According to the official recruitment details reported by Associated Press of Pakistan, the vacancies are being offered under provincial, regional, gender and minority quotas to provide nationwide representation.

The total comes to 351 vacancies across seven categories.

For the Constable BS-05 position, applicants generally require at least a second-division Matric qualification from a recognised board.
Constable Driver applicants also require Matric-level education along with relevant driving licences and the ability to operate and maintain vehicles.
Candidates applying for Assistant Sub-Inspector BS-09 positions require a second-class or Grade C bachelor’s degree, BA, BS or post-Intermediate Associate Degree from an HEC-recognised institution.
The Sub-Inspector BS-14 positions are particularly focused on candidates with technology-related qualifications.

Technical Assistant candidates also require relevant computing or technical education, along with prescribed experience requirements.
For Stenotypist BS-14, applicants need Intermediate-level education along with shorthand, typing and computer skills. Reported requirements include shorthand speed of 80 words per minute and typing speed of 40 words per minute.
Upper Division Clerk applicants require Intermediate-level education and may be required to complete the prescribed government IT training after appointment.
Candidates should carefully check the detailed qualification requirements for their selected post before submitting an application.
Age Limit and Physical Test Requirements
The advertised age range for the positions is 18 to 25 years.
APP reported that the normal five-year general age relaxation available under federal government rules will also apply where applicable.
Applicants for operational law-enforcement positions will face additional physical requirements.
Candidates applying for Constable, Constable Driver, Assistant Sub-Inspector and Sub-Inspector posts must meet prescribed physical measurements and qualify in an endurance test.
Male applicants must complete a 1.6-kilometre run within seven minutes.
Female candidates must cover the same 1.6km distance within 10 minutes.
The physical test will form part of the recruitment process before candidates advance to later assessment stages.
According to the official reporting, selected applicants for uniformed positions will undergo physical endurance and measurement screening before computer-based testing and other evaluations.
Rs2,000 Application Fee for Each Post
Candidates must submit their applications online through the NPF Testing and Assessment Service recruitment portal.
The application fee has been set at Rs2,000 for each post.
Candidates who want to compete for more than one position cannot use a single application.
They must submit a separate online application and pay a separate Rs2,000 fee for every post they select.
Applicants can generate the required payment details through the online system before paying the fee.
Reported payment options include banking channels and mobile payment services supported by the recruitment portal.
Candidates are advised to keep their payment confirmation and application details after completing the process.
The recruitment process is online, and applicants should rely on the official NPF-TAS recruitment portal for application submission and subsequent information regarding roll-number slips, physical tests and other stages.
NCCIA Expands Workforce to Fight Growing Cybercrime
The recruitment drive comes as NCCIA expands its operations across Pakistan in response to growing cases of online financial fraud, harassment, identity theft, data breaches and other cyber offences.
NCCIA operates under the Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control and is responsible for investigating cybercrime and handling digital forensic evidence.
The agency currently maintains regional offices across Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other parts of the country. Its official website lists centres in cities including Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Multan, Karachi, Hyderabad, Peshawar and Abbottabad.
According to APP, the latest recruitment is intended to strengthen NCCIA’s operational and forensic capabilities as digital crimes become more sophisticated.
The availability of investigation and technology-focused positions also reflects the specialised nature of cybercrime enforcement, where conventional policing increasingly needs to be combined with expertise in software, networks, digital evidence and data analysis.
September 7 Is the Last Date to Apply
Eligible Pakistani candidates have until September 7, 2026, to submit their applications.
Applicants should review the post-specific education, domicile, quota, physical and technical requirements before paying the application fee because eligibility differs between positions.
Those seeking multiple posts should also remember that each application must be submitted and paid for separately.
With 351 vacancies ranging from BS-05 to BS-14, the recruitment drive offers opportunities for Matric, Intermediate and graduate-level candidates, including those with specialised backgrounds in cybersecurity and information technology.
