Age Limit and Relaxation Explained
Each row prints its own age limit: 18-25 years for most posts, 18-28 years for Assistant (Ministerial) and 18-30 years for Driver. Under every limit the ad adds: “05 years General Age Relaxation + 05 years’ additional relaxation for candidates from Balochistan”. Read together, that is up to 10 years on top of the printed limit for a Balochistan candidate (our arithmetic: 25 becomes up to 35, 28 up to 38, 30 up to 40). The ad does not print these final ages, and the Sanitary Worker row has no age at all, so check the maximum age on the NJP listing before you apply.
How to Apply on the National Job Portal (NJP)
Follow only what the ad says. NJP is the official federal portal; the same process is explained in our FPSC Secretariat Balochistan quota guide and the Balochistan domicile jobs hub.
You need a Balochistan Local / Domicile Certificate and the qualification of the post (see the table above). One person may apply for more than one post, but each post needs its own application (term 13).
www.njp.gov.pk and create or log in to your profile. The ad mentions a “dedicated tab created for this recruitment exercise”; look for the Balochistan quota / PBS listing there.
Enter your details, education, domicile and experience (typing speed, driving licence, etc. where the post needs it). Upload your documents where NJP asks.
Finish before the NJP closing date. Counting from the 13 November paper the 15 days end about 28 November 2026; apply early because the portal date rules.
Only shortlisted candidates are called. Take original documents; no TA/DA is paid (terms 7 and 10).
Tip: if you are already in government service, arrange your NOC through your department before the interview (term 12). If you apply for two posts, for example Stenotypist and Lower Division Clerk, submit two separate applications. This is our advice from the printed terms.
