Vacancy numbers and the closing date should be confirmed from the official advertisement, as these figures are currently reported and not officially verified. Recruitment drives of this scale sometimes revise post counts, so checking the official notice protects applicants from acting on outdated information.
Posts With the Highest Number of Vacancies
Among the eleven categories, the three with the most vacancies are:
- Vaccination Team Support Worker (PPS-3): 213 posts — Matric or Intermediate
- Office or Field Support Staff (PPS-2): 190 posts — Middle or Matric
- Field Monitoring Assistant (PPS-4): 144 posts — Intermediate or Bachelor’s

- Data Management Officer (PPS-6): 2 posts — BS or Master’s in Computer Science, IT, or Statistics

Candidates should not select a post based on vacancy count alone. Choosing the position that matches your education, domicile, and age improves the chances of shortlisting. Field positions, in particular, require willingness to travel within assigned districts during campaign periods.
Region-Wise Quota Distribution
- Punjab: 50%
- Sindh: 19%
- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: 11.5%
- Balochistan: 6%
- Gilgit-Baltistan: 4%
- Azad Jammu and Kashmir: 2%
- Open merit: 7.5%
Applicants should check the quota and domicile requirements for their selected post, as quotas do not apply equally to every position. Domicile of the relevant district or province is generally mandatory, and mismatched domicile details are a common reason for rejection.

Beware of Frauds — Must Read
One aggregator website has claimed an application fee of Rs 800 payable to an HBL account. This claim is not verified. Applicants must confirm any fee requirement only from the official advertisement or the official website.
- Never pay money to any unofficial person or agent who promises selection
- Do not share your passwords or verification codes with unverified individuals
- Upload sensitive documents only through officially confirmed recruitment channels
- Project-based posts are not permanent government jobs — check the terms in your appointment letter
Fraudulent actors frequently target high-volume recruitments. If anyone contacts you demanding payment for guaranteed selection, treat it as a scam and report it to the relevant authorities.
