Ministry of Economic Affairs Jobs 2026 – 6 Balochistan Quota Posts in Islamabad, Apply by 18 November

Ministry of Economic Affairs Jobs 2026 — Quick Facts

Last Date to Apply: 18 November 2026 — apply early and confirm the date on your own NJP listing before submitting.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs has opened six regular posts for Balochistan domicile holders, and the round covers the full clerical ladder in one advertisement — from Naib Qasid at BPS-01 up to Assistant at BPS-15. The ministry handles Pakistan’s economic policy and external economic relations, so the selected candidates will work at the heart of the federal government in Islamabad. Applications run only through the National Job Portal, and the live NJP listings confirm 18 November 2026 as the closing date for every post in this round.

One point needs stating plainly: an early trace of this round quoted 26 posts, but no source supports that number. The verified round is six posts across five titles, and the NJP listings match that count exactly — one Assistant, two Stenotypists, one UDC, one LDC and one Naib Qasid. This post uses the verified six-post round only.

Ministry of Economic Affairs Posts and Vacancies

All six seats are regular government posts, not contract or project posts. The advertisement was published on 4 November 2026, and the NJP listings for all five titles show “Available till Nov 18, 2026”. Only online applications through NJP are accepted — applications by email or hard copy will not be entertained.

Who Can Apply for Ministry of Economic Affairs Jobs

Only candidates holding a Balochistan domicile can apply. This is a strict condition, and applicants from other provinces should not apply against these seats. The qualifications below come from the NJP listings for this round. The advertisement does not print a separate age limit in the material available to us, so check the age limit on your own NJP listing before you apply — the listing carries the full terms for each post.

The Assistant post needs graduation, preferably with computer literacy. The selected candidate will have to complete a six-week Basic IT Training Course, including MS Office, conducted by the National Information Technology Board (NITB). This is the senior post in the round and suits graduates who want a regular federal clerical career.

The Stenotypist posts need Intermediate, with a minimum shorthand speed of 80 words per minute and typing speed of 40 words per minute. Candidates must be computer literate. Two Stenotypists will be hired, so this is the largest single title in the round.

The UDC post needs Intermediate. The selected candidate will have to complete a three-week Basic IT Training Course, including MS Office, conducted by NITB. The LDC post needs Matric with a minimum typing speed of 30 words per minute, and the selected candidate will also complete the three-week NITB Basic IT Training Course. The Naib Qasid post needs a Primary pass.

Why These Ministry of Economic Affairs Jobs Matter

Regular federal posts under a provincial quota are hard to come by, and this round is one of the few this year that covers the whole clerical scale in a single advertisement. A candidate with a Primary pass, a Matric certificate, Intermediate, or a graduation degree can each find a matching post here, and all six seats carry regular government service terms rather than a short contract.

Working in the Ministry of Economic Affairs also puts you close to the centre of government: the ministry deals with foreign economic assistance, economic policy coordination and relations with international financial institutions. For a Stenotypist or UDC, that means steady office work in Islamabad with a clear path to promotion under the federal rules. The application itself costs nothing but care — fill in your NJP profile accurately, because any misrepresentation can lead to disqualification.
