The Pakistan Air Force has opened a new civilian hiring round. PAF announced 180 civilian job vacancies for eligible candidates across Pakistan, and applications close on November 22, 2026.
Registration is online only. If you want a stable government job and meet the basic requirements, the window is short, so start your application early.
PAF Announces 180 Vacancies
The PAF published the advertisements on November 8, and online registration began on November 9. The 180 vacancies fall under three categories, and the Driver and Cook posts are reserved for male applicants. Other reports from this round name the three trades as Medical Assistant, Driver, and Cook.
Key Details
| Detail | Information |
| Organization | Pakistan Air Force (PAF) |
| Total vacancies | 180 (as reported) |
| Posts | Medical Assistant, Driver, Cook |
| Registration opened | November 9, 2026 |
| Last date to apply | November 22, 2026 |
| Official portal | joinpaf.gov.pk |
PAF will calculate applicant age as of March 27, 2027, and Medical Assistant candidates must be 18 to 30 years old.
Eligibility Criteria
PAF has set separate qualification, experience, and age requirements for each post. One job portal that cites the official advertisement reports these trade-wise details:
- Medical Assistant: Matric with Science, age 18 to 30
- Driver: Middle pass with a valid HTV (heavy transport vehicle) licence, age 18 to 35
- Cook: Middle pass, age 18 to 35
The initial test is computer-based, so every applicant needs basic computer skills.
Check before you apply: I found conflicting numbers for the per-post vacancy split. The 180 total comes from ProPakistani’s report. Another portal lists far smaller numbers for each trade, and those look carried over from PAF’s June 2026 round. I haven’t included a per-post breakdown because I couldn’t confirm one. Read the official advertisement on the portal for exact quotas, qualifications, and age limits.

How to Apply
- Register on the official PAF website,
- Pick the civilian jobs advertisement and read the criteria for your post.
- Enter your details exactly as they appear on your CNIC and certificates.
- Submit the form, then save and print your registration slip.
There is no application fee, and a NADRA Smart CNIC is compulsory. You can also visit your nearest PAF Information and Selection Centre for registration help.
Selection Process
PAF says the process includes computerized testing, and it will shortlist candidates on the recruitment criteria for each post. PAF’s usual civilian process also includes a medical examination and an interview. Those later steps weren’t in the sources I could open, so check the advertisement for the full list.
Limited Time, High Stakes
Government jobs with matric or middle-level qualifications are rare. Positions in a major defence institution draw tens of thousands of applicants, and a one-week gap between the ad and the deadline leaves little time for mistakes. A wrong date of birth or a misspelled name can get a registration rejected.
Beware of Fake Websites
Every big recruitment round attracts scams. The only official portal is joinpaf.gov.pk. Registration is free, so any site, agent, or “office” asking for money to secure a PAF job is a scam.
If you qualify, don’t wait for the last day. Keep your CNIC, certificates, and licence (for the Driver post) ready, and apply only through the official portal. Always cross-check the final vacancy split and quotas against PAF’s own advertisement.
