Overview
The Office of the Deputy Commissioner Abbottabad is recruiting 4 Patwari posts in BPS-09 on a regular basis through ETEA project 841. Online applications are invited from qualified Patwar Pass candidates holding a District Abbottabad domicile, and both male and female candidates are eligible.
Important Dates
The online application form became available on 2026-09-10. The ETEA live project directory shows the last date as 2026-10-30. Note that the printed advertisement states the last date for submission of the online application as 30 September 2026 - confirm the operative deadline on the ETEA portal before you rely on either date. Advertisement reference INF(AD) 138.
Posts, Vacancies and Quota
The advertisement carries a single cadre of 4 posts, open to both male and female candidates on a regular basis.
| Post | Vacancies | Age | Qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patwari (BPS-09) | 04 (male / female) | 18-35 | At least FA / F.Sc or its equivalent qualification from a recognised Board; Patwar Pass Exam or Certificate; and the candidate's name must be registered in the Patwar Pass Candidate Register maintained in the office of the Deputy Commissioner, Abbottabad (DK Office). |
Eligibility
Only candidates whose name is already registered in the Patwar Pass Candidate Register maintained at the office of the Deputy Commissioner Abbottabad are eligible, in addition to the FA/F.Sc requirement and the Patwar Pass Exam or Certificate. Relaxation of age is admissible as per existing government rules.
City / Domicile Applicability
District Abbottabad domicile only.
Selection and Important Conditions
Candidates are provisionally allowed to appear in the ETEA screening test on the credentials provided, with detailed scrutiny carried out by the appointing authority. Candidates qualifying the ETEA test are subsequently screened for relevance against the eligibility criteria, and interview call letters are issued to shortlisted candidates only. Candidates working in government or semi-government bodies should apply through the proper channel, and a candidate applying for more than one post must apply separately for each post with a separate fee. No TA/DA is admissible. In case of a foreign degree, equivalent certificates from HEC 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 the Easypaisa app or 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.

Who Should Check This Update
District Abbottabad domicile holders who have already passed the Patwar examination and whose name appears in the Deputy Commissioner's Patwar Pass Candidate Register.
Candidate Guidance
The two published deadlines do not agree: the newspaper advertisement says 30 September 2026 while the ETEA live project directory says 30 October 2026. Treat 30 September as the safe date, confirm on the ETEA portal, and do not leave the application to the last week. Registration in the Patwar Pass Candidate Register is a hard requirement, not a preference. Always confirm eligibility, dates, fees and application rules on the official ETEA website before you apply or pay any fee.
Verification Notes
Transcribed from the official ETEA advertisement image for project 841 on 2026-09-21. The advertisement prints the last date as 30 September 2026 while the live ETEA project directory shows 30 October 2026 for the same project. The later directory date is used for the record because the directory drives the application portal, and both dates are stated on the page so candidates can confirm before relying on either. This discrepancy remains in the verification queue.
