Guddu Barrage Irrigation Sindh Jobs 2026 – 10 Stenographer & Data Processing Assistant Posts, Apply by 27 November (Expected)

The Irrigation Department of the Government of Sindh has opened 10 regular posts at the office of the Chief Engineer, Irrigation Guddu Barrage Region, in Sukkur. The two openings are Stenographer (BPS-14) and Data Processing Assistant (BPS-12), and applications are accepted online only through the Sindh Job Portal. Candidates from Sukkur, Kashmore (Kandhkot), Jacobabad and Shikarpur districts can apply, depending on the post. This is a regular government recruitment, so selected candidates will join on the provincial government pay scales for their grade.

Last date to apply: 27 November 2026 (Expected). The advertisement gives the closing as within 15 days of publication, so readers should confirm the exact date on the Sindh Job Portal before submitting.

Quick Facts — Guddu Barrage Jobs 2026

Vacancies at Guddu Barrage Region

The advertisement lists only two titles, and the seat count is small and clear. One seat is for a Stenographer in BPS-14, reserved for candidates holding a Sukkur domicile. The remaining nine seats are for Data Processing Assistants in BPS-12, open to candidates from four districts of northern Sindh. Together the two titles add up to 10 posts, and both are regular posts rather than contract or daily-wage work.

Guddu Barrage stands on the River Indus near Kashmore and is one of the main barrages that feed Sindh’s canal network. The Chief Engineer’s office at Sukkur manages the barrage region, so the two posts support the office and data work behind irrigation records and correspondence.

Who Can Apply — Eligibility Criteria

Both posts need a graduation degree and a pass in the Sindh Testing Service (STS) Graduation Category General Screening Test. Read the conditions below before applying, because the STS certificate is compulsory for both titles.

Stenographer (BPS-14) — 1 Post

• Graduation in at least second division from a university recognised by the Higher Education Commission.
• Certificate in English Shorthand and Typing from an institute recognised by the Sindh Board of Technical Education or STEVTA, with a speed of 120 words per minute in shorthand and 35 words per minute in typing.
• Certificate in MS Office from a recognised institute.
• STS Graduation Category General Screening Test passed with at least 40 marks, with the certificate in hand.
• Age 18 to 28 years, with a five-year relaxation in the upper age limit under the Sindh Government notification.
• Domicile of Sukkur district.

Data Processing Assistant (BPS-12) — 9 Posts

• Graduation in Computer Science in at least second division from an HEC-recognised university.
• One year of experience as a Data Processing Assistant.
• STS Graduation Category General Screening Test passed with at least 40 marks, with the certificate in hand.
• Age 18 to 28 years, with a five-year relaxation in the upper age limit under the Sindh Government notification.
• Domicile of Sukkur, Kashmore (Kandhkot), Jacobabad or Shikarpur district.

The advertisement does not print a salary figure for either post. Pay will follow the government policy for the relevant basic pay scale, so candidates should not trust any salary number quoted by unofficial pages.

Important Dates

One honest note about the date: the advertisement itself prints no calendar date and says only that applications must reach the portal within 15 days of publication. Two listings differ on the publication day, so the working date used here is 27 November 2026 and it is marked (Expected). The Sindh Job Portal listing for this recruitment is the final authority, so apply early rather than waiting for the last day.

Why Apply for These Sindh Government Jobs

Regular BPS posts in the Irrigation Department carry the stability that contract work does not: a fixed pay scale, annual increments and the service protections of a provincial government job. The nine Data Processing Assistant seats give computer science graduates in four districts a realistic chance with only one year of experience, and the STS certificate requirement keeps the field limited to prepared candidates.

Selection Process and Rules

• Only shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview.
• Original documents must be shown at the time of the interview.
• Government employees must obtain an NOC from their department and present the original at the interview.
• No TA or DA will be paid for the test or the interview.
• Incomplete applications, and applications received after the due date, will not be considered.
