All 21 rows carry the quota “Balochistan (Open)” with the number of seats shown in the vacancies column. Where the newspaper print was too small to read with certainty, we say so.

Age Limit and Relaxations
- Most posts: 18 to 30 years. Drivers: 25 to 35. TGT: up to 35 (NJP: minimum 21).
- The ad says that for this special recruitment only, the upper age relaxation is 5 years instead of the usual 3 years (one-time exemption).
- Serving government / WAPDA employees with at least 2 years of regular service get up to 10 years relaxation.
- WAPDA employees from Balochistan working on daily wages, contract or budget posts can add their WAPDA service years to the age limit, with a stated total of 35 years (30 + 5 years of WAPDA service).
- Age is counted on the last date of receipt of applications (12 November 2026).
Not confirmed: the ad does not print one final upper age after relaxation for each post (NJP only says “federal age relaxation rules apply”). For an 18–30 post the natural reading is 30 + 5 = 35, but check the NJP page of your post and keep your date of birth proof ready.
Job Type: Probation, Regular or Contract
- The ad says the first appointment is for 1 year probation, and regularization depends on satisfactory work. If work or conduct is unsatisfactory during probation, services can be ended without notice.
- Trained teachers (TGTs) and Staff Nurses are appointed on contract / lump-sum basis and will not be regularized.
- NJP labels differ by post: Staff Nurse, Librarian and TGT English show Contract, while Surveyor, Driver LTV, Audit Assistant and Wireless Operator show Regular. We did not check the label of every post: read your own NJP page.
- Salary and allowances are not printed in the ad or on NJP (BPS scale applies). Do not trust a salary figure from WhatsApp.
Last Date: 12 November 2026
NJP shows posted 29 October 2026 and deadline 12 November 2026 (14 days left on the day we checked). The ad prints the same date. Apply early: NJP can be slow near the deadline, and late or incomplete applications are not considered.

How to Apply on NJP: Step by Step
Go to njp.gov.pk and open Balochistan Jobs (posts restricted to Balochistan domicile). Search “WAPDA” or the post name.
Create your account (or sign in) with your own CNIC and mobile number. Never share your password or OTP with anyone.
Each post has its own NJP page (for example Staff Nurse is NJP job 10295). Read the grade, qualification, age and the deadline.
Fill your education, experience and domicile details carefully. The data must match your documents.
NJP says it is mandatory to attach copies of educational and experience certificates, domicile certificate, CNIC and two passport-size photographs in the last section of the CV, titled “Extra attachment”.
Press Apply for your post and take a screenshot of the confirmation. If you qualify for more than one post, apply to each separately. Keep phone and email active.
If you face a technical problem while applying, the ad asks you to contact the WAPDA recruitment office during office hours on 042-99200483 (email printed in the ad: dgrectt@wapda.gov.pk).

Documents to Keep Ready
- CNIC
- Balochistan domicile certificate
- Matric / Intermediate / degree / diploma certificates and transcripts as per your post
- Experience certificates (Junior Technician, Driver, Wireless Operator)
- LTV licence (Drivers) with proof of 5 years after getting it
- Typing and MS Office certificate (Junior Clerk, Stenographer), nursing registration (Staff Nurse), professional education degree (TGT)
- Two passport-size photographs
- If you are a government employee: No Objection Certificate and application through proper channel
Important Conditions From the Ad
- Selection is on a test / interview basis after short-listing on academics per WAPDA recruitment policy and SOPs. (The ad’s printed word looks like “walk-in interview”; we could not read it with certainty.)
- Bring original and attested documents at the interview; educational documents must be verified from HEC-recognized universities and boards.
- No TA/DA for test or interview.
- Incomplete or wrong-information applications are rejected after the last date. False information found later means termination.
- Anyone removed or dismissed from service on disciplinary grounds is not eligible.
- WAPDA can cancel recruitment at any stage and can increase or decrease the number of posts.
- Skill relief up to BPS-16: for posts needing a trainable skill (typing, shorthand, basic computer use), the ad quotes an Establishment Division order dated 22-10-2026 that lets a selected candidate without the certificate be appointed once, then acquire the skill during probation. If the skill is not acquired, the appointment ends.
- Serving WAPDA employees apply through the proper channel (NOC needed).
What Is Not Confirmed
- Salary and benefits: not printed anywhere we could check.
- Test dates, interview place and test type: not announced.
- Row 21: the project name (“GBHP …”) and the full name of “TDPP” (row 20) and the Transport Directorate (row 13) are too small to read with certainty.
- Stenographer-II: shorthand speed is not clearly readable in the print.
- Final upper age after relaxation, for each post (see Age section).
- Job type of every post: NJP shows both “Regular” and “Contract” labels, so check your own post page.
- The ad is not on wapda.gov.pk: the site’s careers page did not load for us on 29 October 2026, so the NJP pages and the newspaper ad are our sources.
- NJP shows 15 WAPDA job pages for the 37 vacancies on its first two list pages; we checked the Staff Nurse, Librarian, Driver, TGT English and Wireless Operator pages in detail.
Karna / Nahi Karna
Karna:
- Apply only on njp.gov.pk and apply early (deadline 12 November 2026).
- Pick the post that matches your exact qualification using the table, and check the age for that post.
- Attach all documents in “Extra attachment” including two photographs.
- Drivers: check that your LTV licence is valid and that 5 years have passed after it was issued.
- Share this with Balochistan candidates (nurses, clerks, drivers, teachers, diploma holders).
Nahi karna:
- Do not pay anyone for a seat. Easypaisa/JazzCash/WhatsApp payments for a “WAPDA job” are a scam.
- Do not send documents by post or courier: they are not entertained.
- Do not apply without Balochistan domicile: these posts are reserved for it.
- Do not claim experience or licence years you cannot prove.
- Do not wait for the last day: NJP gets slow.
