The Communication & Works Department, Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Peshawar, has announced a fresh round of hiring reserved exclusively for eligible Minority candidates of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. If you've been waiting for a government post that's realistically within reach, this is one to look at closely — four regular BPS positions are open, from clerical and stenography roles to technical drafting and tracing posts, all processed through ETEA's standard online testing system.
Here's the complete breakdown of eligibility, quota details, pay scales, and the exact application procedure so you don't miss a single step.
About This Recruitment Drive
This is a Minority Quota-specific recruitment, meaning only candidates belonging to the recognized minority communities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are eligible to apply. Per the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's circulation letter (No. SO(POLICY)/E&AD/1-11/2024-25/5% Minority Quota, dated 15.10.2025), no separate concurrence or approval is required for filling these minority-designated posts, which is part of why this hiring round has moved forward as a standalone announcement.
Selection will run entirely through ETEA (Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency) — candidates will be provisionally allowed to sit the ETEA screening test based on their submitted credentials, though final eligibility is still subject to detailed scrutiny by the appointing authority at any stage.
Available Positions and Eligibility Criteria

All 16 posts fall under the Minority Quota, and all are regular Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa positions.
Terms & Conditions Worth Reading Before You Apply
- Being allowed to sit the ETEA test doesn't guarantee eligibility — detailed scrutiny happens afterward, and any candidate found ineligible at any stage will be disqualified by the appointing authority, regardless of how far along they are in the process.
- Every candidate must create a profile on ETEA's website. Before applying or depositing any fee, you'll need to generate an E-Sahulat token using your CNIC, verified through any NADRA E-Sahulat franchise or kiosk. Applications can't proceed without this verification.
- Only candidates who clear the ETEA test move on to eligibility screening against the criteria above.
- Interview call letters go out to shortlisted candidates only — there's no separate call letter for the initial screening test itself.
- You must meet all eligibility requirements by the closing date of the application; nothing is entertained after the deadline, and incomplete applications or those submitted with fake documents or information will be rejected at any stage.
- Age relaxation applies as per existing government rules.
- If you're already employed in a Government or Semi-Government organization, you're required to apply through the proper departmental channel.
- Applying for more than one post means submitting a separate application and a separate fee for each one.
- No TA/DA is admissible for the test or interview.
- Foreign degree holders must attach HEC equivalence certificates.
- The competent authority reserves the right to adjust the number of vacancies, and any errors or omissions in the post count are subject to correction.
How to Apply Online Through ETEA
The entire process runs through ETEA's official portal — here's the step-by-step:
- Visit www.etea.edu.pk and apply online for your chosen post.
- Once you've submitted your application, a prescribed online deposit slip will be generated, carrying your token number, project code, and personal details.
- Print this deposit slip and pay the prescribed, non-refundable test fee through the Easypaisa app, an Easypaisa agent, or any branch of UBL Bank.
- After paying, keep your original deposit slip (candidate copy) with the bank's stamp safely — do not share it with anyone.
- Don't send testimonials or documents to the ETEA office after applying online. You'll only need to provide copies of your testimonials and documents later, if and when you qualify the screening test and the appointing authority requests them for scrutiny.
