Important Notes
- All three advertisements close on the same date: 11 November 2026. Do not wait for the last day — the portal gets slow near closing dates.
- These posts are Balochistan-quota only; candidates with domicile of any other province are not eligible for this recruitment.
- Pakistan Railways and NJP never charge an application fee for these posts and never ask for money through personal accounts. Anyone demanding payment is a fraud.
- Details above are from the official advertisements dated 27 October 2026. Always confirm from the official advertisement and the NJP listing before applying.
