules 1993 (as amended), plus any other relaxation under federal government rules. NJP’s “Max Age” matches that arithmetic.
| Post | Ad: base age | Plus 5 years general relaxation | NJP “Max age” |
| Assistant BS-15 | 28 | 33 | 33 |
| Stenotypist BS-14 | 25 | 30 | 30 |
| UDC BS-13 | 25 | 30 | 30 |
| LDC BS-11 | 25 | 30 | 30 |
| Naib Qasid BS-01 | 25 | 30 | 30 |
Not confirmed: the ad does not say on which date your age is counted, and it prints no extra Balochistan relaxation beyond the 5 general years. Use NJP’s figures (33 / 30) and, if you are close to the limit, phone the Section Officer on 051-9223979. Check your age with the Educativz age calculator for govt jobs.
Dates and Deadline
| What | Date |
| Advertisement in Daily Dunya (Faisalabad, page 22) | 5 November 2026 (Thursday) |
| NJP application deadline (as shown on NJP) | 18 November 2026 (Wednesday) |
| Ad rule: online within 15 days of publication | About 20 November 2026 if counted from 5 Nov (our calculation) |
| Walk-in interview date and venue | Not printed in the ad |
Use 18 November. The ad prints no calendar date, only “15 days from the date of publication”. NJP’s own deadline (18 Nov) is the safe one. Do not wait for the 20th.
