PARC Jobs 2026 reward hands-on experience more than paper qualifications. The Pakistan Agricultural Research Council has opened 11 contract posts for Balochistan domicile holders at its research centres in Quetta and Lasbella, and most of the seats ask for Matric plus years of practical work rather than a university degree. The advertisement appeared on 30 October 2026, and applications through the National Job Portal close on 13 November 2026. The posts sit under the Ministry of National Food Security and Research, so the work is research support work in the field, in the laboratory and on the farm.
Six post titles share the 11 seats. Farm Attendant-I leads with three seats, while Driver, Lab Attendant-I and Naib Qasid hold two seats each, and Scientific Assistant-I and Lab Attendant-II hold one seat each. The grades run on the SPS scale rather than BPS, from SPS-01 for the support posts to SPS-05 for the Scientific Assistant. A reader who has spent years doing farm or laboratory work will find this round friendlier than most federal advertisements, because experience counts directly toward eligibility for several titles.

Posting matters here, because the two centres split the seats in a pattern worth noting before applying. The Scientific Assistant, both Drivers and all three Farm Attendants sit at BARDC in Quetta. The Lab Attendant-I seats split one each between Quetta and CARI in Lasbella, and the Lab Attendant-II seat sits at CARI in Lasbella. A candidate from Lasbella who applies for a Quetta seat should be ready to work in Quetta, and the same logic runs the other way. The advertisement also gives a five year additional relaxation for Balochistan candidates on top of the published age ranges, and candidates who already work in government must apply through the proper channel with a No Objection Certificate. Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interviews, so the online form is the whole first stage.
Eligibility Criteria for PARC Jobs 2026
Every applicant must hold a valid Balochistan domicile. Scientific Assistant-I needs Matric Science with a two year Field Assistant diploma or a diploma in Agricultural Sciences, plus eight years of relevant experience. Driver needs Matric with a valid LTV licence and three years of practical experience after obtaining the licence. Farm Attendant-I and Lab Attendant-I need Matric with five years of relevant experience, or a relevant trade certificate from a recognised institution, with preference for a trade diploma. Lab Attendant-II needs Matric, preferably with relevant experience or a trade certificate. Naib Qasid needs Matric. Age ranges run from 18 to 30 years or 18 to 35 years by post, with five years of additional relaxation for Balochistan candidates.
