Updated: 10 October 2026

If you live in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and you are looking for a government job right now, there is one name you will see again and again: ETEA. In October 2026, the Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency lists 21 open recruitment projects on its advertisements page, with last dates running from 10 October to 31 October 2026. The list includes Rescue 1122, medical teaching hospitals, district and civil courts, forest and wildlife offices, a university and more.

What Is ETEA and Why Do So Many KP Jobs Go Through It?

ETEA stands for the Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency. It is a testing agency of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (ETEA Jobs October 2026) government. Many provincial departments, hospitals, courts and offices hand their recruitment tests over to ETEA, so that the process stays organised, merit based and open to everyone.

For you, as a candidate, this means three things:

1. You apply on ETEA’s website, not at the department or hospital.
2. ETEA collects applications, issues roll number slips and conducts the test for most of these projects.
3. The employer decides the later stages, such as interviews, medical checks or document verification, according to its own advertisement.

Because every project is separate, each one has its own code, its own last date, its own fee and its own eligibility conditions. That is why you should never assume that the rules of one project apply to another.

All 21 Open ETEA Projects, Sorted by Last Date

The table below lists every open project on ETEA’s list as of 7 October 2026. Read the “Last Date” column first, because it decides how much time you have.

Last Date	Project	Code
10 October	Project Coordination and Monitoring Unit, Local Government and Rural Development Department	855
10 October	Medical Teaching Institution Hayatabad Medical Complex and KGMC	853
10 October	Research and Development Directorate, Forest Department	852
10 October	District Judge Abbottabad	815
15 October	Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Foundation	856
15 October	District Judge Peshawar	844
15 October	Senior Civil Judge Dir Lower	843
15 October	District and Sessions Judge Lakki Marwat	840
15 October	Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Emergency Rescue Service (Rescue 1122)	839
20 October	DFO Wildlife Buner	864
20 October	MTI Ayub Medical College and Teaching Hospital	863
20 October	DFO Wildlife Division Mardan	862
20 October	UET Mardan, Deputy Director Finance	861

30 October	Senior Civil Judge Mansehra	859
30 October	District Judge Kohat	857
30 October	Office of the Deputy Commissioner Abbottabad	841
31 October	Senior Civil Judge Bannu	858

How the dates are spread out: 4 projects close on 10 October, 5 on 15 October, 5 on 20 October, 1 on 21 October, 2 on 25 October, 3 on 30 October and 1 on 31 October. One more project, PESCO (code 850), closed on 7 October, so it is no longer open.

A small but important warning: the “last date” on ETEA’s list (ETEA Jobs October 2026) is not always the same as the date printed inside the employer’s advertisement. Some advertisements give a separate date for depositing the fee or for another stage. Read the advertisement itself before you decide that you still have time.

Projects Closing Today, 10 October 2026

Four projects end today:

• Project 855: Project Coordination and Monitoring Unit, Local Government and Rural Development Department
• Project 853: Medical Teaching Institution Hayatabad Medical Complex and KGMC
• Project 852: Research and Development Directorate, Forest Department
• Project 815: District Judge Abbottabad

What should you do if you have not started yet? Be honest with yourself about the time. The application needs a profile, a NADRA E-Sahulat verification, and a fee deposit at a bank. If you have not done the CNIC verification and your bank is closing soon, it may not be possible to finish today. In that case, do not panic and do not pay anyone who promises a shortcut. Instead, use today to get your documents and profile ready, and aim for the projects that close on 15, 20 or 25 October. There are many of them, and some may suit your qualification just as well.

Rescue 1122 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Code 839): 800 Posts, Closing 15 October

This is the biggest project on ETEA’s list this month. The advertisement offers 800 posts, divided like this:

Post	Vacancies
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)	350
Fire Rescuer	175
Driver	275
Total	800

From the advertisement details, the general eligibility pattern is:

• EMT (BPS-12): paramedical diploma, nursing or LHV qualification, with preference for health technology or surgical technology backgrounds
• Fire Rescuer (BPS-11): F.Sc (Pre-Engineering) or a Diploma of Associate Engineering (DAE)
• Driver (BPS-06): middle school qualification and a valid heavy or light transport vehicle driving licence
• Age: 22 to 35 years
• Domicile: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

There are reserved seats for women and minorities. For the full explanation, documents and steps, read our dedicated article: Rescue 1122 KPK Jobs 2026: 800 Vacancies.

