Last Date and Walk-in Interview: What the Ad Actually Says

Skill relaxation (22.10.2026 O.M.): for identified posts that need typing, shorthand or basic computer skill, the requirement is relaxed one time at the time of first appointment.

They must show a departmental NOC that states the date of appointment and nature of employment (regular, contract, etc.) at interview or joining. Their service will not be regularised in QESCO.

How to Apply on NJP: Step by Step
Go to njp.gov.pk and open the Balochistan jobs page (or search “QESCO”).
Look for “Quetta Electric Supply Company” posts. Apply for the post that matches your education and experience; a separate form is needed for each post.
Check qualification, experience, age, Balochistan domicile and the exact closing date shown on NJP.
Create your NJP account (or sign in) with your own CNIC and mobile number. Never share your password or OTP with anyone.
Fill personal details, Balochistan domicile, education, experience and date of birth carefully. Incorrect information means rejection.
Submit, then save a screenshot of the confirmation. Keep your phone and email active for the interview call. Do not send a hard copy: hand-delivered applications are not entertained.

Documents to Keep Ready
- CNIC and Balochistan local / domicile certificate (originals needed at the interview)
- Educational certificates and mark sheets for your post
- Technical posts: Polytechnic diploma or trade certificate, and experience letters where the post asks for years of experience
- Clerical, data and commercial posts: NITB/TEVTA IT course certificate (MS Office); typing or shorthand proof where listed
- Vehicle Driver: valid LTV/HTV licence (5 years old) and the 1-week Police / Motorway Police certificate
- Serving government employees: NOC stating date of appointment and nature of employment
- Passport-size photos and a printed copy of your NJP application
What Is Not Confirmed
- Salary: not printed in the ad. Posts are “lump sum”, so QESCO’s own figure per post is not known to us.
- Exact closing date: the ad says “within 15 days of advertisement”. We counted from 30 October 2026, so about 14 November; check NJP.
- Interview dates, districts and venues: not printed. Watch NJP and QESCO notices.
- NJP listing: when we checked the Balochistan list on 30 October 2026, we did not see the QESCO posts on its first page yet. Listings usually appear within a day or two, so check again.
- QESCO website: its security certificate had expired when we tried to open it, so we relied on the newspaper ad only.
- Which posts count as “identified” for the typing / computer relaxation: not listed in the ad.
Karna / Nahi Karna
Karna:
- Check your Balochistan domicile, date of birth and certificates today.
- Apply on njp.gov.pk as soon as the posts appear; do not wait for the last day.
- Apply for the post that fits you, and submit one form per post.
- Prepare originals and attested copies for the walk-in interview.
- Join the WhatsApp channel below for the interview schedule when it comes.
Nahi karna:
- Do not pay any agent. No fee is mentioned in the ad. Anyone asking money by Easypaisa, JazzCash or WhatsApp for a QESCO “seat” or “list” is a fraudster.
- Do not apply without Balochistan domicile: the application will be wasted.
- Do not apply for a post where you miss the licence, certificate or years of experience.
- Do not send hard copies: hand-submitted applications are not entertained.
- Do not expect TA/DA: none is paid for interviews.
