Why Apply for a Cabinet Division Job?
A federal government post in Islamabad offers stability that private jobs rarely match. Salaries follow the Basic Pay Scale with regular increments, and employees receive medical coverage and pension benefits. For candidates from Balochistan, this round is especially valuable because the competition is limited to Balochistan-domiciled applicants.
Documents You May Need
Keep these ready before you start the online form, so you do not get stuck halfway:
- Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC)
- Balochistan domicile certificate
- Educational certificates and degrees
- Valid driving licence (for the driver post)
- Recent passport-size photograph
- Experience certificates, if any
- NOC from your current department, if you are already in government service
Do not send any documents by post at this stage. The NJP application is online, and documents are normally checked only when you are shortlisted.
