Ministry of Foreign Affairs Jobs 2026 Apply Online

Here is some genuinely good news for job seekers holding a Balochistan domicile — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad has announced 38 government vacancies in its latest advertisement, published in The Nation on 30 October 2026. The openings are reserved under Balochistan’s 6% provincial quota, and most of them are clerical posts that ask for only Matric or Intermediate education, along with a typing or shorthand skill.

The bulk of the vacancies — 28 out of 38 — are for Lower Division Clerks, so this is a particularly strong chance for Matric-pass candidates who can type at 30 words per minute. There are also 5 Stenotypist posts and 3 Upper Division Clerk posts for Intermediate-pass candidates, plus 2 Driver posts for Primary-pass applicants. Applications for the clerical posts must be submitted online through the National Jobs Portal before 08 November 2026, while Driver candidates will be called for a walk-in interview.
