Inspectorate of Army Stores & Clothing (IAS&C) Karachi has printed an advertisement headed “Applications Required for Vacant Posts” in The Nation (Lahore edition), 11 November 2026, page 15. It invites eligible candidates to join IAS&C Karachi as civilian employees against 16 post lines and 69 vacancies (the ad’s own total, which matches our sum): Supervisor ‘B’ (BPS-08), Laboratory Assistant and Junior Draughtsman (BPS-07), Supervisor ‘C’ and Cabinet Maker (BPS-06), 24 Viewer Skilled (BPS-05), Laboratory Attendant, Tracer, Viewer SS-I, Gestetner Operator, Painter, Blue Printer, Drawing Supplier, Fireman, Unskilled Manual and Sanitary Worker. Qualifications run from Primary and Middle to Matric (Science) and FSc, so this is a rare ad for many education levels. Most seats are on a provincial quota (Sindh, Punjab, KPK, Islamabad, AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan). Tests will be held in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.
Last date: 1 December 2026 (Tuesday) – our calculation, not printed. The ad says applications must reach IAS&C Karachi “within Twenty (20) days of publication of this advertisement”. The ad was published on 11 November 2026, so 11 Nov + 20 days = 1 December 2026. The ad prints no calendar date, so send your application early and by tracked courier; it must arrive, not just be posted.

Total: 69 vacancies. The biggest line is Viewer Skilled (BPS-05) with 24 seats, then Supervisor ‘C’ (8), Laboratory Attendant (6) and Supervisor ‘B’ / Laboratory Assistant (5 each). Sindh quota seats dominate the lower posts (Gestetner Operator to Sanitary Worker).
Check these printed details: (1) Unskilled Manual (USM) says 04 vacancies, but the quota lines add up to only 3 (Sindh 2 + Islamabad/Rawalpindi/Attock/Hazara/AJK/GB 1). The other 15 lines add up exactly. Ask the office which quota holds the fourth seat. (2) Painter asks for “Primary with 2x years’ experience”, an unclear print (probably 2 years). (3) Viewer SS-I is open only to Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura and Nankana Sahib domicile. (4) The ad prints no salary; BPS grade is the only pay information.
