Eligibility Criteria
- Domicile: District Umerkot domicile is mandatory. Candidates from other districts cannot apply for this round.
- Age limit: 18 to 28 years. Age relaxation applies as per the Government of Sindh rules.
- Education: Primary pass or literacy for Naib Qasid, Chowkidar and Sanitary Worker; a valid LTV/HTV licence plus 5 years of experience for the Driver post.
- Gender: Male and female candidates holding Umerkot domicile may apply, as per the advertisement.
What the Jobs Involve
A Naib Qasid carries office files, delivers papers between sections, and supports the daily running of a school or education office. A Chowkidar guards school and office premises, keeps watch over buildings and equipment, and reports anything unusual. A Sanitary Worker keeps classrooms, offices and washrooms clean and hygienic. The Driver transports education officers and official material and keeps a proper logbook of every trip. All four roles are the backbone of a district education office, and all of them are regular government posts once probation is completed.

No test or interview date is printed in the advertisement, so shortlisted candidates should watch for a notice from the district education office after the closing date. No TA/DA is generally payable for appearing in a test or interview.
Do Not Mix This With the Separate Umerkot ES&HS Notice
Umerkot has a second, separate education advertisement running at the same time: the District Education Officer (Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary), Umerkot, has advertised 256 posts (reference INF-KRY 4778/2026, Nawaiwaqt, 28 October 2026), also closing on 10 November 2026. That is a different office and a different vacancy list. This post covers only the Primary office’s 402-post round. If you are eligible for both, apply to each office separately with its own application.
