The Airports Security Force has opened a large Balochistan quota recruitment for airport security, driving, trade and support posts, with walk-in interviews planned in November. Published in Dawn on 28 October 2026, the round is headlined at 74 posts, covers grades from BPS-01 to BPS-11, and closes for online applications on 11 November 2026 through the National Jobs Portal. Candidates should read the post-wise conditions carefully, because uniformed, trade and support posts have very different requirements.

Uniformed Posts
The uniformed posts are the core of this recruitment and the ones most applicants will target first. Assistant Sub Inspector and Corporal together account for the largest share, and both carry physical standards that must be met in addition to the educational qualification.
Assistant Sub Inspector, BPS-11 — 5 posts: Intermediate or equivalent; merit 4 and female 1; age 18 to 30 years.
Corporal, BPS-07 — 30 posts: Matric or equivalent; merit 26, female 3 and minority 1; age 18 to 30 years.
Corporal Driver, BPS-05 — 6 posts: Matric with a valid HTV or LTV driving licence; Dalbandin 2, Panjgur 1 and Gwadar 3; age 18 to 30 years.
Physical standards: male height at least 5 feet 6 inches, chest 32.75 to 34.75 inches; female height at least 5 feet 2 inches, with weight as per Body Mass Index.
Gender: female candidates may apply for Assistant Sub Inspector, Corporal, Cook and Sweeper posts, subject to each post’s conditions.
Posting areas: Quetta, Gwadar, Khuzdar, Panjgur, Dalbandin and Turbat, as allocated post-wise in the advertisement.
Trade and Technical Posts
Beyond the uniformed ranks, the round includes a set of trade posts based mainly at Gwadar. These suit candidates with a trade certificate and two years of relevant experience, and they are easy to overlook beside the larger Corporal intake, so they deserve a careful read.
Welder, BPS-05 — 1 post, Gwadar: Matric with a welder training certificate from a recognised institute.
Electrician, BPS-05 — 3 posts: Matric with an electrician training certificate and two years of experience; Quetta 1 and Gwadar 2.
Auto Electrician, BPS-05 — 2 posts, Gwadar: Matric with an auto electrician training certificate and two years of experience.
Plumber, BPS-03 — 1 post, Gwadar: Middle pass with a plumber training certificate and two years in repairing and pipe fitting.
Denter/Painter, BPS-03 — 2 posts, Gwadar: Middle pass with a denter or painter training certificate and two years in vehicle denting and painting.
Tailor, BPS-02 — 1 post, Gwadar: Primary pass with two years of relevant experience.
The support posts require only a Primary pass in most cases, which makes this round accessible to candidates who do not hold a Matric or Intermediate certificate. The Cook intake is the largest support group, and several posts are concentrated at Gwadar airport.
Cook, BPS-01 — 8 posts: Primary pass with knowledge of cooking Pakistani dishes; Dalbandin 1, Gwadar 6 and Khuzdar 1; male and female.
Sweeper, BPS-01 — 3 posts: Primary pass; Quetta 1 and Gwadar 2; male and female.
Waiter, BPS-01 — 1 post, Gwadar: Primary pass with two years of relevant experience.
Mali, BPS-01 — 1 post, Gwadar: Primary pass with two years of relevant experience.
Mason, BPS-01 — 1 post, Gwadar: Primary pass with two years of relevant experience.
Age Limit and Relaxation
The age rule is stated in the same form for every post, but the relaxation wording needs care. Applicants should work out their age on the closing date and check which relaxation, if any, applies to their category before assuming they qualify.
General age limit: 18 to 30 years for the posts in this round, with five years of general age relaxation already included in that range, as stated in the reproduced summaries.
Balochistan provision: an additional five years of upper-age relaxation is allowed instead of the existing three-year provision for this special exercise, in addition to the general relaxation, subject to the applicable rules.
Other categories: further relaxation provisions may apply to eligible government employees, armed forces personnel, persons with disabilities, widows or children of deceased employees, and other categories covered by government rules.
Proof: candidates claiming a quota or relaxation must provide supporting documents where required.
Government servants: must apply through the proper channel after obtaining a no-objection certificate.
No travel allowance: no travel or daily allowance will be paid for appearing in tests or interviews.
Online application and the walk-in interview stage are both part of this round, so applicants should not treat one as a substitute for the other. The online deadline comes first, and the interview window that follows is tied to the garrison locations printed in the advertisement.
Step 1: visit the National Jobs Portal at njp.gov.pk and use the dedicated link created for this ASF Balochistan recruitment.
Step 2: register or sign in, then select the post matching your qualification, age, gender, domicile and experience.
Step 3: complete the online form carefully and check all personal information before submitting.
Step 4: submit on or before 11 November 2026 and save or print the application confirmation.
Step 5: prepare for walk-in interviews from 1 to 20 November 2026 at the ASF Garrisons at Quetta, Gwadar and Turbat airports, as directed for your post and location.
Step 6: bring original documents, one set of attested photocopies and four recent passport-size photographs to the interview stage.
Step 7: for help, visit the help desk at the ASF Garrisons at Quetta, Gwadar or Turbat airports.
Official Advertisement
The image below is the ASF Balochistan quota advertisement as reproduced by the job portal. Applicants should compare it with the post list above before applying, because one important caveat applies: the reproduced summaries headline 74 posts, while the post-wise list reproduced here adds to 69 posts. The difference may reflect posts not broken out in the summaries, so the Dawn advertisement and the National Jobs Portal listing should be treated as final for the full allocation.
Official advertisement: Airports Security Force Balochistan Quota Jobs 2026, Dawn, 28 October 2026.
Documents for the interview stage include the original Computerised National Identity Card, original educational certificates and mark sheets, Balochistan domicile certificate, four recent passport-size photographs, one set of attested photocopies, a valid HTV or LTV licence for Corporal Driver applicants, recognised technical training certificates for trade posts, and experience certificates where a post requires them.
This Balochistan quota round gives Matric and Intermediate candidates a direct route into airport security work, and Primary-pass candidates a route into support and trade posts, provided they hold a Balochistan domicile and meet the physical standards for uniformed roles. Apply online through the National Jobs Portal by 11 November 2026, prepare the interview documents early, and check the original Dawn advertisement for the full post allocation, given the headline-versus-list difference noted above.
