The Cabinet Division of the Government of Pakistan has announced 7 regular government posts on the National Jobs Portal, and the last date to apply online is 10 November 2026. The posts are Staff Car Driver in BPS-04, with 5 vacancies, and Stenotypist in BPS-14, with 2 vacancies. Both posts are offered under the federal Balochistan Initiative, which means only candidates holding a Balochistan domicile can apply. The two posts are listed separately on the National Jobs Portal, so every applicant must apply on the listing for the post they actually want.

A regular federal post in Islamabad is a strong opportunity for Balochistan candidates, because it offers a federal pay scale, a stable posting in the Cabinet Division and the security of a regular government job. The driver posts suit candidates with a Primary education and a valid licence, while the stenotypist posts suit Intermediate candidates with shorthand and typing skills. With only 7 posts in total, competition will be focused, but the eligibility bar is clear and the online process is simple for candidates who prepare their documents in advance.

Post-Wise Eligibility in Detail
The Staff Car Driver post needs a Primary pass education, a valid driving licence and a good knowledge of traffic rules, and the main duty is driving official vehicles for the Cabinet Division. The Stenotypist post needs Intermediate education, a shorthand speed of 80 words per minute, a typing speed of 40 words per minute and computer literacy. No separate experience requirement is stated on the portal listings for either post, which makes both posts open to fresh candidates who meet the education and skill conditions.
Driver education: Primary pass, with a valid driving licence and knowledge of traffic rules.
Driver age limit: Maximum 35 years, with federal age relaxation rules applied as per the listing.
Stenotypist education: Intermediate, with shorthand and typing skills and computer literacy.

Experience: No experience requirement is stated on the portal listings for either post.
Applications for both Cabinet Division posts are accepted online only through the National Jobs Portal, and applications sent by hand, post or courier will not be entertained. Candidates need a portal account, and they must open the correct listing for their post: the Staff Car Driver listing carries reference PID (I) 3766/26, while the Stenotypist listing carries reference PID (I) 3765/26. Both listings were posted on 25 October 2026 and both close on 10 November 2026.
Step 1: Open the National Jobs Portal at https://njp.gov.pk and log in to your account, or create one with your CNIC and email.
Step 3: Complete your portal CV with education, licence details for drivers, and shorthand and typing details for stenotypists.
Step 4: Press Apply on the correct listing and check that your application shows as submitted.
Step 5: Submit well before 10 November 2026 and keep a record of your submitted application.
Candidates who want both posts cannot use one application for both, because the listings are separate. If you qualify for both, submit a separate application on each listing before the deadline.
Selection Process Explained
After the portal closes on 10 November 2026, shortlisted candidates will be called for the next stage as per the Cabinet Division process. Drivers can expect a driving assessment in addition to document checking, while stenotypists can expect a shorthand and typing test to confirm the speeds stated in the advertisement. Original documents, including the CNIC, domicile certificate, educational certificates and driving licence for drivers, will be checked before final selection.
Shortlisting: Shortlisted candidates are contacted after the portal closes on 10 November 2026.
Driver test: Drivers should expect a driving assessment and a check of their licence and traffic knowledge.
Stenotypist test: Stenotypists should expect a shorthand and typing test at the advertised speeds.
Document check: Original CNIC, Balochistan domicile, education certificates and licence will be verified.
No fee warning: Apply only on the official portal and never pay anyone who promises selection for money.
The most common mistake in portal jobs is applying on the wrong listing, and that risk is high here because the two Cabinet Division posts look similar on the portal. Another common mistake is leaving the portal CV incomplete, because an incomplete CV can hide a qualification or skill that the shortlisting system needs to see. Balochistan candidates should also confirm that their domicile certificate is ready before applying, because a missing domicile document can block an otherwise strong application.
Wrong listing: Apply on the driver listing for driving and the stenotypist listing for shorthand work, never the other way round.
Incomplete CV: Fill every CV section on the portal, including education, skills and licence details.
Missing domicile: Keep your Balochistan domicile certificate ready, because both posts need it.
Late application: Submit before 10 November 2026, because the portal can slow down on the last day.
Fake agents: Never pay an agent for selection, because the portal process is free and merit-based.
