The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, through the Chief Commissioner Mines Labour Welfare department, has opened applications for two regular Computer Operator positions at BPS-16. This is an ETEA-based recruitment, meaning you will sit a screening test before your documents are even looked at. The online application window opens on 13 April 2026 and closes on 30 April 2026 — that gives you a tight turnaround, so start your ETEA profile early.

JOB OVERVIEW

This recruitment is for the post of Computer Operator at BPS-16 under a Public Sector Department of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Two seats are available, with one allocated on merit and one under Zone-I. The positions are described as regular government posts, meaning they carry standard government employment status rather than being contractual or temporary.

The selection process runs entirely through ETEA. Candidates must first register on ETEA’s website, create a profile, and print an E-Sahulat token to get their CNIC verified through a NADRA franchise before they can even deposit the application fee. After fee submission, ETEA conducts a screening test, and only those who qualify move forward for scrutiny by the appointing authority. Interview call letters will be issued only to shortlisted candidates.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Education: Option A — At least a 2nd Class Bachelor’s Degree (four years) in Computer Sciences (BCS) or Information Technology (BIT) from a recognized university, or an equivalent qualification from a recognized university. Option B — At least a 2nd Class Bachelor’s Degree from a recognized university, plus a one-year Diploma in Information Technology from a recognized Board of Technical Education.

Age: 21 to 32 years. Age relaxation is admissible as per existing Government rules.

Experience: Not specified in source advertisement.

Domicile / Nationality: Candidates must be from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Zonal allocation (Merit and Zone-I) applies, meaning domicile zone will affect which seat you compete for.

Gender: Not specified in source advertisement.

Other Requirements:

Candidates working in Government or Semi-Government bodies must apply through the proper channel.
If applying for more than one post, a separate application and fee must be submitted for each post.
Foreign degree holders must provide equivalent certificates from HEC.
Candidates should not use ported or converted mobile numbers, as ETEA communicates Roll No. slips via SMS.
No TA/DA will be provided for the test or interview.

HOW TO APPLY

Visit www.etea.edu.pk and create your profile on ETEA’s website.
Print your E-Sahulat token from the ETEA website and visit any NADRA E-Sahulat franchise (Kiosk) to get your CNIC number verified. Without this step, you cannot apply.
Once verified, submit your online application for the Computer Operator post on www.etea.edu.pk. The online application form is available from 13 April 2026.
After submitting the application, a prescribed online deposit slip will be generated containing your token number, project code, and personal information.
Print the deposit slip and pay the prescribed, non-refundable test fee through Easypaisa app, an agent, or any branch of UBL Bank.
Keep the original bank-stamped deposit slip (candidate copy) with yourself. Do not share it with anyone.
Do not send documents or testimonials to the ETEA office at this stage. Copies will be required only if you qualify the screening test and are called by the Appointing Authority.
The last date for submission of the online application is 30 April 2026.
Your Roll No. slip will be sent via SMS by ETEA. Test date, time, and venue will be mentioned on the Roll No. slip. No separate call letter will be issued for the screening test by post or courier.

Always verify the latest instructions on the official advertisement before applying.

Nawa Verdict

Original analysis by NawaCareer editors

3/5

WORTH APPLYING?
Conditional — Worth applying if you hold the required CS or IT degree and have KPK domicile, but the competition-to-seat ratio makes this a long shot for many.

COMPETITION LEVEL:
Very High — Only 2 seats are available for an ETEA-based government post in KPK. ETEA recruitments consistently attract thousands of applicants, and with just one merit seat and one Zone-I seat, the odds are extremely narrow.

PAY AND BENEFITS:
The post is BPS-16, which is what the source advertisement confirms. No further salary figure, allowances, or benefits are mentioned in the advertisement. Candidates should check the current BPS-16 pay structure independently from official government sources to understand what they would actually be earning.

RED FLAGS:
Only 2 seats total — this is a very small intake for a government recruitment that will attract large numbers of applicants.
The advertisement does not mention the test fee amount anywhere. You will only discover this after registering on ETEA's portal.
The source text aggregating this ad incorrectly names it under "Chief Commissioner Mines Labour Welfare KPK Jobs" but the actual organization confirmed in the advertisement image is the same department — verify the exact department name on the ETEA portal before applying to ensure you are applying under the correct entity.
No experience requirement is mentioned, which may seem like a positive, but it also means the field of eligible candidates is very broad — increasing competition further.
Zonal allocation means even a high test score may not be enough if you are competing in the wrong zone.

HIDDEN BENEFITS:
These are regular government posts, not contract positions, which means if selected you get full government employment status. The ETEA process, while demanding, is at least structured and transparent compared to many public sector recruitments in Pakistan.

BEST FOR:
Fresh CS or IT graduates from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa who have their ETEA profile ready and are comfortable sitting competitive screening tests. If you have your degree in hand and your domicile aligns with the zonal allocation, this is worth the application effort.
