How to Apply on ETEA (Step by Step)
Visit www.etea.edu.pk and create your profile. The ad says all candidates must create a profile on ETEA’s website.
Before applying or paying any fee, print the E-Sahulat token from the ETEA website and have your CNIC verified at any NADRA E-Sahulat franchise (kiosk). Without this verification you cannot apply.
Read the detailed TORs, qualification and experience on the official website of the Local Government, Elections & Rural Development Department, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (www.lgkp.gov.pk) and on the ETEA website.
The form is available on www.etea.edu.pk from 10 November 2026. After a successful submission a prescribed online deposit slip (token number, project code and your personal information) is generated.
Print the deposit slip and deposit the prescribed test fee (non-refundable) through OneLink. Keep the original candidate copy with the bank’s stamp safe and do not share it with anyone.
After applying online, do not send documents or testimonials to the ETEA office. Copies are provided only by candidates who qualify the screening test, when ETEA or the Appointing Authority asks for scrutiny.
ETEA informs candidates by SMS to download and print their Roll No. Slip from www.etea.edu.pk. Test date, time and venue are on the slip. No separate call letter is sent by post or courier. Do not give a ported/converted mobile number.
Tip: the form opens on 10 Nov, but do the profile and the E-Sahulat/NADRA verification now, before the form opens, so you are not stuck in a queue in the last days of November.

Test Preparation: What to Revise
The ad does not publish a syllabus. Because the post asks for “strong expertise in database management systems (SQL, PostgreSQL, or NoSQL)”, a sensible plan is to revise SQL queries, joins, indexing, normalization and query optimization; PostgreSQL features (views, functions, transactions, backup and restore); the basics of NoSQL stores; general programming; and general knowledge / English. This is our suggestion, not an ETEA notice; check your Roll No. Slip and the ETEA website for the real details.
