10. Official Source & Verification
Official portal: https://njp.gov.pk/ (NHA employer page, 15 listings, Job IDs 9986–10084)
Verification note (checked October 29, 2026): the facts in this article were verified from the 15 National Jobs Portal listings for the National Highway Authority (posted October 28, 2026, deadline November 11, 2026) and cross-checked against the original advertisement image (Daily Dawn, October 28, 2026, PID(I)3822/26), read directly. The advertisement itself prints no calendar deadline, only "within Fifteen (15) days of publication"; the fixed deadline used here is the one shown on NJP. Secondary pages showing 12 November 2026 were not used. Gemini extraction of the advertisement image returned no unreadable fields and matched the image and the NJP listings on every other number, date, age limit, vacancy count and link, except that Gemini misread Assistant Director (Engineer) vacancies as 05; an enlarged reading of the advertisement image confirms 06 (01 woman), agreeing with NJP, and the total is 29. The advertisement states no experience for Assistant Private Secretary; the NJP page shows an ambiguous experience entry ("5Nil") which has not been interpreted here. Age limits in the table are the NJP maximum ages after relaxation; the advertisement lists base ages with 05 years general relaxation plus 05 years Balochistan relaxation. No application fee and no posting location are stated on NJP or in the advertisement.
