Differences to check: the printed ad puts Chemist (Pesticides) at Karachi and Office Assistant (Legal) at Islamabad, but the PSW portal pages show the opposite cities for these two titles (Chemist at Islamabad, Office Assistant (Legal) at Karachi). Use the location on the portal job page you apply for, and ask HR if it is unclear.
Qualifications by level (from the official PSW portal)
The newspaper ad does not print qualifications; they are on each job page of the PSW portal. From the pages we opened on 27 October 2026, the pattern is:
| Level | Education | Experience |
| Director (3 technical posts; Director Communications asks a 16-year Master’s) | Master’s (Hons.) / M.Phil. or M.Sc. (Hons.) / M.Phil., minimum 18 years of education, in the relevant field | About 12 years relevant |
| Deputy Director | Mostly Master’s / M.Phil. (18 years) in agriculture, entomology, plant protection or related; chemistry posts accept M.Sc. Chemistry; HR/finance posts take a Master’s (16 years) | Higher than Assistant Director level (see job page) |
| Assistant Director | B.Sc. (Hons.) / Bachelor’s, minimum 16 years, in agriculture (entomology, plant protection, plant pathology), chemistry, HR, business or finance depending on the post | Minimum 4 years relevant |
| Officers (Market Access, Budget, Procurement, Revenue, Chemist, Compliance) | Bachelor’s 16 years in the relevant field; Chemist needs M.Sc. Chemistry | 2–4 years, as per job page |
| Inspector (SDBRC / Pesticides) | B.Sc. (Hons.) 16 years in agriculture / plant protection / entomology | Minimum 2 years field experience |
| Office Assistant | Intermediate (12 years) or equivalent | About 2 years office experience |
Always read the exact requirements on the job page before applying. They differ post by post, and some posts say strong candidates with less experience “may be considered”.
How to apply online
Pick your post. Match your degree and years of experience with the list above.
Scan the QR code printed at the bottom of the newspaper ad, or open the PSW careers portal (apply.workable.com/pakistan-single-window) and choose the department “NAFSA Careers via PSW”.
Open the job page and read the job description and the required qualifications.
Apply and upload documents: CV, degrees, experience letters and CNIC. Use a working email and mobile number.
Submit before the deadline. Do not wait for the last day. A separate application is needed for each post.
Help: the job pages give hr.support@psw.gov.pk for queries, and the ad prints the HR Department number 051-9245587. Use only these official channels.
What the advertisement does not say
- No pay or BPS grade is printed. We have not found a salary on the portal pages we read, so we are not guessing it.
- No seat count per post. The 37 figure is the number of lines in the table.
- No exact closing date. Only “15 days after the date of advertisement”.
- No age limit or domicile rule was printed in the ad.
- The ad says NAFSA/PSW may accept or reject any application or cancel the recruitment at any stage, and the recruitment is subject to Federal Government directives.
Avoid fake offers
Apply only through the QR code or the official PSW portal. Never pay money to anyone for a NAFSA or PSW job. There is no TA/DA and no fee mentioned in the ad. Ignore WhatsApp messages, agents or “link in comments” offers that claim to guarantee a post.
Do and do not
- Do check the degree wording (for example “16 years, Agriculture, Entomology / Plant Protection”) against yours before applying.
- Do prepare a clear CV with dates and years of experience that match the post.
- Do apply early. Jobs were posted on 24 October and the 15-day window is short.
- Do not apply to posts far outside your field. Applications are screened on qualification and experience.
- Do not assume these are permanent government posts. The portal marks them as contract.
- Do not share your CNIC or documents anywhere except the official portal.
