The Local Government & HIP Department, Government of Sindh, has advertised 38 vacancies spread across ten position titles and four different offices — from the Sindh Civil Services and Local Government Academy in Tando Jam to the Sindh Master Plan Authority in Karachi. The notice, published in Dawn on August 15, 2026, gives applicants a tight 15-day window from the publication date to apply.
Why “One Ad, Multiple Offices” Matters Here
This isn’t a single-location hiring drive. The 38 posts are distributed across four separate offices, each recruiting for different roles:
- Sindh Civil Services & Local Government Academy, Tando Jam — Stenographer, Data Entry Operator, Cashier, Pesh Imam
- Regional Directorate & Field Offices, Local Government — Stenographer, Computer Operator
- Provincial Local Government Commission, Karachi — Stenographer
- Directorate of Town Planning, Sindh Master Plan Authority — Draughtsman, Assistant Draughtsman, Land Inspector, Typist, and additional posts
If you’re applying, check which office each post belongs to before assuming your posting location — a Stenographer post exists in three different offices with separate vacancy counts.

Note on one additional post: the advertisement lists a further batch of 5 posts under the Directorate of Town Planning (BPS-05), but the position title and qualification details for this specific entry were not clearly legible in the original notice due to print quality. If this post interests you, confirm the exact title and requirements directly through the Sindh Job Portal rather than relying on any secondhand summary — including this one.
The Test You Need Before You Even Apply
This is the detail that trips up a lot of applicants on Sindh government postings: before your application means anything, you need to have already passed the General Screening Test (Graduation Category) conducted by the Sukkur IBA Testing Service (STS), with at least 40% marks, and hold the STS certificate as proof. Without that certificate in hand, applying through the portal won’t get you considered — this isn’t a test you take after applying, it’s a prerequisite.
