How to Apply: Step by Step
Follow only what the ad prints. We have not added steps that are not in the advertisement.
Master Mariner (Foreign Going Vessel) under STCW 1995, command and Mate / Chief Officer experience as printed, and age up to 45 (5-year relaxation already counted).
Open www.kpt.gov.pk and go to Careers (KPT Careers page). KPT keeps a general job-application form there: KPT application form (PDF). The ad says the form is on the website; if you cannot find the one for this post, call HR first.
Detailed bio-data / CV, qualification and experience details, the post name (Pilot BPS-19), date of birth, one recent passport-size photo, CNIC copy and attested copies of your certificates, experience letters and Master Mariner / STCW documents.
In the name of Chief Accounts Officer (KPT). It is non-refundable.
Write “Pilot BPS-19” clearly on the envelope and send it by courier to the Manager (Human Resource), KPT Head Office Building, Eduljee Dinshaw Road, Karachi-74000 so that it reaches within 20 days of publication (our count: 3 December 2026). Keep the courier receipt.
Only short-listed candidates are called for the test / interview. No TA/DA is paid. Government employees must bring an NOC.
Tip: the deadline is about reaching Karachi, not posting. Book the courier early and keep the tracking number. The last date is our count from the 13 November paper; if the same ad ran first in another paper, the deadline is earlier. Confirm with HR on 021-99214337. This is our advice, not a printed rule.
Documents Checklist and Free Educativz Tools

- What “Merit-6” means: printed in the quota column without explanation.
- How the 3-year command and 5-year Mate / Chief Officer experience combine: printed in a single sentence; ask HR.
- Test / interview date and place, syllabus or pattern: not printed.
