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 Computer Based Test are subsequently screened for relevance against the eligibility criteria. Appointment is purely on contract initially for one year, further extendable as per the prevalent government policy at that time. The posts are project posts and stand abolished automatically on completion of the project, and the pay package is offered as per the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Project Implementation Policy.

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 Easy Paisa 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.

Forestry, environmental sciences, biotechnology and genetics graduates holding a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa domicile who are willing to take a one-year project contract.

These are project posts, not regular government posts - they are abolished when the project ends, and the pay follows the Project Implementation Policy rather than a normal BPS scale progression. Screening is a computer based test, which is different from most other ETEA projects in this batch. Always confirm eligibility, dates, fees and application rules on the official ETEA website before you apply or pay any fee.
