All 11 Posts: Post-Wise Table
We read every row of the advertisement. All posts carry the age limit 18-28. The “District” column shows how many seats are for Shikarpur and how many for Larkana domicile holders.
| # | Post | BPS | Seats | Qualification / experience (as printed) | District seats |
| 1 | Cycle Messenger | 01 | 1 | Middle Pass | Shikarpur 1 |
| 2 | Beldar / Cooly | 01 | 20 | Primary Pass | Shikarpur 13, Larkana 7 |

Seat Count Check: 52 = Shikarpur 41 + Larkana 11
The ad does not print a grand total, so we added the rows ourselves. The district split inside every row matches the seat number in that row, so we found no mismatch:
| Check | Working | Result |
| Total seats | 1 + 20 + 11 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 | 52 |
| Shikarpur district | 1 + 13 + 10 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 1 | 41 |
| Larkana district | 0 + 7 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 | 11 |
| Shikarpur + Larkana | 41 + 11 | 52 (matches) |
| By grade | BPS-01: 50 seats; BPS-04: Darogha 1 + Driver 1 = 2 seats | 52 |
What this means for you: a Larkana domicile holder can compete only for the 11 Larkana seats (Beldar 7, Chowkidar 1, Muccadum / Malhi 1, Darogha 1, Sweeper 1). The only Darogha seat (BPS-04) is for Larkana. Everyone else must look at the Shikarpur seats.

Last Date: 25 November 2026
The ad says the application must be submitted to the office of the Shikarpur Drainage Division Shikarpur by 25 November 2026. That gives about 3 weeks from the 4 November advertisement. The letter is dated 29 October 2026, so do not wait for the last week.

What Is Not Confirmed
- Salary: only the pay scale (BPS-01 / BPS-04) is printed. We quote no rupee figure.
- Official notice: on 4 November 2026 we searched iwork4sindh.com (the “I Work for Sindh” portal printed on the ad) and the Sindh Irrigation Department site and found no separate listing of this Shikarpur Drainage Division ad. Aggregator pages list older Drainage Division ads only. The Dawn advertisement is our only source.

- Age counting date: not printed.
- Which seats the quotas cover: not printed.
- Test date, type and place: not announced.
- Fee: the ad mentions no fee. Never pay a stranger.
- BPS-05 to BPS-15: the ad header refers to minutes of a meeting of 27-10-2026 chaired by the Deputy Commissioner Shikarpur about BPS-01 to BPS-04 and BPS-05 to BPS-15 recruitment. This ad covers BPS-01 to BPS-04 only; no BPS-05 to BPS-15 posts are printed.
Karna / Nahi Karna
Karna:
- Check that your domicile district (Shikarpur or Larkana) has a seat for the post you want, using the table above.
- Submit the form well before 25 November 2026 and collect a receipt.
- Attach attested copies, 2 photographs and all documents the post asks for.
- Call 0726-9202652 in office hours to confirm the address and anything unclear.
- Share this with young men and women in Shikarpur, Larkana and nearby towns.
Nahi karna:
- Do not canvass or bring recommendations: the ad says it disqualifies you.
- Do not pay anyone for a seat. Easypaisa / JazzCash / WhatsApp payments to an “agent” are a scam: the ad asks for no money.
- Do not send original certificates: attested copies only.
- Do not leave it for the last day.
- Do not trust a salary figure or a “test date” from WhatsApp: the ad prints none.
