The Office of the Chief Engineer, Sukkur Barrage Left Bank Region, Sukkur, has announced 11 new Junior Clerk vacancies in BPS-11 in the Irrigation Department of the Government of Sindh. The advertisement appeared in the Daily Dawn on 28 October 2026, and the last date to apply is 12 November 2026, fifteen days from the date of publication. Applications are submitted online through the Sindh Job Portal.

The posts are open only to candidates holding the domicile of one of ten named districts: Sukkur, Khairpur, Nausheroferoz, Shaheed Benazirabad, Matiari, Sanghar, Hyderabad, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan and Badin. The academic bar is graduation at least in second division from a recognized university, together with a six-month certificate course in MS Office from a recognized technical board. There is one further condition that decides eligibility before anything else: applicants must have passed the general screening test of the Graduation Category conducted by IBA Sukkur testing services (STS) with at least 40 percent marks, and must hold the valid certificate. The age limit is 18 to 28 years, with five years of upper-age relaxation admissible under government policy rules. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement.

About Office of the Chief Engineer, Sukkur Barrage Left Bank Region, Sukkur — Irrigation Department, Government of Sindh

The Sukkur Barrage is the largest barrage on the Indus in Sindh and the hub of the province's left-bank canal system. Built in the 1930s, it feeds a network of canals that water millions of acres on the left bank of the river, and running that network takes a large field and office organisation. The Chief Engineer, Sukkur Barrage Left Bank Region, heads the regional office that administers the left-bank canals, their headworks, regulators and divisional offices, and the staff who keep the system operating through every cropping season.

The Irrigation Department of the Government of Sindh is the province's canal department. It owns and operates the barrages, main canals, distributaries and drainage channels, and it is organised into regions, circles and divisions, each headed by engineers and supported by clerical, technical and field staff. Junior Clerks are the backbone of that office work: they handle correspondence, files, registers, records and the paperwork that follows every repair, water distribution order and establishment matter. A Junior Clerk post in BPS-11 in this office is therefore a regular provincial government clerical post, not a project or contract engagement, and it is based at the regional office in Sukkur, the city where the barrage itself stands.

Vacant Positions — Post-Wise Details

There is a single post in this advertisement, with 11 seats. The table below gives the post exactly as advertised, and the note explains what the post involves in a barrage regional office and which condition applicants most often overlook.

• Junior Clerk: Clerical staff for the regional office: correspondence, files, registers and records. Applicants must also hold the IBA Sukkur (STS) Graduation Category screening-test pass certificate with at least 40% marks.

Eligibility Criteria — Who Can Apply

• Domicile of one of the ten eligible districts: Sukkur, Khairpur, Nausheroferoz, Shaheed Benazirabad, Matiari, Sanghar, Hyderabad, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan or Badin.
• Graduation at least in second division from a recognized university.
• A six-month certificate course in MS Office from a recognized technical board.
• A pass in the IBA Sukkur testing services (STS) general screening test, Graduation Category, with at least 40 percent marks, with a valid certificate.
• Age between 18 and 28 years on the closing date, with five years of upper-age relaxation admissible under government policy rules.
• Reserved quotas observed as per Sindh Government rules.
• Government servants must apply through the proper channel and obtain a no objection certificate from their parent department.
• Original documents and the original NOC must be available for presentation at the interview stage.

Eligibility for these 11 posts turns on four conditions, and an applicant who misses any one of them should not apply. The first is domicile. Only the ten districts named in the advertisement are eligible: Sukkur, Khairpur, Nausheroferoz, Shaheed Benazirabad, Matiari, Sanghar, Hyderabad, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan and Badin. A candidate domiciled anywhere else in Sindh, or in another province, does not qualify for this notice, however strong the rest of the application may be. The second condition is education: graduation at least in second division from a recognized university, plus a six-month MS Office certificate from a recognized technical board. A degree below second division, or a degree without the MS Office certificate, does not meet the advertisement as reported.

The third condition is the one applicants most often miss, and it is stated plainly in the advertisement: the candidate must have passed the general screening test of the Graduation Category conducted by IBA Sukkur testing services (STS) with at least 40 percent marks, and must possess the valid certificate. This is a screening-test pass requirement, not a preference, and the certificate is part of the application. The fourth condition is age: 18 to 28 years, with five years of upper-age relaxation admissible under government policy rules. Reserved quotas are observed as per Sindh Government rules. One point of care: the same office advertised a different set of posts a day earlier, on 27 October 2026, comprising 12 Junior Clerk and 3 Stenographer posts with a closing date of 11 November 2026. That is a separate advertisement from this one, and applicants must be careful to apply under the notice whose deadline and post mix match their own case, rather than mixing the two notices up.

Salary & Benefits

The advertisement prints no monthly salary figure, so this article gives no rupee amount and no estimate. What is certain is the grade: Junior Clerk in BPS-11 of the provincial government pay structure. In the Sindh Government's pay system, a BPS-11 post carries the basic pay scale of that grade together with the allowances the provincial government notifies for the grade and station, and pay rises with the annual increments and revisions that apply to the scale. Because the advertisement does not print a figure, any website or social media post quoting an exact monthly salary for these 11 posts is adding information the advertisement does not contain, and applicants should treat such figures as unverified. The honest comparison is with other BPS-11 clerical posts in the Sindh Government, which carry the same scale and allowance structure, so the post should be judged on the security of regular provincial service and the Sukkur posting rather than on a promised figure. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement, and no one should pay any person for a promise of selection.

Selection Process

Selection follows the route the advertisement lays down. Applications are submitted online through the Sindh Job Portal, where the applicant uploads the particulars and documents the portal asks for, including the IBA Sukkur (STS) Graduation Category screening-test pass certificate. That certificate is a threshold condition: without a 40 percent pass, the application does not clear the eligibility screen. Shortlisting, if any, and the interview follow the department's procedure for such posts, and candidates already in government service must present the original no objection certificate from their parent department, together with original documents, at the interview stage. No TA or DA is admissible for appearing for the interview. No test date, interview schedule or merit-list date is stated in the advertisement as reported, so applicants should not act on any such date unless the department or the portal notifies it, and should keep watching the Sindh Job Portal and their registered contact details after applying.

Documents Required

• Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC).
• Domicile certificate of one of the ten eligible districts.
• Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC), where the portal asks for it.
• Graduation degree from a recognized university (at least second division).
• Six-month MS Office certificate from a recognized technical board.
• IBA Sukkur (STS) Graduation Category screening-test pass certificate with at least 40 percent marks.
• Recent passport-size photographs.
• Attested copies of educational certificates and other credentials.
• No objection certificate from the parent department, for government servants (original required at interview).
• Original documents for verification at the interview stage.
• Sindh Job Portal application printout or acknowledgement, after submission.
• Any quota or category certificate claimed, where applicable under Sindh Government rules.

Terms & Conditions

The advertisement carries the standard conditions of a Sindh Government recruitment. Only candidates holding the domicile of the ten named districts are eligible, and reserved quotas are observed as per Sindh Government rules. The upper-age relaxation of five years is admissible under government policy rules. No TA or DA is admissible for appearing for the interview. Documents submitted must be genuine and must match the candidate's CNIC and domicile, because verification follows the application and a false or mismatched document can lead to disqualification. The department reserves the right to manage the recruitment process as the rules allow. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement, so no fee should be paid to any person, and no one should pay for a promise of selection.
