The online application form became available on 2026-09-15. The last date for submission of the online application is 2026-10-05. Advertisement reference INF(AD) 144.

The advertisement carries two cadres totalling 4 posts. The physical standards and the domicile restriction are printed against the Forest Guard post only; no physical standard or domicile row is printed for the Driver post.

For the Forest Guard posts the advertisement restricts eligibility to those areas of District Mansehra and District Abbottabad that fall within the territorial limits of the Kunhar Watershed. A Police Clearance Certificate is required. Age relaxation is given in accordance with existing rules.

Forest Guard: those areas of District Mansehra and District Abbottabad that fall within the territorial limits of the Kunhar Watershed. The advertisement prints no domicile row against the Driver post, so confirm that condition from the official advertisement.

All eligible candidates are provisionally allowed to sit the screening test, with detailed scrutiny carried out by the appointing authority. Interview notification is given by SMS, so candidates must keep their mobile number active until the recruitment process is complete. A Police Clearance Certificate is required. No TA/DA is admissible for the test or interview. In case of a foreign degree an equivalence certificate issued by the Higher Education Commission must be provided.

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.

Always confirm eligibility, dates, fees and application rules on the official ETEA website before you apply or pay any fee.
