Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) — Quetta and all Balochistan (zonal seats)

By Muhammad Younus, Editor Posted: 02 Nov 2026 Updated: 03 Nov 2026 12 min read

Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) Jobs 2026 have reopened with 108 posts, and the last date to apply is 17 November 2026. The Balochistan Public Service Commission has extended the closing date for two posts from its Consolidated Advertisement No. 07/2026: 105 posts of Agriculture Officer or Research Officer (B-17) in the Agriculture Extension Wing and 3 posts of Assistant Engineer (B-17) in the Planning and Development Department. The reopening comes through an addendum signed on 2 November 2026, and candidates who already applied before the original deadline of 14 October 2026 do not need to apply again. Applications are accepted online only through the BPSC portal at bpsc.gob.pk, with a fee of Rs 800 paid through a PSID on any 1Link channel. Every other post in Advertisement No. 07/2026 stays closed, so this second chance covers only these two posts. Candidates holding a Balochistan domicile should check their zone, qualification and age against the advertisement before the new deadline, because BPSC applies its eligibility rules strictly and does not accept hard-copy applications for these posts.

About Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC)

The Balochistan Public Service Commission is the constitutional body that recruits officers for the Government of Balochistan in grades BPS-16 and above. It was established to run recruitment on merit, free from departmental influence: it advertises posts, holds written examinations, interviews shortlisted candidates and recommends names to the provincial government for appointment. Its examinations cover a wide range of provincial services, from agriculture and engineering to education, health, population welfare and the provincial management service. BPSC examinations are currently held in Quetta, and the commission publishes its advertisements, syllabi, examination schedules and results on its official website, bpsc.gob.pk. Candidates apply through an online profile on that portal, where they upload their degrees and detailed marks certificates and generate a PSID challan for the application fee. The commission is known for strict rules on domicile and age: the local or domicile certificate a candidate applies on is treated as final, and age is counted on the closing date of the advertisement. These rules matter for this reopening, because the addendum changes the closing date, and candidates near the age limit should confirm which date the commission counts before they submit.

Vacant Positions — Post-Wise Details

Only two posts from Advertisement No. 07/2026 have reopened, and together they carry 108 seats. The Agriculture Officer posts dominate the reopening and are spread across all of Balochistan's zones, while the three Assistant Engineer posts are split between merit and Kalat zone. The table below gives each post with its scale, seats and qualification as printed in the advertisement.

• Agriculture Officer / Research Officer: Posted in the Agriculture Extension Wing of the Agriculture and Cooperatives Department, these officers carry agricultural knowledge to farmers: crop advice, extension fieldwork, trials and departmental reporting across their zone.
• Assistant Engineer: Posted in the Divisional Directorates Development (field offices) of the Planning and Development Department, these engineers work on development schemes, estimates, site supervision and progress reporting in the divisions.

Eligibility Criteria — Who Can Apply

• Balochistan local/domicile certificate: the zone you apply against must match your own domicile certificate, and the domicile you apply on is final
• Agriculture Officer / Research Officer (B-17): Master's degree in Agriculture, or Bachelor's (Hons) in Agriculture, both at least second division
• Assistant Engineer (B-17): second class B.Arch or BE (Civil) degree, with registration with the Pakistan Council of Architects and Town Planners (PCATP) or the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC)
• Age: upper age 28 years for both posts; for Assistant Engineer the range is 21 to 28 years, counted on the closing date
• General age relaxation of the Government of Balochistan applies on top of the upper age limit, as notified; government servants with two years of continuous regular service receive relaxation up to 50 years of age
• Both posts are open to men and women; reserved seats within the 105 Agriculture Officer posts cover women, disabled candidates and minorities
• Degrees must be from recognised institutions; candidates should keep their detailed marks certificates ready for upload on the BPSC portal
• Candidates who already applied for these two posts before 14 October 2026 need not apply again under the addendum

