One Unskilled Manual line was illegible in the scanned advert, so I did not list it. Read the full advert for your post’s quota.
How to Apply
- Fill in the prescribed form printed in the advert. Use a separate form for each post.
- Attach attested copies of your educational and experience certificates (including technical ones), domicile or PRC, CNIC, NADRA Family Registration Certificate and one recent passport-size photograph.
- Pay the fee if it applies, as described below.
- Send everything to: Chief Inspector, Inspectorate of Army Stores & Clothing (IAS&C), COD Estate, Rashid Minhas Road, Karachi-15.
- Make sure it reaches the office by the last date. Use courier or registered post, and keep the receipt.
Fee
Rs300 for BPS-05 and above, as a postal order or bank draft in favour of IAS&C Karachi. Posts in BPS-01 to BPS-04 carry no fee, according to JobsRozi. Do not send cash, and do not pay anyone else.
Test and Interview
- Shortlisted candidates are told by SMS. Bring your original CNIC and documents.
- No TA or DA is paid.
- Mobile phones and electronic gadgets are not allowed at test centres.
- Government employees must apply through proper channels and bring a no-objection certificate.
Beware of Fake Fees and Agents
- Send your fee only as a postal order or bank draft in the name given in the advert.
- Do not pay anyone for a seat, a test or a “job guarantee.”
- Do not give your CNIC or originals to an agent.
What I Could Not Confirm
- I could not read the advert itself. Everything comes from one third-party site, JobsRozi, and I could not find a second source. Please check the original advert before you apply.
- The last date. JobsRozi says it is calculated from “within 20 days of publication,” not printed. It also notes that another page says 30 November, which does not fit that window. I use 28 November as the safer date.
- The salary. JobsRozi’s own figure of Rs30,000 to Rs50,000 is an estimate, so I left it out.
- The illegible quota line.
- That this is not an older advert. IAS&C has advertised in earlier years with different posts. JobsRozi dates this one to 8 November 2026.
JobsRozi also warns not to confuse this with Pakistan Navy civilian jobs 2026, which also list 69 posts. This is general information, not an official notice.
