Higher Education Commission (HEC)
HEC Jobs 2026 – Accountant & LDC, Balochistan Quota, 2 Posts, Apply Before 10 November
The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has announced two new vacancies under the Balochistan provincial quota, and applications are open now. The posts are Accountant (BPS-16) and Lower Division Clerk (BPS-11), both on a regular basis at the Commission’s head office in Islamabad. Because these seats are reserved under the 6% Balochistan quota, only candidates who hold a Balochistan domicile can apply for them.
For job seekers from Balochistan, this is a rare chance to join a federal institution at its headquarters. HEC oversees universities across the country, funds research, and runs degree attestation and scholarship programmes — steady federal service in a professional office in Sector H-9, Islamabad.
Last date to apply: 10 November 2026. Applications are accepted online only, through the National Job Portal.
Why Apply for These HEC Jobs
A federal government post on a regular basis is one of the most sought-after openings in Pakistan, and these two seats carry extra value for Balochistan candidates. The quota exists so that talented people from the province get a fair share of federal jobs, and the age rules here are generous: on top of the standard five-year general relaxation, Balochistan candidates receive a further five years of relaxation.
The two posts also suit very different profiles. The Accountant role fits a candidate with several years of hands-on accounts experience who wants a BPS-16 officer-level position. The LDC role needs no prior experience at all — only Matriculation and a typing speed of 30 words per minute — which makes it a realistic first government job for a young applicant from Balochistan.

What the Two Roles Involve
An Accountant in a federal commission handles day-to-day financial work: preparing bills and vouchers, keeping expenditure records, checking claims against the budget, and helping with audit replies. Accuracy matters more than speed here, and the three-year experience requirement reflects that.
A Lower Division Clerk is the backbone of office administration: preparing letters and notes, maintaining files and registers, and dispatching correspondence. The typing test is the key hurdle — 30 words per minute is a modest but real standard, so practise on a keyboard before any test is announced.

- Experience certificates for the Accountant post (covering at least 3 years of relevant work)
