The Engineering Wing of Sindh’s Sports & Youth Affairs Department has advertised 9 vacancies across two positions — Data Processing Assistant and Junior Clerk. Only candidates with Sindh Province domicile are eligible, and this is a fairly small, straightforward ad compared to some of the larger recruitment rounds we’ve covered, but it comes with a specific pre-qualification step that’s easy to miss if you don’t apply for the actual screening test first.
The Two Positions
Data Processing Assistant (BPS-12, 04 vacancies)
- Qualification: Bachelor’s in Computer Science or IT, 16 years’ education, at least Second Division or equivalent CGPA, from an HEC-recognized university; OR Graduation (at least Second Division) with a Diploma in Computer Science or IT from an institute recognized by the Sindh Board of Technical Education (SBTE) or the Government
- Age: 21–28 years
Junior Clerk (BPS-11, 05 vacancies)
- Qualification: Graduation (at least Second Division) from any HEC-recognized university, plus a Six Months’ Certification Course in MS Office from an institute recognized by SBTE or the Trade Testing Board
- Age: 21–28 years
The STS Screening Test Comes Before You Can Even Apply Properly
This is the detail most likely to trip people up: applicants must have already passed the General Screening Test of the Graduation Category, conducted by the Sukkur IBA Testing Services (STS), with a minimum score of 40%, and must hold the STS-issued certificate as proof. This isn’t something you do after submitting your application — it’s a prerequisite you need in hand before you’re eligible to apply at all. If you haven’t taken this test yet, that’s the first thing to sort out, not something to leave until later in the process.
The Junior Clerk Post Isn’t Just “Graduation” — Read the Second Condition Carefully
It’s easy to read “Graduation, Second Division” and assume you qualify for Junior Clerk. But there’s a second, equally mandatory requirement: a Six Months’ Certification Course specifically in MS Office from an SBTE or Trade Testing Board recognized institute. A general computer literacy background, or informal MS Office familiarity, doesn’t meet this — it needs to be a formal, recognized six-month certification. Worth checking whether your own credentials actually include this specific course before assuming you’re eligible.

Given how central the STS screening test is to eligibility here, it’s worth checking Sindh jobs regularly for similar Sindh Job Portal postings, since several provincial departments currently require the same pre-qualification test before an application is even accepted.
Based on a newspaper advertisement published in Daily Dawn, September 18, 2026 (INF-KRY: 4126/26). The exact posting city isn’t stated in the ad beyond “Government of Sindh.” Confirm complete eligibility, STS test scheduling, and application steps directly at sjp.gos.pk before applying.
