Selection and Important Conditions
Candidates are provisionally allowed to appear in the ETEA screening test on the information provided, with detailed scrutiny carried out by the appointing authority; a candidate found ineligible at any stage is disqualified. Candidates who pass the ETEA test go through further scrutiny against the eligibility criteria. Applications received after the prescribed date, incomplete applications, and applications carrying fake documents or wrong information are rejected at any stage. Test and interview notification is given by SMS, so candidates must keep their mobile number active until the recruitment process is complete. Original documents must be produced on the interview day, and government or semi-government employees must provide an NOC from their institution. Fake or unverified documents lead to disqualification. No TA/DA is admissible. In case of a foreign degree an HEC equivalence certificate must be provided. All of these recruitments are subject to the NOC and approval of the Finance Department, Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Fields Not Stated in the Advertisement
The advertisement does not print the ETEA test fee amount, so no figure is stated here.
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 at a UBL Bank branch or through an EasyPaisa bank agent (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. The online form opened on 2026-10-01 and the last date is 2026-10-30. 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. The test date, time and venue are printed on the roll number slip.

Who Should Check This Update
Graduates, MCS/BCS/BIT holders and stenographers who are permanent residents of District Kohat.
Candidate Guidance
Both Computer Operator seats are reserved - one for women and one on the minority quota - so there is no open merit Computer Operator post. The Senior Scale Stenographer post needs 100 words per minute shorthand, which is the real filter there. Note that every appointment is conditional on the KP Finance Department approving it. Always confirm eligibility, dates, fees and application rules on the official ETEA website before you apply or pay any fee.
