Eligibility
Medical Assistant
- Matriculation, along with a relevant medical, nursing, or medical sub-trade diploma
- The advertisement also gives a separate route for qualified former service personnel
- Some guides say Matric with Science is required, so check the advertisement for the exact wording
Driver
- A valid driving licence. Guides mention a heavy transport vehicle (HTV) licence, so check which licence the advertisement asks for.
- Basic ability to read and write, according to guides
Cook
- Education and skills as listed in the advertisement. Guides mention middle-level education and cooking skills, and say experience is an advantage.
Guides differ on small details such as education and experience for Driver and Cook, because several earlier PAF civilian advertisements also circulate online. Rely on the November 2026 advertisement on the official PAF website.

Another PAF Recruitment: Medical Branch
PAF also advertised a separate recruitment for its Medical Branch, the 138 Combat Support Course for specialist doctors and dental officers. One guide gives its last date as November 23, 2026. This is a different advertisement from the civilian posts, so read it separately if it applies to you.
Tips to Get Ready
- Do not wait for the last day. Websites slow down when many people apply.
- Check your age against March 27, 2027, not today’s date.
- Choose the right quota for your domicile. Wrong quota choices can cause rejection.
- Prepare for the written and practical tests. Medical Assistants can revise basic nursing and first aid. Drivers can practise safe driving and road signs.
- Stay physically fit. Selection for defence jobs usually includes a medical check.