Domicile is the first and strictest condition in this recruitment. Balochistan's zonal system divides the 105 Agriculture Officer seats by zone: Merit (all Balochistan) and Kalat zone have 17 seats each, Mekran has 12, Zhob, Nasirabad and Quetta zone have 11 each, and Sibi and Quetta City have 5 each. A further 16 seats are reserved: 5 for disabled candidates, 5 for women and 6 for minorities. Your zone comes from your own local or domicile certificate, and a married woman not in government service may apply on her husband's domicile if it carries her name. Apply against the zone printed on your certificate, because BPSC has stated that the domicile applied on is final and cannot be changed after the closing date. The three Assistant Engineer seats split as 2 on all-Balochistan merit and 1 for Kalat zone, so candidates outside Kalat compete for only two seats. On qualifications, the Agriculture Officer post accepts two routes: a Master's degree in Agriculture, or a Bachelor's (Hons) in Agriculture, in each case at least second division. The Assistant Engineer post requires a second class B.Arch or BE (Civil) degree plus registration with PCATP or PEC, so an unregistered engineering graduate should complete registration before relying on eligibility. Age needs care in this reopening. The advertisement fixes the upper age at 28 for both posts, with 21 to 28 for Assistant Engineer, and the Government of Balochistan's general age relaxation applies on top. One point is genuinely unclear in the published material: the addendum does not say whether age is now counted on the new closing date of 17 November 2026 or still on the original date of 14 October 2026, so candidates within a few weeks of the limit should check both dates against their Matric certificate and, if in doubt, confirm from BPSC before submitting. BPSC's own rule is unforgiving: even a single day over the limit makes a candidate ineligible, so do not guess your age from memory.

Salary & Benefits

The advertisement does not print a monthly salary figure for either post, so no rupee amount is quoted here. Both posts are in grade B-17 of the Balochistan government pay structure. In that structure, monthly pay is built from the basic pay of the grade, which rises through annual increments and government pay revisions, plus the allowances admissible under the provincial rules, such as house rent, conveyance and medical allowances. Officers in B-17 also receive the usual provincial government facilities attached to their service, and their pay increases with promotion to higher grades and with length of service. Because the exact take-home amount depends on the pay revision in force at appointment and on the allowances admissible to the officer's place of posting, any specific salary figure circulating on social media should be treated as unverified. What is certain is that these are regular provincial government posts in B-17, not daily-wage or project appointments, and the appointment carries the pension and service benefits of regular provincial service under the applicable rules.

Selection Process

Selection follows the commission's standard route. After the closing date, BPSC screens the online applications against the advertised qualifications, domicile and age conditions, and applications that fail any condition are rejected at scrutiny. Eligible candidates are then called for a written examination consisting of multiple-choice questions in the relevant subject: agriculture for the Agriculture Officer post and civil engineering or architecture for the Assistant Engineer post. BPSC currently holds all its examinations in Quetta, so candidates should choose Quetta as their test city when they apply. Candidates who qualify in the written test are called for interview, and the final merit list is drawn up from the combined performance under the commission's rules, with zonal and quota seats filled from the merit of each zone and quota. As general preparation guidance, agriculture candidates should revise crop production, soil science, plant protection, horticulture and agricultural extension, while engineering candidates should revise their core civil subjects, estimation and relevant codes. On examination day, carry your original CNIC and the downloaded admission certificate, and keep the paid fee receipt safe, because the centre checks these documents before admitting candidates.

Documents Required

• Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) — original and copy
• Balochistan local/domicile certificate matching the zone applied for
• Master's or Bachelor's (Hons) degree in Agriculture with detailed marks certificates (Agriculture Officer candidates)
• B.Arch or BE (Civil) degree with detailed marks certificates (Assistant Engineer candidates)
• Valid PCATP or PEC registration card or certificate (Assistant Engineer candidates)
• Matriculation certificate for date-of-birth and age verification
• Recent passport-size photographs as required by the online profile
• Paid PSID fee receipt for Rs 800
• Disability certificate, if applying against the disabled quota
• Minority or women-quota supporting documents, where applicable
• Government service certificate, if claiming the government-servant age relaxation
• Downloaded admission certificate and original CNIC on examination day

Terms & Conditions

As is standard in commission advertisements, the commission reserves the right to accept or reject any application and to increase, decrease or cancel any vacancy without assigning a reason. Applications found incomplete, or containing incorrect information about qualification, domicile or age, are liable to be rejected at any stage, and concealment of facts can lead to cancellation even after appointment. Only candidates who meet the prescribed qualifications and domicile conditions are considered, and only shortlisted candidates are informed about the written test and interview. Government servants should apply with the knowledge of their department and produce any required departmental permission at the stage the commission asks for it. Quotas for women, disabled candidates and minorities are observed under the Government of Balochistan's recruitment policy. No travel or daily allowance is admissible for appearing in the examination or interview unless the commission's notice states otherwise, and the commission's decision in all matters of this recruitment is final.
