Selection and Important Conditions
All eligible candidates are provisionally allowed to sit the screening test, with detailed scrutiny carried out by the appointing authority.

In case of a foreign degree an equivalence certificate issued by the Higher Education Commission must be provided.
How to Apply
Create a profile on the ETEA website, print the E-Sahulat token and get your CNIC number verified at a NADRA E-Sahulat franchise. Without that verification you cannot apply for any post. Apply online at https://www.etea.edu.pk/, print the generated deposit slip and pay the prescribed non-refundable test fee through Easy paisa, an agent, or at any branch of UBL Bank (the advertisement does not print the fee amount). Keep the bank-stamped candidate copy of the deposit slip and do not share it. Do not send documents or testimonials to the ETEA office at this stage - they are requested later from candidates who qualify the screening test. Roll number slips are downloaded from the ETEA website after an SMS notification, so do not use a ported or converted mobile number, and no separate call letter is issued by post or courier.