Since this is the most popular project, expect heavy traffic on the ETEA (ETEA Jobs October 2026) website and long queues at bank branches in the last two days. Do not leave it for 14 or 15 October.

Medical Teaching Institutions and Health Projects

Hospitals and health bodies make up a big part of this month’s list. If you have a health-related qualification or experience, check these carefully:

• MTI Hayatabad Medical Complex and KGMC (code 853): closes 10 October
• KP Health Foundation (code 856): closes 15 October
• MTI Ayub Medical College and Teaching Hospital (code 863): closes 20 October
• District Health Office Abbottabad (code 860): closes 20 October
• Bacha Khan Medical Complex Swabi, MTI (code 866): closes 25 October

The Bacha Khan Medical Complex advertisement lists 51 positions. Medical teaching institutions usually advertise a mix of clinical, technical, administrative and support posts, and each post has its own qualification, so do not apply for a post just because the hospital name sounds right. Match your degree, registration (for example, a council registration where the post requires one) and experience to the exact post.

If your degree gives you a CGPA instead of a percentage, and the advertisement asks for marks or division, our free GPA to Percentage Calculator and CGPA Calculator can help you understand where you stand before you apply. For official proof, always use the percentage or marks certificate from your university.

District and Civil Court Jobs

Courts are the second big group on this month’s list. These are the court projects currently open:

Last Date	Court	Code
10 October	District Judge Abbottabad	815
15 October	District Judge Peshawar	844
15 October	Senior Civil Judge Dir Lower	843
15 October	District and Sessions Judge Lakki Marwat	840
21 October	District Judge Mansehra	854
30 October	Senior Civil Judge Mansehra	859
30 October	District Judge Kohat	857
31 October	Senior Civil Judge Bannu	858

Court recruitment is usually for clerical and support posts, and many of them test your typing speed and computer skills, not only your general knowledge. Also remember that district court posts are often limited to residents of that district or division.

A Closer Look at the District Judge Mansehra Advertisement (Code 854)

The advertisement for District Judge Mansehra is printed in Urdu, and it offers 16 posts in three grades:

Post	Grade	Vacancies
Computer Operator	BPS-16	4
Junior Scale Stenographer	BPS-14	4
Junior Clerk	BPS-11	8

Key points from the advertisement:

• Age: 18 to 30 years, counted as of 1 January 2026
• Seats: some are open merit and some are under the women or minority quota
• Residence: the advertisement invites permanent residents of the Hazara division
• Typing requirement for Junior Scale Stenographer: 50 words per minute in shorthand and 35 words per minute in English typing
• Typing requirement for Junior Clerk: 30 words per minute in typing
• Fee: the last date to deposit the fee is 21 October 2026

This is a perfect example of why practice matters. If you are aiming at a court clerk or stenographer post, you can check your speed for free with our Typing Speed Test tool, and read our full guide on the PPSC and FPSC typing test to understand how typing tests are usually judged on both speed and accuracy.

Forest, Wildlife, Soil and Local Government Projects

Not every job is in a hospital or a courtroom. Several departments(ETEA Jobs October 2026) are recruiting through ETEA this month:

• Research and Development Directorate, Forest Department (code 852): closes 10 October
• DFO Wildlife Buner (code 864): closes 20 October
• DFO Wildlife Division Mardan (code 862): closes 20 October
• Director General Soil and Water Conservation (code 865): closes 25 October
• Project Coordination and Monitoring Unit, Local Government and Rural Development Department (code 855): closes 10 October
• Office of the Deputy Commissioner Abbottabad (code 841): closes 30 October
• UET Mardan, Deputy Director Finance (code 861): closes 20 October

The UET Mardan project is for a single senior position, Deputy Director Finance, so it suits experienced finance professionals rather than fresh graduates. For project 865 (Soil and Water Conservation), ETEA’s list shows a corrigendum, which is a correction notice (ETEA Jobs October 2026) that can change dates or conditions. If you plan to apply to any project with a corrigendum, read both the original advertisement and the correction before you pay.

Several projects, such as the Health Foundation, the Forest Department R&D project, and some court projects, also have a syllabus or paper composition file attached on ETEA’s list. If your project has one, download it first. It tells you what the test will cover, so you can study the right topics instead of guessing.

