Calligraphist

About This Job

A regular post of Calligraphist in BPS-8 has been advertised by the Information Department, Government of Sindh, on the Sindh Job Portal. The single vacancy is placed with the Public Relations Director Press Information in Karachi and is open on merit. The role is responsible for creating and designing publication material, producing traditional or digital calligraphy, preparing art layouts and handling pasting and layout work for printing and publication, which ties it directly to the department's printed material, banners and official publications. 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. This is one of the few permanent government posts where artistic calligraphy skills are the core requirement.

Applicants need Intermediate with at least a C grade from a recognised Board of Education, plus at least two years of experience in calligraphy, art, pasting and publication work. The age limit is 18 to 28 years, and the Government of Sindh's five-year age relaxation is applicable. Selection runs through the IBA Sukkur Testing Services Intermediate Certificate test, with a minimum score of 40, and a minimum of 33 percent marks is recorded against the qualification. Because there is only one open-merit seat and the work is specialised, candidates with a portfolio of calligraphy, layout or publication work, and experience letters from a press, publisher or design studio, will be best placed once shortlisting is done. Both traditional hand calligraphy and digital design skills are mentioned in the job description, so familiarity with layout software is likely to be an advantage alongside traditional skill.

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.
