Steno Typist

About This Job

The Information Department, Government of Sindh, has advertised seventeen regular posts of Steno Typist in BPS-14 on the Sindh Job Portal, the largest single listing in the department's current hiring round. Seven of the posts are in Karachi, spread across the Press Information directorate (two posts) and the directorates of Social Media, Electronic Media, Research & Reference, Planning & Development and Legal (one each), while the remaining ten are in regional offices in Hyderabad, Dadu, Jamshoro, Matiari, Tando Muhammad Khan, Mirpurkhas, Mithi, Ghotki, Kashmore and Shahdadkot at Kambar. Ten seats are for rural Sindh and seven for urban Sindh. The post involves typing and taking dictation for officers, a key support role in a department that produces a heavy volume of official correspondence and press material. 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.

The qualification bar is the same for both of the department's stenography posts: a bachelor's degree in at least second division or equivalent CGPA from an HEC-recognised university, a six-month certificate in shorthand and English typing from an institute recognised by the Sindh Board of Technical Education, a shorthand speed of 120 words per minute and an English typing speed of 35 words per minute on computer, and a certificate in MS Office from an SBTE-recognised institute. No separate experience requirement is listed. The age limit is 21 to 28 years, with the five-year age relaxation allowed under Government of Sindh policy. Shortlisting is through the IBA Sukkur Testing Services Graduation Certificate test, where the minimum score is 40, and a minimum of 33 percent marks is recorded against the qualification. Seats are split between rural and urban Sindh and the portal assigns each applicant to the correct pool using the taluka in their profile. The speed requirements are demanding, so candidates should expect them to be tested in practice and should only apply if they genuinely meet them.

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.