How to Apply for ETEA Jobs: Step by Step

The steps are the same for every project. Follow them in this order:

1. Create your profile. Open the official ETEA website (ETEA Jobs October 2026v) and register with your CNIC number and a mobile number that is in use and not ported (the SMS with your roll number slip will go to this number).
2. Print your E-Sahulat token. After you register, print the token that ETEA’s website gives you.
3. Verify your CNIC at a NADRA E-Sahulat franchise. Take your original CNIC and the token. The advertisements say you cannot apply without this step, so do it early.
4. Choose your project. Go to the Latest Advertisements list, open the project you want and press Apply Now.
5. Fill in the form. Enter your personal, education and domicile details carefully. Upload documents if the portal asks for them.
6. Pay the fee through One Link. The fee is non-refundable and different for each project, so pay only the amount shown for your project.
7. Keep the stamped deposit slip. The candidate copy of the bank slip is your proof of payment.
8. Download your roll number slip. When ETEA sends the SMS, download the slip and keep a printed copy for the test day.

If any step is unclear, the official ETEA website and the instructions inside your project’s advertisement are the final authority. Our guide cannot replace them.

For a job application that also needs a clean CV or bio data (for interviews, hospitals or private-sector style forms), you can create one in minutes with our free ATS Bio Data Maker.

Documents to Keep Ready

Most ETEA projects ask for similar documents. Scan them now, in clear and readable quality, so you are not searching for them at the last minute:

1. Original CNIC (and a clear scan or photo of both sides)
2. NADRA E-Sahulat token and verification receipt
3. Educational certificates and transcripts (Matric, Intermediate, Bachelor’s or higher, as the post requires)
4. Domicile certificate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (or the district or division the advertisement names)
5. Professional registration, where the post needs it (for example, a nursing, medical or engineering council registration)
6. Experience certificates, if the post asks for experience
7. Driving licence, for driver posts
8. Recent passport-size photographs
9. Stamped candidate copy of the fee deposit slip

You can double-check the format of your CNIC number with our free CNIC Tracker tool. If a portal complains that your photo or scan is too large, our Job Document Resizer can help you reduce the file size without a software download. Always follow the exact size and format instructions shown on ETEA’s page, since they decide what is accepted.

Which Project Is Right for You? A Simple Guide

Do not apply to every project just because you can. Each application has its own fee, and a wrong application is wasted money. Use this simple table as a starting point:

If you have…	Look at…
Paramedical, nursing or LHV qualification	Rescue 1122 EMT posts, hospital (MTI) projects, District Health Office Abbottabad
F.Sc Pre-Engineering or DAE	Rescue 1122 Fire Rescuer posts
Valid driving licence (heavy or light) and middle or higher education	Rescue 1122 Driver posts
Good typing speed and computer skills	District and civil court clerical posts (for example, Computer Operator, Stenographer, Junior Clerk)
Finance degree and senior experience	UET Mardan, Deputy Director Finance
Forestry, wildlife or environmental background	Forest Department R&D, DFO Wildlife projects, Soil and Water Conservation
Graduate degree and general administrative interest	Deputy Commissioner Abbottabad, Local Government project, Health Foundation

This table is only a guide. The exact post, qualification, age limit and quota are inside each advertisement, so always read the advertisement for your project.

Common Mistakes That Can Cost You the Job

People lose their chance for small, avoidable reasons. Watch out for these:

• Starting on the last day. The CNIC verification and the bank deposit both take time, and the ETEA site and banks are busiest at the end.
• Paying the wrong fee. The fee is not the same for every project. Pay only what your project’s slip shows.
• Applying without reading the advertisement. Age limits, quotas and the area of residence differ between projects.
• Ignoring a corrigendum. A correction notice can change a date or a condition.
• Using a mobile number you cannot receive SMS on. Your roll number slip arrives by SMS.
• Losing the deposit slip. Keep the stamped candidate copy until the whole process is finished.
• Trusting a middleman. Nobody can guarantee you a job. Anyone who asks for money to “fix” a result or a seat is a fraud.

How to Prepare for the ETEA Test

For most posts, the written test is the main hurdle. Here is a calm, practical way to prepare, even if you only have a few weeks:

Step 1: Get the syllabus. If your project has a syllabus (ETEA Jobs October 2026) or paper composition file on ETEA’s list, download it first and study only what it says.

Step 2: Build a daily routine. Two focused hours every day are better than ten hours once a week. Split your time between your subject, English, Urdu, general knowledge, Pakistan studies and basic mathematics, as the paper requires.

