Dark Room Attendant

About This Job

The Information Department of the Government of Sindh has opened three regular posts of Dark Room Attendant in BPS-5 on the Sindh Job Portal. All three vacancies are with the Public Relations Director Press Information in Karachi, and they are split on a rural-urban basis, with two seats for rural Sindh and one for urban Sindh. The work relates to photography and the developing and printing of films, supporting the department's press photography operation that documents official events and supplies images to newspapers and media outlets. The Information Department is the provincial government's public relations and media wing, handling press releases, photography, film and electronic media coverage of government activities, so its support and technical staff work closely with the department's press, film and regional information offices. For people who have learned traditional darkroom and photo-processing skills, this is a rare permanent government opening in that field.

Applicants need Matriculation with at least a C grade from a recognised Board of Education, plus two years of practical experience in photography and in developing and printing films, and the portal lists a certificate in a relevant field, photography, as part of the qualification profile. The age limit is 18 to 28 years, with the standard five-year Government of Sindh age relaxation. Shortlisting uses the IBA Sukkur Testing Services Matriculation Certificate test, with a minimum score of 40, and a minimum of 33 percent marks is recorded against the qualification. Because seats are allocated as two rural and one urban, the portal decides which seat an applicant competes for based on the taluka recorded in their profile, so candidates should make sure their domicile and taluka are correctly entered. Experience certificates covering darkroom or photo-lab work will be important evidence, so they should be kept ready before applying.

Applications are accepted only online through the Sindh Job Portal, the Government of Sindh's centralised recruitment platform run by the Science & Information Technology Department and developed by Sukkur IBA University. Candidates need to register or sign in at sjp.gos.pk, complete their profile carefully, because the portal uses the recorded domicile, taluka, gender and qualification details to decide which seats an applicant is eligible for, and then open this specific listing and press Apply Now. There is no application fee at all, and the portal explicitly warns that anyone asking for money on its behalf is not connected with it. Shortlisting is driven by the candidate's IBA Sukkur Testing Services score, and only shortlisted applicants will be called for the test or interview, with no travel or daily allowance paid for attending. Anyone giving false information risks being permanently blacklisted from the portal, so documents and entries should match exactly. The closing date for this post is 24 October 2026, and since the portal tends to slow down in the final days, interested candidates are advised to finish their profile and submit well before the deadline.
