Introduction
Military Lands and Cantonments Department manages military lands and cantonment areas, and this is a Balochistan-quota intake of regular posts based in Quetta — not a nationwide Ministry of Defence recruitment. The largest intake is Mali (3 posts), followed by one post each for Stenotypist, Lower Division Clerk, Peon/Naib Qasid and Survey Draughtsman. The posts range from Primary-pass Mali to an Intermediate-qualified Stenotypist and a diploma-holding Survey Draughtsman, and NJP lists zero experience for every post, so even a fresh candidate with the right qualification can apply. The maximum age limit is 35 years for all five posts, NJP states no minimum age, and federal age relaxation rules apply. Applications are accepted online only through the National Job Portal, and the closing date is 16 November 2026.
