How to Apply Through NTS (Step by Step)
The procedure below follows only what the ad prints (points 14 to 22).
Open the NTS website and fill in the online application form for the post you want. Read the post name and age limit carefully: Surveillance Assistant (22-35) differs from the officer posts (24-35).
The ad says the test fee is paid with the 20 digit invoice number generated on your fee slip. The ad does not print the fee amount.
Pay through 1Link 1Bill participating banks, ATM, internet banking, mobile banking, Easypaisa, JazzCash or TCS Express counters. Only 1 bill invoice payment will be accepted, so do not pay the same invoice twice.
The ad says to submit the duly filled application form (online), the deposit slip of the prescribed fee in favour of National Testing Service, a copy of CNIC and two recent passport-size photographs directly to NTS through courier on the address mentioned on the application form.
Completed applications should reach NTS till 30 November 2026. Incomplete applications, or applications received after the due date or closing office hours on the last date, will not be entertained. Courier early.
The date of the written / skill test is communicated only through NTS to eligible / short-listed candidates. You need at least 50% marks to qualify. If many candidates qualify, the Appointing Authority may decide a threshold marks ratio.
Important: the last date is the date applications must reach NTS, not just the date you fill the online form. Courier time counts, so we advise finishing the online form and posting the courier well before 30 November 2026 (our advice, not a printed rule).
Document Checklist and Free Educativz Tools
- CNIC copy, two recent passport-size photographs and the deposit slip (these go to NTS by courier).
- Keep ready for the interview: original documents and a set of attested photocopies (degrees, transcripts, Punjab domicile, experience letters, and a Council / Commission registration for M&E Coordinator), plus an NOC if you work in a government / semi-government / autonomous body / corporation.
- Scan and combine papers: Image to PDF, Merge PDF and Compress PDF. See all free Educativz tools.
- Resize your passport-size photo with the Free Image Resizer or clean its background with the Background Remover.
What the Ad Does Not Say
- The amount of the “Lump Sum Pay Package” for any post. No salary is printed.
- The NTS test fee amount. It is generated on your fee slip.
- The contract period and whether the posts can be extended or made regular.
- Where each person will be posted. The ad says “Provincial Monitoring Coordinators” but does not list districts for the 22 coordinators or the 500 Surveillance Assistants.
- The quota percentages (“as per govt policy”) and age relaxation rules.
- The NTS test date and test centres. NTS will tell eligible candidates.
- The date of the ad. No ad date is printed; we use the 14 November 2026 Daily Express publication date.
- Disability, women or minority seats. Only transgender persons are mentioned as encouraged.
- The courier address. It is on the NTS application form, not in the newspaper.
- Whether an online form without the courier documents is accepted. The ad says the application must be complete.
Safety Note
Read before you pay:
- Apply only on the official NTS website www.nts.org.pk and pay only with the invoice generated there. Never pay an “agent” or send money to a personal account for a seat, and never share your password or OTP.
- No TA/DA is paid, so plan your test and interview travel yourself.
- Check the Health & Population Department website pshealthpunjab.gov.pk (the ad says it carries the advertisement) and call the NTS UAN +92-51-844-4441 for any problem.
- Do not submit fake documents: concealment of any fact leads to disqualification.
Karna / Nahi Karna
Karna:
- Check that you have Punjab domicile, the right degree and 2 years’ experience (1 year surveillance / monitoring for Surveillance Assistant).
- Fill the NTS online form, generate the fee slip and pay by 1Bill, then courier the documents early so they reach NTS before 30 November 2026.
- Check your Council / Commission registration (M&E Coordinator) and keep an NOC ready if you are already employed by the government.
- Prepare for the NTS test: you need at least 50% marks.
- Keep the courier receipt and your 1Bill payment proof.
Nahi karna:
