Data Processing Assistant

About This Job

The Irrigation Department of the Government of Sindh, through the office of the Chief Engineer Sukkur Barrage Left Bank Region, has opened six regular posts of Data Processing Assistant in BPS-12 on the Sindh Job Portal. These are district-level vacancies tied to Hyderabad and Matiari: two posts sit with the Superintending Engineer, Rohri Canal Circle Office in Hyderabad, three with the Nasir Division in Hyderabad, and one with the Hala Irrigation Division at Hala in Matiari district. Of the six seats, five are allocated to male candidates and one is reserved for a female candidate. The job itself involves supporting computer and data operators in running office computer systems so that routine government business of the irrigation offices can be processed digitally, which makes it a practical entry point for IT diploma and degree holders who want permanent provincial service close to home in lower Sindh.

Eligibility is set out in some detail. Applicants need a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Information Technology, or an equivalent qualification, from a university or institute recognised by the Higher Education Commission, or alternatively a diploma in IT, and the portal records the minimum as a four-year graduation in at least second division. Several diploma routes are listed as acceptable, including a one-year DIT or DCS from the Sindh Board of Technical Education, a two-year diploma in Computer Science and a three-year DIT from a recognised government institute. On top of the academic requirement, candidates must already have at least one year of experience working as a Data Processing Assistant, which rules out fresh graduates. The age window is 18 to 28 years, with the usual five-year relaxation available under Government of Sindh policy, and a minimum aggregate of 33 percent marks is recorded against the qualification. Selection runs through the IBA Sukkur Testing Services Graduation Certificate test, where a minimum score of 40 is required to be considered. Because these are district-level seats, applicants should make sure their domicile and taluka details on the portal match Hyderabad or Matiari district, as eligibility for district posts is checked against the candidate's own profile.

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.
