HEC Jobs 2026: Accountant and LDC Posts, Apply by 10 November

The Higher Education Commission has announced HEC Jobs 2026 for Balochistan domicile holders, with 2 regular posts at its Islamabad headquarters and a last date of 10 November 2026. One seat is an Accountant post in BPS-16 and the other is a Lower Division Clerk post in BPS-11, both under the Balochistan 6 per cent provincial quota. The posts are small in number but permanent, and selected candidates can be posted anywhere in Pakistan. Applications are accepted online only through the National Job Portal, and no hard copy of the CV or documents needs to be sent.

Job Details

Why These HEC Jobs Matter

The Higher Education Commission is the federal body that regulates universities and degree programmes across Pakistan, and a post at its headquarters puts a candidate at the centre of higher education administration. Because both posts are regular and permanent, they carry the security and benefits of federal service, even though only two seats are open. The accountant post suits commerce graduates with government sector experience, while the clerk post suits Matric holders with typing speed, so two very different candidate profiles can apply in the same round.

• Permanent posts:: Both posts are on a regular basis, not contract work.
• Two profiles:: Accountant needs B.Com or BBA with experience, while the clerk post needs Matric with typing speed.
• Quota clarity:: Both seats sit under the Balochistan 6 per cent provincial quota, so domicile decides eligibility first.
• No hard copy:: No hard copy of the CV or documents needs to be sent. The online application is the complete application.
• No fee or salary printed:: The advertisement prints no salary figure and no application fee, so this article states neither.
• Posting flexibility:: Selected candidates can be posted anywhere in Pakistan, so applicants should be ready to move.

Eligibility Criteria & Qualifications

Each post has its own qualification, experience and age band, and the age relaxation is layered rather than summed. Candidates should read the age wording exactly as printed, because adding the two relaxation layers into one invented ceiling is the most common mistake in this round. Balochistan domicile comes first: without it, no qualification or experience can make an application eligible.

Accountant

• Vacancies:: 1 post in BPS-16, regular.
• Qualification:: B.Com or BBA from a recognised university. An unrelated degree does not fit this post, even with accounts experience alongside it.
• Experience:: 3 years of relevant experience in the relevant field in any government, semi-government or autonomous body.
• Experience that does not count:: Part-time, honorary, apprentice and internee work does not count towards the 3 years. Private sector accounts work also does not meet the sector test.
• Age Limit:: 21 to 30 years, plus 5 years of general age relaxation, plus 5 years of additional relaxation for candidates from Balochistan, as printed in the advertisement.
• Domicile:: Balochistan domicile required under the 6 per cent provincial quota.

Lower Division Clerk (LDC)

• Vacancies:: 1 post in BPS-11, regular.
• Qualification:: Matric.
• Typing Speed:: Minimum typing speed of 30 words per minute. Matric alone does not complete the requirement.
• Training:: The selected candidate must complete a 3-week Basic IT Training Course, including MS Office, conducted by NITB within one year of selection.
• Experience:: No experience is stated for this post.
• Age Limit:: 18 to 25 years, plus 5 years of general age relaxation, plus 5 years of additional relaxation for candidates from Balochistan, as printed in the advertisement.
• Domicile:: Balochistan domicile required under the 6 per cent provincial quota.

General Requirements

• Domicile first:: Only candidates with a Balochistan domicile certificate can apply. The quota test comes before qualification, experience and age.
• Age layers:: Read the two relaxation layers as printed, without adding them into a single summed ceiling. Check your age layer by layer against your date of birth and domicile.
• Government servants:: Government servants must route the application through the proper channel before submitting.
• Interview documents:: At interview, applicants must present originals plus attested copies of HEC-recognised degrees and certificates.
• Fake information:: Fake or bogus information cancels the candidature at any stage, including experience claims.
• HEC discretion:: HEC reserves the right to reject any or all applications without assigning any reason, and it can increase or decrease the number of vacancies.
• Official contact:: Queries can be sent to the Assistant Director (HRM), HEC, H-9, Islamabad, on 051-90400000, 051-90401413 or 051-90401425, or by email at sup_careers@hec.gov.pk.

How to Apply Online

HEC accepts applications only through the National Job Portal. Candidates must confirm that their domicile, qualification, experience and age layers all fit one post, complete the online application with accurate details, and submit it before the closing date. No hard copy needs to be sent, so sending documents by post only wastes effort.

1. Step 1: Confirm that your domicile, qualification, experience and age layers all fit one post in the table above.
2. Step 2: Open the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk) and find the Higher Education Commission vacancy.
3. Step 3: Complete the online application with accurate degree, experience and domicile details.
4. Step 4: Government servants should apply through the proper channel before submitting.
5. Step 5: Review every entry against the post table, then submit online by 10 November 2026 through the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk), and keep a record of your submission.

Submit early, because an application after 10 November 2026 misses the cutoff and will not be entertained.

Important Dates

Selection Process and Important Conditions

HEC keeps wide discretion over this round, because it reserves the right to reject any or all applications without assigning any reason, and it can increase or decrease the number of vacancies. The two advertised seats are therefore the advertised figure, not a guaranteed final figure. No travel allowance is admissible for appearing, and selected candidates can be posted anywhere in Pakistan on a regular basis.

• HEC discretion:: HEC can reject any or all applications without assigning a reason, and it can change the vacancy count.
• No TA or DA:: No travel allowance is admissible for appearing in the selection process.
• Posting anywhere:: Selected candidates can be posted anywhere in Pakistan, even though the posts are at the Islamabad headquarters.
• Interview documents:: Originals plus attested copies of degrees and certificates must be presented at the interview.
• Late applications:: Incomplete or late applications will not be entertained.

Conclusion

HEC Jobs 2026 offer just 2 regular posts, but they are permanent federal seats at the Higher Education Commission headquarters, with a closing date of 10 November 2026. The Accountant post needs B.Com or BBA with 3 years of government sector experience, while the clerk post needs Matric with 30 words per minute typing speed. If your Balochistan domicile, qualification, experience and age layers all fit one post, apply online through the National Job Portal and keep a record of your submission.
