Pakistan Marine Academy
Karachi’s Pakistan Marine Academy, the country’s merchant-navy training institution, has opened three support posts reserved for Balochistan domicile holders. The advertisement appeared in Dawn on 30 October 2026, and applications are accepted online through the National Job Portal (NJP) within 15 days of publication — which makes the working last date 14 November 2026.
Quick Facts: Pakistan Marine Academy Jobs 2026
| Organization | Pakistan Marine Academy, Karachi |
| Total posts | 3 |
| Job location | Karachi, Sindh |
| Domicile / quota | Balochistan only (6% provincial quota) |
| Advertisement | Dawn, 30 October 2026 |
| How to apply | Online only, through the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk) |
| Last date | 14 November 2026 (15 days from 30 October publication — calculated, see note) |
Post-Wise Details
| Post | BPS | Posts | Qualification | Age |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper Division Clerk (UDC) | BPS-13 | 1 | Intermediate | 18–30 years + 5 years Balochistan relaxation |
| Lower Division Clerk (LDC) | BPS-11 | 1 | Matric | 18–30 years + 5 years Balochistan relaxation |
| MT Cleaner | BPS-01 | 1 | Middle pass | 18–30 years + 5 years Balochistan relaxation |
For the two clerk posts, a 3-week basic IT training course (including MS Office) will be conducted by NITB after selection, before the probation period ends — so selected clerks are trained on the job rather than expected to arrive fully trained. The MT Cleaner post is a motor-transport support role: keeping academy vehicles clean and presentable.
Terms Candidates Should Know

Important Dates
| Advertisement published | 30 October 2026 (Dawn) |
| Application window | Within 15 days of publication, via NJP |
| Last date (calculated) | 14 November 2026 |
About the calculated date: the advertisement itself states the window as “within fifteen (15) days of publication” rather than printing a calendar date. Counting 15 days from 30 October gives 14 November 2026, and this post uses that date. Because counting methods can differ by a day, applicants should treat 13 November as the safe date and submit early rather than waiting for the final day.
How to Apply
- Open the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk) and find the Pakistan Marine Academy listing.
- Choose the post that matches your qualification and domicile, and submit the online application within the 15-day window.
- Direct applications are not entertained — only NJP submissions count.
- Keep your documents ready: originals plus one attested set will be needed at the interview stage.
Documents Checklist
- CNIC (valid)
- Balochistan local/domicile certificate
- Educational certificates (Intermediate for UDC, Matric for LDC, Middle pass for MT Cleaner)
- Original documents + one set of attested copies for the interview
Why This Small Round Deserves Attention
Three posts will never make headlines, but for Balochistan candidates at three different education levels — Middle, Matric and Intermediate — this is a rare federal opening in Karachi with a straightforward route: one portal, no application fee mentioned, and a short 15-day window that rewards quick action. The Academy itself is a distinctive workplace — a seafaring training institution rather than a routine office — and the NITB IT training for clerks means the two clerk posts suit candidates who are willing to learn on the job. The main risk is the short window itself: a 15-day count from a 30 October newspaper ad leaves no room for delay, so interested candidates should apply in the first few days, not the last.
Fraud Warning
Never pay anyone for a job. Applications go through the National Job Portal only, and the advertisement mentions no fee. Anyone asking for money for shortlisting or selection is committing fraud — refuse and report it.
