If you also qualify for other ministries, see our Finance Division Balochistan quota post and the full Balochistan domicile jobs list.

All 9 Posts (77 Seats) With Qualification
We read every row of the advertisement. Age limit printed for every post: 18–35 years. Qualification text is as printed.

What 80/40 w.p.m. means: shorthand 80 words per minute and typing 40 words per minute. Practise with our English typing tutor. Drivers and riders should check that the licence is valid before the interview: the ad asks for a valid licence (LTV for Staff Car Driver).
Naib Qasid: 58 Seats Split Into Merit, Women and Minority
Naib Qasid is the biggest post by far. The ad splits the 58 seats like this:
| Group | Seats |
| Balochistan Merit (open) | 49 |
| Women | 6 |
| Minority | 3 |
| Total Naib Qasid | 58 (49 + 6 + 3) |
Farash has 5 seats: 4 merit and 1 for women. NJP lists one Naib Qasid page with 58 slots and one Farash page with 5, so the groups are not shown separately there. Women and minority candidates with a Balochistan domicile should read the ad and apply on the same NJP page.
Age Limit: The Ad and NJP Do Not Match
Check this before you apply. The advertisement prints an age limit of 18–35 years for all nine posts. The NJP listings show Max Age: 30 years and say “age relaxation as per applicable Government rules”. The two numbers differ and we could not confirm which one is applied.
What we suggest: if you are 31 to 35 and still want to try, apply anyway on NJP (the dedicated tab may apply the ad’s 35), keep your CNIC and degree proof ready, and phone the Section Officer on 051-9206639 to ask which limit and which cut-off date is applied. If you are 30 or under, this does not affect you. Check your exact age with the Educativz age calculator for govt jobs.
Dates and Deadline
| What | Date |
| NJP listings posted (as shown on NJP) | 2 November 2026 |
| Advertisement in The Nation (Lahore, page 5) | 4 November 2026 (Wednesday) |
| NJP application deadline (as shown on NJP) | 16 November 2026 (Monday) |
| Ad rule: online within 15 days of publication | About 19 November 2026 if counted from 4 Nov (our calculation); about 17 Nov from 2 Nov |

How to Apply: Step by Step
You need a Balochistan local / domicile certificate and the qualification of the post (Primary for most posts, Matric for LDC, Intermediate with 80/40 for Stenotypist, a valid licence for drivers and riders).
Go to njp.gov.pk, sign in or create your NJP account and complete your profile (CNIC, domicile, education).
Open Balochistan Jobs on NJP and look for “Ministry of Planning, Development & Special Initiatives”, or go straight to the post: Stenotypist, LDC, Staff Car Driver, Dispatch Rider, Duplicating Machine Operator, Naib Qasid, Farash, Chowkidar, Sweeper.
Click Apply on the post that fits you and keep a screenshot or application number. Apply early: NJP can be slow near the deadline.
Only short-listed candidates are called for the walk-in interview, with the help of the new Employment Cells at district level. The ad does not say how you will be informed, so keep your NJP phone and email active.
Bring original documents (term 6). No TA/DA is paid. Date and venue are not printed: wait for the call.

Nahi karna:
- Do not pay anyone for a seat or a “shortlist”. The ad asks for no money.
- Do not just arrive at the ministry or a district office: only short-listed candidates are called.
- Do not wait until the last day on NJP.
- Do not apply without a Balochistan domicile: it is the first condition.
