NAB Headquarters Stenotypist Jobs 2026 – 2 Balochistan Quota Posts, Islamabad

NAB Headquarters Stenotypist Jobs 2026 – Quick Facts

The National Accountability Bureau has opened two Stenotypist posts at its headquarters in Islamabad. Both seats are reserved for the Balochistan quota on open merit, so only candidates with a Balochistan domicile can compete for them. The posts are temporary, but the advertisement describes them as likely to continue, which makes them a solid entry point into a federal accountability institution.

Last date to apply: 13 November 2026, online only through nab.gov.pk/jobs. Postal or hard-copy applications will not be accepted for this round.

Please note the distinction: this is the Headquarters Islamabad round of two posts. It is a separate recruitment from the NAB Balochistan regional office round for one Steno Typist post in Quetta, which closes around 9 November 2026 and is already covered on niams.pk. Do not mix the two up — this post covers the Islamabad headquarters seats only.

Eligibility Criteria – Who Can Apply

The eligibility bar is straightforward and skill-based. Applicants need a second class or Grade C Intermediate certificate, or an equivalent qualification, from a recognised board. On top of that, they must show a shorthand speed of 80 words per minute and a typing speed of 40 words per minute, plus a three-month certificate in computer operations covering MS Office. Candidates who already hold these skill certificates should keep them ready, because the skill test will check exactly these speeds.

The age limit is 18 to 30 years, and that upper limit already includes five years of general age relaxation. Only Pakistani nationals holding a Balochistan domicile are eligible, since both posts sit on the Balochistan quota. The advertisement also reflects a federal provision dated 22 October 2026 under which, for identified posts up to BPS-16 that need trainable skills such as shorthand, typing or basic computer use, a one-time relaxation of the skill requirement at appointment stage may apply, with proficiency to be gained through departmental training during probation. Applicants who are short of a certificate should read the advertisement’s own wording on this point before deciding.

Post-Wise Vacancy Breakdown

Both seats carry the same scale, qualification and skill standard. There is no separate women, minority or disabled sub-quota printed for this round; the two posts are filled on open merit within the Balochistan quota.

Documents Checklist

Why Apply – Benefits of a NAB Post

A post at NAB headquarters puts a young stenographer inside one of Pakistan’s best-known federal institutions, working on real case files and official correspondence from day one. The BPS-14 scale carries the usual federal allowances, annual increments and leave rules, and a temporary post described as likely to continue often becomes a longer career. For Balochistan domicile holders, a reserved-quota round is also a fairer contest, because applicants compete only within the quota rather than against candidates from the whole country.
