Read this first. (1) The numbers 22.10.2026 and 27.10.2026 in the ad are the dates of Establishment Division office memoranda, not interview dates. (2) The ad gives no interview date and says only that walk-in interviews (BS-01 to BS-05) will be held at the Divisional Superintendent Office, Zarghoon Road, Quetta. (3) News reports say Balochistan-quota candidates are exempt from written and screening tests; the ad itself does not say this, so check your own NJP job page.

Quick self-check: pick the trade that matches your education, hold a Balochistan domicile, be inside the age limit on 11 November 2026, and keep the diploma / licence certificate ready if your trade asks for one. For Gangman and Gatekeeper the domicile must be from the relevant Quetta Division districts.
Assistant Driver (BPS-9, 34 posts) is the only post with two routes: Matric + 3-year Mechanical diploma, or FSc (Pre-Engineering) / ICS in 2nd division, as printed. Jeep Driver needs a driving licence.
Who Can Apply: Domicile, Age and Quotas
- Domicile: only a valid Balochistan domicile (relevant districts). The ad says anyone holding dual domicile or a domicile of another province is disqualified immediately. For Gangman (468) and Gatekeeper (20) the domicile must be of the relevant districts of Railway Quetta Division.
- Age: the table says 18-35 years. The terms say 18-30 years + 5 years, with specific additional relaxation for Balochistan candidates notified by the Establishment Division on 22.10.2026, and the upper age (35) is counted on the closing date, i.e. 11 November 2026.
- Extra relaxation (as printed): ex-servicemen 15 years or the years actually served, whichever is less; government and contract employees with 2 years continuous service 10 years up to age 55; disabled candidates 10 years; widow or child of a deceased civil servant a further 5 years. If you qualify under more than one category you get relaxation in one category only.
- Quotas: “Open quota, Minorities quota & Women quota will be observed where applicable.” The ad prints no percentages. News reports mention 10% for Baloch women and 5% for minorities across the whole drive.
- Women: LDC (4 posts) and X-Ray Assistant (1 post) say females can apply, and the women quota applies where applicable.
Terms and Conditions in Plain Words
- Contract only: two years, no right to regular appointment or seniority; extension depends on performance and departmental requirements.
- Medical: selected candidates are examined by the Divisional Medical Officer (DMO), Pakistan Railways, Quetta.
- Security clearance: final appointment depends on verification of degrees, character and clearance from agencies / police.
- Training: successful candidates must complete the prescribed course at the Pakistan Railway Academy Walton, Lahore or designated training centres.
- Transfer: you can be posted anywhere within the Quetta Division.
- Rejection: late applications are not entertained; incomplete applications, or those without the required postal address, will be rejected.
- Money: no TA/DA for tests or interviews.
- False information: if any document is found fake at any stage, even after joining, the contract is terminated and legal action follows.
Last Date and Selection
The ad prints “Last date to apply is 11.11.2026”, and the National Job Portal shows 11 Nov 2026 on the job pages we opened (posted 28 Oct 2026, 14 days left on the day we checked). That is a Wednesday.
- Interview dates: the ad gives none. Walk-in interviews for BS-01 to BS-05 will be held at the Divisional Superintendent Office, Zarghoon Road, Quetta. Watch your NJP account and call 081-9201893 for the schedule.
- What “recruitment as per Establishment Division memorandum dated 22.10.2026 & 27.10.2026” means: the hiring follows two government orders. These are not event dates.
- Test exemption: ProPakistani, 24 News and Daily Pakistan report that candidates under this Balochistan quota drive are exempt from written and screening tests, and that Federal Minister Muhammad Hanif Abbasi said recruitment will be completed before 30 November 2026. The ad does not print either statement. Treat them as news, not as the official notice.
Do not wait for the last day. 799 posts will bring a huge rush on NJP. Apply early and keep the confirmation of every application you submit.
Documents Checklist
The ad asks for attested copies of these documents:
- Educational certificates: Primary / Middle / Matric (2nd division) / FA-FSc (2nd division) as your post needs
- Degree / diploma (where the post needs it), submitted with the application form
- CNIC and Local / Domicile Certificate (Balochistan)
- Character certificate
- Four passport-size photographs with blue background (make one with our free Background Remover and resize it with the Image Resizer)
- Driving licence if you apply for Jeep Driver; trade diploma / certificate where printed
- Experience or NOC papers only if you claim age relaxation as a government employee
How to Apply on the National Job Portal (Step by Step)
These steps follow the official NJP pages we opened on 28 October 2026 (public pages only; we did not log in or submit anything).
The ad also mentions a postal address: applications without “the required postal address” are rejected. So write your complete postal address in your NJP profile and keep photocopies of your attested documents for the interview.
Why News Says 829 Posts and This Ad Says 799
Several news sites report 829 vacancies (805 for Quetta Division, 24 for headquarters) under the Balochistan quota. This ad has 799. The National Job Portal explains the gap: besides these 49 trades it lists 24 Sub-Engineer and ASM posts of Pakistan Railways Headquarter Office (Sub-Engineer Mechanical 8, Signal 3, Telecom 2, Electrical 3, Civil 2, Drawing 2, ASM Gr-I 4) and 6 Ministry of Railways posts (Steno typist 1, LDC 1, Staff Car Driver 1, Naib Qasid 3). 799 + 24 + 6 = 829. Those 30 posts are from other ads, not from this Dawn page. Our own addition of the table also gives 799; we cannot confirm how the news split 805 and 24.

What the Ad Does Not Tell You
- Salary. The ad gives only BPS grades. We do not quote a figure.
- Interview dates. “Walk-in interviews (BS-01 to BS-05)” only. Posts above BS-5 (e.g. LDC, Assistant Driver, trades in BPS-6 to 11) have no stated selection method in the ad.
- Whether there is a written test. The ad mentions “tests or interviews” in the TA/DA line; news says exempt. Confirm on NJP.
- Quota percentages and which districts are “relevant”.
- Physical or driving test details for Pointsman, Assistant Driver and Jeep Driver.
Karna / Nahi karna
✅ Karna (Do)
- Do check that your Balochistan domicile is valid and matches the ad (Quetta Division districts for Gangman / Gatekeeper).
- Do apply only on https://www.njp.gov.pk and keep a screenshot of every submitted application.
- Do match your education to the trade; attach diploma / licence where asked.
- Do keep attested copies of all documents and 4 blue-background photos ready.
- Do put your full postal address in your profile.
- Do call 081-9201893 for the interview schedule if you hear nothing.
❌ Nahi karna (Don’t)
- Do not pay anyone for a job, a “seat” or “NJP setting”. NJP is free and the ad shows no fee.
- Do not apply with a domicile of another province or with two domiciles: the ad disqualifies you.
- Do not treat 22.10.2026 / 27.10.2026 as interview dates: they are order dates.
- Do not believe “no test, no interview” rumours: the ad says walk-in interviews will be held.
- Do not wait for 11 November: apply early.
