Pakistan Railways has approved 829 vacancies from Grade 1 to Grade 16 under the Balochistan quota. Of those roles, 805 are assigned to the Quetta Division and 24 to the department’s headquarters. Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi has told officials to keep the hiring merit-based and transparent.
How the posts are shared
The drive is meant to fill vacant Grade 1–16 posts reserved under the Balochistan quota. Most openings sit in Quetta Division operations, with a smaller block at headquarters. The approved plan sets aside a 10% share for women and a 5% share for minorities. For some designated appointments, the plan also allows exemptions from written and screening tests.
How to apply and key dates
Applications are being taken through the National Jobs Portal. The deadline to apply is 11 November 2026. Candidates must upload or submit educational certificates, national identity cards, domicile certificates, character certificates, and passport-size photographs.
Abbasi said recruitment under the Balochistan quota would be finished before 30 November 2026. Pakistan Railways has stressed that the process should stay on that timetable without weakening transparency standards.
What applicants should prepare
Anyone seeking these Pakistan Railways posts will need a valid domicile along with identity and character documents, plus proof of education matching the grade applied for. The portal is the single channel named for applications, so late or incomplete files risk missing the cut-off. Designated roles with test exemptions remain part of the plan, but the minister’s instruction still puts merit and open process first for the overall drive.
