Verification Notes
Transcribed from the individual National Job Portal listing https://www.njp.gov.pk/jobs/9827 on 2026-10-13. The NJP listing is the primary source for this post: it links no separate advertisement PDF. The grade, vacancy count, qualification, experience, age limit, posted date and closing date are read directly from that page. The portal does not publish a job location or quota, so both are recorded as not specified rather than inferred - this page does not assert Islamabad.
