Junior Scale Stenographer

About This Job

The Auqaf, Religious Affairs, Zakat and Ushr Department, Government of Sindh, has advertised three posts of Junior Scale Stenographer (BPS-14) through the Sindh Job Portal, split one rural and two urban seats. Of these, only the urban allocation carries one open-merit seat; the rural seat and one of the two urban seats are both specifically reserved for female candidates, meaning two of the three vacancies are female-only under this notice. As with the Junior Clerk posts advertised by the same Department, this role supports the Department's administration of religious endowments and zakat/ushr collection, but with a stenographic rather than purely clerical focus, supporting officers directly with dictation, meeting notes and time-sensitive correspondence that a general clerk would not typically handle.

Eligible applicants need a Bachelor's degree with at least a second division or equivalent CGPA from an HEC-recognized university, together with a six-month certificate in Shorthand and English Typing from an institute recognized by the Sindh Board of Technical Education, a demonstrated shorthand speed of 120 words per minute, a typing speed of 35 words per minute on computer, and a separate MS Office certificate from an SBTE-recognized institute. The age bracket is 21 to 28 years, with the standard five-year relaxation applying under Government of Sindh policy, and selection again runs through the IBA Sukkur Testing Services (STS) Graduation Certificate test with a minimum score of 40, and candidates should be ready to demonstrate their shorthand and typing speeds practically rather than simply declaring them on the application form, since these speed thresholds are treated as hard eligibility cut-offs rather than a general guideline the office might relax for an otherwise strong candidate.

Applications are submitted entirely online through the Sindh Job Portal. Interested candidates should register or sign in at sjp.gos.pk, open this specific listing, and click Apply For This Job - SJP charges no application fee, and explicitly states that anyone demanding payment on its behalf has no connection to the portal. Only candidates who clear the STS test will be called forward for interview, with no TA/DA payable, and roll-number slips and scheduling information are communicated purely through the candidate's own SJP account. Female candidates in particular should note that two of the three seats on this listing are reserved specifically for them, ahead of the shared 30 September 2026 closing date that also applies to the Accountant and Junior Clerk posts advertised by the same Department in this same recruitment round.
