How to Apply on NTS: Step by Step
Image note: the NTS application form for this job was not online yet when we checked (29 Oct 2026), so we do not show screenshots of the form. The steps below follow the printed ad. We never log in or create accounts for you.
Go to www.nts.org.pk → Open Applications (direct link). Look for the SHC&ME Department / Sheikh Zayed Medical College Rahim Yar Khan ad for Assistant (Hub & Spoke Model at Zahir Pir). Only use nts.org.pk.
Note the exact last date, the fee amount and the courier address printed on the application form. These three are not in the newspaper ad.
Enter your name, CNIC, domicile, date of birth, qualification and experience exactly as on your documents. Upload a clear photograph if the form asks. Keep your CNIC number and password safe.
The ad says to attach a deposit slip of the prescribed fee in favour of National Testing Service. Pay only through the challan / method shown on the NTS page (see the NTS “Fee Payment Procedure”). Keep the original slip.
Print the completed form. Prepare 2 sets of attested photocopies of all academic certificates / degrees / diplomas, registration certificate (if any), other relevant documents, domicile, CNIC, experience certificate, plus passport-size photographs (see the checklist for the number).
Send the form, deposit slip, CNIC copy, photographs and documents directly to NTS (not to the hospital) at the address on the NTS form, within 15 working days. Keep the courier receipt and tracking number.
The date of the written test and your roll number slip are given only through the NTS website. NTS also sends SMS, but do not depend on it.

What Is the Zahir Pir Hub & Spoke Hospital?
In the ad, SZMC calls it a “newly established health facility”. Public reports describe the Hub & Spoke Model as a larger central hub hospital connected to smaller health facilities (spokes) in nearby rural areas, so that patients are treated closer to home and the pressure on big city hospitals falls. Zahir Pir (Rahim Yar Khan district) was chosen as a pilot; see this APP report. SZMC has been advertising other Zahir Pir posts through NTS since December 2025, as its career page shows.
Not confirmed: reports differ on the number of beds and on when the facility became fully functional, so we do not print a bed number. The ad does not say whether the Assistant sits at the hub building in Zahir Pir or at the main college in Rahim Yar Khan. Ask SZMC if the posting location matters to you.
What Is Not Confirmed
- Exact last date: only “15 working days” is printed. About 18 November 2026 is our count.
- NTS fee amount and the courier address: they are on the NTS application form, which was not online on 29 October 2026.
- Test date, test pattern and syllabus: not announced.
- Which degree subject / experience counts as “relevant”: not stated.
- Whether the post is based at the Zahir Pir building or in Rahim Yar Khan city: not stated.
- Photos required: the ad says 2 in one place and 4 in another.
- We found no other website carrying this exact Assistant ad when we checked; older Zahir Pir posts on blogs showed different posts and dates.
Karna / Nahi Karna
Karna:
- Apply only on nts.org.pk and read the NTS job page for the exact last date and fee.
- Pay the fee only in favour of National Testing Service through the official challan, and keep the slip.
- Send the documents to NTS by courier within the time, and keep the tracking receipt.
- Prepare 2 sets of attested photocopies and 4 photographs, and keep one full copy for yourself.
- Check that your Punjab domicile, your second-division degree, 5 years of experience and age 25 to 35 on the last date all match before you pay.
- Practice English typing (40 wpm) and MS Office for the test and interview.
Nahi karna:
- Do not pay any agent, WhatsApp number or personal account for a “seat”. The ad asks for money only as the NTS fee slip.
- Do not send documents to the hospital instead of NTS unless the NTS form says so.
- Do not apply if you have no Punjab domicile: the ad is only for Punjab domicile holders.
- Do not send original certificates; send attested copies and keep the originals for the interview.
- Do not submit false experience or fake certificates: it means disqualification at any stage.
- Do not wait for the last day.
