10. Official Source & Verification
Official application portal: https://www.njp.gov.pk
This article is based on the original newspaper advertisement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Balochistan Quota, PID (I) No. 3933/26), published in The Nation. The advertisement image itself prints no publication date; the 29 October 2026 date is taken from the newspaper-ad listing that published the image. Two points in the advertisement are stated exactly as printed and are not reconciled here: the advertisement says Sr. No. 01 to 03 must apply online within fifteen (15) days from the date of advertisement, while it also states that applications received after 08 November 2026 will not be entertained; and its walk-in interview wording mentions Sr. No. 04 to 06 although the advertisement table lists only four posts (Sr. No. 01 to 04). The Driver post is therefore reported as walk-in interview, and no walk-in date, time or venue is stated, because none is legible in the advertisement. The separate National Job Portal listings for the same Ministry (32 posts, last date 30 November 2026) are a different set and are NOT merged into this post. Ministry contact as printed in the advertisement: Deputy Director (Estt-V), 1st Floor, Agha Shahi Block, Constitution Avenue, G-5/1, Islamabad, Phone: 051-9207661.
