Last date to apply: 13 November 2026 — this date is counted as 15 days from the 29 October 2026 advertisement, because the advertisement gives a 15-day window rather than a printed calendar date. Confirm the exact closing day on the NJP listing or at your District Employment Cell before the window ends.
What Is the TDAP Balochistan Quota Round?
The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan is the federal body that promotes the country’s exports, and it works under the administrative control of the Ministry of Commerce. In this round it is filling five posts reserved for candidates who hold a Balochistan Local or Domicile Certificate. Recruitment is arranged at district level across Balochistan, with support from newly set up District Employment Cells. Karachi appears only as TDAP’s correspondence address in the advertisement; it is not the posting station for these posts. Only Balochistan domicile holders can apply, so candidates from other provinces are not eligible for this particular round.
TDAP Balochistan Quota Posts — Vacancy Breakdown
| Post | Scale | Posts |
|---|---|---|
| Superintendent | TPS-04 (equal to BPS-16) | 1 |
| Upper Division Clerk (UDC) | As per TDAP scale in the ad | 2 |
| Lower Division Clerk (LDC) | As per TDAP scale in the ad | 1 |
| Staff Car Driver | As per TDAP scale in the ad | 1 |
| Total | 5 |
The Superintendent post is the senior post of the round, carrying a TPS-04 scale equal to BPS-16. The two UDC posts form the largest group. The LDC and Staff Car Driver posts complete the set of five. Together they cover office supervision, clerical work and driving duties — the everyday running of a public office.
Eligibility Criteria — Who Can Apply
The one condition that decides eligibility is domicile: the applicant must hold a valid Balochistan Local or Domicile Certificate. The published summaries of this advertisement do not print a salary figure, an application fee, an experience requirement, or per-post education details, and this article does not invent them. Candidates should read the full advertisement and the NJP listing for the qualification, age limit and typing or driving-test requirements of their post before applying. As a general guide, superintendent and clerk posts in federal offices normally require graduation or intermediate education with computer and typing skills, and a driver post normally requires a valid driving licence with knowledge of traffic rules — but the TDAP advertisement itself is the final authority for this round, not general practice.

Why Apply — Benefits of a TDAP Post
A regular federal post with TDAP offers the stability of government service: a fixed pay scale, annual increments, medical facilities and leave under federal rules. For Balochistan domicile holders, a reserved-quota round like this one is also a fairer contest, because applicants compete only within the quota rather than against the whole country. The Superintendent post, at a BPS-16 equivalent scale, is a genuine officer-level opening, while the clerk and driver posts give steady office careers with promotion prospects over time.
