Eligibility Criteria

• Candidates must hold a valid Balochistan domicile — this recruitment is only for the Balochistan (Open) quota.
• Qualification and experience are different for every post, so check the requirement of your chosen post in the official advertisement before applying.
• Age is calculated on the closing date, 12 November 2026. The general age limit is 18 to 30 years; TGT posts allow up to 35 years, and Driver (LTV) posts require 25 to 35 years.
• A one-time general age relaxation of 5 years is admissible for this specific recruitment. Government / WAPDA employees with at least 2 years of regular service can get age relaxation of up to 10 years.
• Educational certificates and degrees must be from HEC-recognised universities and recognised boards or institutes.
• Government employees must apply through the proper channel and submit the required NOC or permission. Candidates already serving in WAPDA must apply for an NOC through the WAPDA HR Division before the closing date.
• Candidates dismissed or debarred from service on disciplinary grounds are not eligible to apply.
• For posts up to BPS-16 that need trainable skills such as typing, shorthand or basic computer proficiency, a one-time relaxation applies: if a selected candidate does not hold the required skill certificate at the time of selection, they can acquire the proficiency through departmental on-the-job training during the probation period.
