A single Junior Clerk vacancy has opened at the Directorate of People’s Poverty Reduction, under the Planning & Development Department, Government of Sindh, Karachi. The notice was issued on August 18, 2026, and — unlike the multi-post ads that dominate most government hiring rounds — this one is about as narrow as a listing gets: one post, one office, one qualification path.
What This Directorate Actually Does
The name explains itself more than most government office names do: this directorate sits within Sindh’s Planning & Development Department and works specifically on poverty-reduction initiatives across the province — program planning, coordination, and monitoring rather than direct field-level welfare delivery. A clerical role here means supporting the administrative backbone of that planning work, not frontline poverty relief itself — a distinction worth understanding if you’re choosing between this and a more field-facing government role.
The Position
| Post | BPS | Vacancies | Age Limit | Qualification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Junior Clerk | 11 | 1 | 21–28 | Graduation (2nd division), HEC-recognized, plus a 6-month MS Office certificate from an institute recognized by the Sindh Board of Technical Education/Trade Testing Board |
With only one seat available, competition here will likely come down to who has both the degree and the specific MS Office certificate already in hand — candidates missing either requirement won’t clear the screening regardless of how strong the rest of their profile is.
Before You Apply — The Certificate That Comes First
As with several other current Sindh government postings, you can’t skip straight to filling out the application. You first need a General Screening Test certificate from the Sukkur IBA Testing Service (STS), scoring at least 40% in your category, before your application on the portal carries any weight. Treat this as step zero, not something you’ll sort out after applying.
