Junior Scale Stenographer

About This Job

The Office of the Commissioner, Malakand Division, at Saidu Sharif, Swat, has advertised one post of Junior Scale Stenographer (BPS-14), to be filled through an ETEA-administered screening test alongside the two Computer Operator posts carried in the same advertisement, number INF(P)4679/26. The successful candidate will take shorthand dictation, prepare typed correspondence and official notes, and provide general stenographic support to officers in the Commissioner's office, a role that combines fast, accurate shorthand work with day-to-day computer literacy across the office's various administrative wings. The post sits within the same recruitment drive as the Computer Operator vacancies, meaning both sets of posts share the same closing date, the same testing agency, and the same underlying set of general conditions printed on the advertisement, even though the specific eligibility criteria for each post differ.

Eligible applicants need an FA, BA, or an equivalent qualification recognized by any Board, with at least a second division, together with a shorthand speed of 50 words per minute and a typing speed of 35 words per minute, plus working knowledge of Excel, MS Word and similar office applications. The age bracket runs from 18 to 30 years, and, as with the Computer Operator posts from the same notice, only candidates domiciled in Malakand Division's own districts - Swat, Buner, Shangla, Malakand, Dir Lower, Dir Upper and Chitral - may apply, reserving this seat for residents of the Division rather than the wider province. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate their shorthand and typing speeds practically as part of the selection process, since both are specific, measurable criteria rather than general skills assessed only on paper.

Applications go entirely through ETEA's online system rather than the Commissioner's office directly. Candidates should register on www.etea.edu.pk, pay the required test fee via bank challan, UBL branch, or EasyPaisa/agent, and submit the online form between 15 and 30 September 2026, filing a separate application for each post if also applying for a Computer Operator vacancy from the same notice. Roll number slips and test scheduling are communicated purely by SMS, so an active, correctly entered mobile number is essential, and only shortlisted candidates will be called forward for interview with no TA/DA payable. The original scanned advertisement covering all posts under this notice is available to view alongside this listing ahead of the 30 September 2026 closing date, and covers the full set of terms and conditions - including the ban on TA/DA and the requirement to bring original documents if shortlisted - that apply equally to this Stenographer post and the two Computer Operator posts from the same notice.