Step 3: Practise past-style questions. Solve multiple choice questions under time pressure. This trains your speed and your accuracy together.

Step 4: Practise typing (for clerical posts). If you are applying for a Junior Clerk, Computer Operator or Stenographer post, test your typing every day. Aim to be comfortably above the required speed, not just on the line, because mistakes reduce your net speed.

Step 5: Revise current affairs. Read the news for a few minutes daily, with a focus on Pakistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Step 6: Prepare for test day. Keep your roll number slip, original CNIC and a pen ready the night before, and know the route to the test centre.

After You Apply: Roll Number Slip and What Comes Next

Once your application and fee are complete, ETEA sends your roll number slip by SMS. Download it, print it and check that your name, CNIC and project code are correct. If something is wrong, contact ETEA through its official channels at once, because corrections are usually allowed only within a short window after the closing date.

After the test, the process depends on the project. Some posts have a second stage such as an interview, a skills test, a physical or medical check, or document verification. Your project’s advertisement explains which stages apply.

Stay Safe: Fake Websites and Fake Agents

Whenever a big recruitment opens, fake pages and agents appear. Protect yourself with these rules:

• Apply only through the official ETEA website.
• The online portal is free to open. The only money you pay is the fee on a bank slip, in your own name.
• Do not share your CNIC photo, bank details or OTP with strangers on WhatsApp or Facebook.
• Be careful with websites (including job portals) that show different last dates for the same project. Compare against ETEA’s own list.

ETEA vs PPSC vs FPSC: What Is the Difference?

Many job seekers get confused because Pakistan has several recruiting bodies:

Body	Level	Typical use
ETEA	Khyber Pakhtunkhwa	Many KP departments, hospitals, courts and offices send their recruitment tests to ETEA
PPSC	Punjab	Punjab government departments (see our guide to PPSC Charge Nurse Jobs 2026)
FPSC	Federal	Federal ministries, divisions and organisations across Pakistan

If you are not a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa resident, most of this month’s ETEA projects may not be open to you, because many need a KP domicile or residence in a specific district. In that case, check our Provincial Government Jobs and Federal Government Jobs pages for options in your own province.

How to Read an ETEA Advertisement in Five Minutes

Many applications fail because the candidate skimmed the advertisement. Use this quick method every time, and do it before you deposit any money:

1. Find the project code and title. Make sure it matches the project you chose on ETEA’s list.
2. Check the last date and the fee deposit date. They are not always the same, so note both.
3. Read the post-wise qualification. Look for words such as “preference”, “must” and “valid registration”, because they decide whether you are eligible or only have an advantage.
4. Check the age limit and the date it is counted from. Some advertisements count age from a fixed date, such as 1 January 2026, not from the closing date.
5. Check domicile or residence rules. Some posts are open to all of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while court posts may name one district or division.
6. Look at quotas. Women, minority and special person seats are usually listed separately, with their own number of posts.
7. Look for typing, shorthand, driving or experience conditions. These often decide the final selection even if you pass the written test.
8. Check for a syllabus, paper pattern or corrigendum link. If one exists, open it before anything else.

Quick Checklist Before You Pay the Fee

Run through this list once. It takes two minutes and can save you a fee and a lost chance:

• I have read the advertisement for my project, not a similar one.
• My qualification, age and domicile match the post I am applying for.
• My NADRA E-Sahulat verification is complete.
• The mobile number in my profile is active and I can receive SMS on it.
• I know the exact fee shown for my project, and I am paying only that amount.
• I will keep the stamped candidate copy of the slip safely until the process ends.
• I have noted the last date, and I have left myself at least one spare day.
• My documents are scanned clearly, with names and numbers readable.

Your Action Plan for the Next 3 Weeks

Here is a simple plan you can follow right now:

• Today (10 October): decide which projects match your qualification. Start your ETEA profile and print your E-Sahulat token. If a project closes today and you are not ready, move on to the next one.
• 11 to 12 October: complete your NADRA E-Sahulat verification and scan all documents.
• 13 to 14 October: apply and deposit the fee for projects closing on 15 October, such as Rescue 1122 or the court projects.
• 15 to 19 October: apply for projects closing on 20 and 21 October.
• 20 to 24 October: apply for projects closing on 25 October and start serious test preparation.
• 25 to 31 October: finish any remaining applications and download your roll number slips as they arrive.
