General Manager (IT) BPS-20: qualification and experience
The printed box under “Educational qualification and experience” asks for the following. We read it from the newspaper scan, which is small, so the wording is summarised and one clause is flagged below.
- Education: Master’s degree in Information Technology / Computer Science or an equivalent field from an institution recognised by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
- Experience: 15 years in the development and management of information technology.
- Leadership experience: that 15 years must include 5 years as the head of IT (chief information executive-type role) in a reputed organisation. Not clearly printed: the exact job title in this clause is hard to read in the scan, so ask KPT HR which designations count.
- Preference: candidates with foreign education and experience abroad will be preferred.

What about njp.gov.pk and moma.gov.pk?
The ad lists www.njp.gov.pk and www.moma.gov.pk (Ministry of Maritime Affairs) together with the KPT website. The National Job Portal is the federal government’s public job board. On 25 October 2026 its public All Live Jobs page showed 40 positions, with filters for job type, pay scale (BPS), experience and age limit, and we did not find the KPT General Manager (IT) post in that list. Applying on NJP needs a personal account, so we did not test it. Until KPT confirms an NJP link, follow the courier instructions in the ad.
Tip: on NJP you can filter by BPS-20 and 10+ years experience to see other senior federal posts. Check for this post again later in case KPT adds it. See our NJP step-by-step guide for how the portal works.

What the advertisement does not say (honest gaps)
Not printed: salary or contract package, test or interview date, selection method, and the exact job title in the 5-year leadership clause (hard to read in the scan).
- Deadline wording. The ad prints 16 November 2026. The KPT careers page shows a generic line saying applications should reach “within 15 days of publication”. Fifteen days from 25 October would be 9 November, so there is a gap. We follow the printed date but suggest sending by 9 November to be safe.
- Quotas. The KPT careers notes mention 10% for women, 5% for minorities and 2% for disabled persons for contractual posts. With only one post, the ad itself prints “Merit” as the regional quota. Ask HR how quotas apply.
- Courier only. Our reading of note (xii) is that only courier delivery is accepted, while the website note says “mail or courier”. Courier is the safe choice.
- Form date. The downloadable application form on the site carries an older date in its file name (2021). Use it, but check with HR if you want the newest version.
Do and don’t
| Do | Don’t |
| Send by courier and keep the tracking number | Email your application; the ad says other routes are not accepted |
| Attach experience letters that prove each year of the 15 and the 5 | Rely only on a CV without proof |
| Mark the envelope “General Manager (IT), BPS-20” | Leave the post name off the envelope |
| Get the Rs 100 pay order in the Chief Accounts Officer’s name | Send cash or put a wrong payee name |
| Apply early, ideally by 9 November | Wait until the last week |
| Pay nobody for a job, shortlist or interview | Use recommendation or pressure; the ad says it disqualifies you |
KPT General Manager (IT) jobs October 2026: frequently asked questions
What is the last date for KPT General Manager (IT) jobs October 2026?
The advertisement (Jang Karachi, 25 October 2026, page 21) says the application must reach the Manager (Human Resources), Karachi Port Trust, by 16 November 2026. That is about 22 days after the ad. The KPT careers page carries a general line saying “within 15 days of publication”, but the printed date in this ad is the one to follow. Send your file early to be safe.
What is the age limit for the KPT General Manager (IT) post?
The ad prints 50 years as the upper age limit. Note (i) of the ad says the general 5-year age relaxation is already included, so do not add another 5 years yourself. Other relaxation, if any, follows government instructions (note iii).
What qualification and experience are required for KPT General Manager (IT) BPS-20?
As printed: a Master’s degree in Information Technology / Computer Science or an equivalent field from an HEC-recognised institution, with 15 years of experience in IT development and management, including 5 years as the head of IT (a chief information executive-type role) in a reputed organisation. Foreign qualification and experience abroad get preference. The ad is printed small, so confirm the exact wording of the 5-year clause with KPT HR.
Is the KPT General Manager (IT) job permanent?
No. Note (iv) of the ad says the post is on contract for two years, extendable. The KPT careers page repeats that all contractual posts are for 2 years (extendable).

The ad asks you to download the application form from www.kpt.gov.pk, fill it in and send the complete file by courier to the Manager (Human Resources). It also says applications received by any other means are not accepted, so do not rely on email. The ad prints njp.gov.pk and moma.gov.pk as websites to visit, but we did not find this post on the National Job Portal live list on 25 October 2026.
What is the salary of KPT General Manager (IT) BPS-20?
The ad does not print a salary figure. It names the pay scale (BPS-20) and says allowances are as admissible under KPT rules (note ii). Ask KPT HR for the exact contract package before you apply.
Can government employees apply for KPT General Manager (IT)?
Yes, but note (v) says they must apply through proper channel and show a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their department at the test/interview stage.
KPT General Manager IT job ke liye apply kaise karein?
