How to Apply
- Go to nts.org.pk and apply online for this advert.
- Pay the prescribed fee and keep the deposit slip.
- Send the filled online form, the fee slip, a CNIC copy, passport photos and your education and experience documents to NTS by courier, at the address on the form.
- Watch the NTS site for roll number slips and test dates.
- Bring original documents and attested copies if you are shortlisted.
The advert does not give the fee amount, which means you must read it on the NTS form. The NTS requirement for photographs is also unclear. One part asks for four passport photos and another asks for two.
What Is the Last Date?
- NTS list, via Pakera (published 5 November): 15 November 2026.
- The advert (IPB-745): 15 working days after publication. If the advert was published on 28 October, that works out to about 18 November. The advert also says “15 days” in one place.
- The hospital’s file name: It says “28-9-26,” which looks like a typing slip for 28 October.
Treat 15 November as the safe date, since that is the earliest. Confirm on the NTS website and apply early.
Beware of Fake Fees
- Pay the fee only against NTS’s own deposit slip, and only to NTS.
- Do not pay anyone for a seat or a roll number slip.
- Do not give your CNIC or OTP to an agent.
Other Posts at the Same Hospital
The hospital’s careers page also lists advert IPB-744, an assistant on a lump-sum pay package, dated 29 October 2026. The PDF could not be read, so I did not include it. It also lists many older adverts for doctors and teaching staff.
What I Could Not Confirm
- The closing date. The sources differ by about three days.
- The fee amount, the qualifications and age limits for five of the technician posts, and the salary.
- That the posts are still open. I did not open the NTS portal.
- The details of advert IPB-744.
This is general information, not an official notice.
