Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of Pakistan
Key highlights: 37 posts in federal law offices and special courts/tribunals in Balochistan — grades BPS-01 to BPS-14 — Balochistan domicile only — walk-in interviews, no written test — apply online through the National Job Portal — last date 12 November 2026.
The Ministry of Law and Justice has opened 37 posts in the federal law offices and special courts and tribunals that sit in Balochistan province, under advertisement number 8(126)/2026-A-V. The posts run from reader and stenotypist in BPS-14 down to naib qasid, farash, chowkidar and sweeper in BPS-01, so the round covers graduates, intermediate passers, matric passers and primary passers alike. Like the other rounds in the federal Balochistan drive, selection runs through walk-in interviews at district level, with no entry test and no written test.
Last date to apply: 12 November 2026. That is the date the portal-based count of the Balochistan drive gives for this ministry’s 11 listings. Two honest conflicts sit behind it: the advertisement itself says only “within 15 days of publication” without a clearly printed publication date, and one listing site prints 14 November instead. Apply early, and check the live listing on njp.gov.pk before the deadline, so the conflict cannot cost you the chance.

One counting note, stated plainly: the visible station-wise figures in the advertisement add up to 35, while the advertisement prints the total as 37. This post uses the advertised total of 37 in its title and tables, but candidates should verify the final number with the ministry — the two missing seats are not assigned to any post in the visible breakdown. The naib qasid group, with 13 seats across five stations, is the largest single post in the round.
Eligibility for Law and Justice Posts
Reader asks for graduation. Stenotypist asks for intermediate, shorthand at 80 words per minute, typing at 40 words per minute, and computer literacy. UDC asks for intermediate, with a three-week basic IT training course in MS Office to be completed through NITB after selection and before the probation period ends. Nazir asks for intermediate. LDC asks for matriculation with typing at 30 words per minute, plus the same NITB basic IT course after selection. Driver asks for a primary pass, a valid driving licence, and familiarity with traffic rules. Bailiff asks for matriculation. Naib qasid, farash, chowkidar and sweeper ask for a primary pass. The clerical and support posts are filled on a local basis, which means the station matters: a naib qasid seat in Zhob is not interchangeable with one in Quetta.
Age Limits for Law and Justice Jobs
Most posts carry an age limit of 18 to 25 years. The driver post is the exception, at 18 to 30 years. On top of those base limits, Balochistan candidates get five years of upper age relaxation instead of the existing three years, in addition to five years of general age relaxation, under the Establishment Division arrangement that covers this whole recruitment exercise. As with the other Balochistan rounds, the exact combined figure is best confirmed on the portal listing for your post, because the advertisement states the relaxations without spelling out a single summed total.
How Selection Works — Walk-in Interviews, No Test
Recruitment for BPS-01 to BPS-15 in this round is conducted through walk-in interviews, without an entry or written test. Interviews happen at district level in Balochistan, helped by the newly established employment cells, so candidates are seen near their own districts rather than travelling to Islamabad. Selection follows the government recruitment policy in force. One practical point from the advertisement: for stenotypist and LDC posts, a one-time relaxation may be allowed for acquiring the prescribed shorthand, typing or basic computer proficiency after initial appointment, through departmental on-the-job training. Government employees must apply through the proper channel and provide a no-objection certificate, and selected candidates must submit a medical certificate as required under the civil service appointment rules.
