About KP Safe Cities Project

KP Safe Cities Systems Jobs 2026 Apply Online – BPS-17. KP Safe Cities Project runs under the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s push to modernise surveillance, communications and IT infrastructure across the province. Keeping servers, enterprise platforms and system uptime under control is central to that mission, which is where this particular post fits in.

The current advert covers six positions in total — five technical Assistant Director roles plus one support post — all screened through a single ETEA test cycle beginning 1 August 2026.

Assistant Director – Systems

Two posts are open at BPS-17 for candidates who can manage enterprise system administration end to end. Certification on major platforms is preferred, though not the only path in — a relevant degree paired with hands-on experience is what the eligibility criteria actually ask for.

Eligibility Criteria

Note: Only the qualification and experience criteria above were disclosed for this post; day-to-day duties were not itemised in the advertisement.

⚠️ Fee & Verification Notice

The test fee here is a genuine government charge, but pay it only the official way. It is non-refundable and collected via the Easypaisa app/agent or a UBL Bank branch, against the deposit slip your ETEA profile generates automatically. Never send money to an individual or unofficial link claiming to process your application.

Before applying, complete NADRA E-Sahulat CNIC verification using the token printed from your ETEA profile. If you’re applying to more than one Safe Cities post, each requires its own application and fee.

How to Apply

1. Register a profile on the ETEA website: www.etea.edu.pk.
2. Print your E-Sahulat token and verify your CNIC at a NADRA E-Sahulat kiosk.
3. Apply online specifically for Assistant Director – Systems.
4. Generate the deposit slip with your token number and project code.
5. Pay the fee via Easypaisa or UBL Bank.
6. Retain the stamped candidate copy of the deposit slip.
7. Watch for the SMS notification and download your Roll No. Slip from the ETEA site; call letters are not sent by post.

Required Documents

Do not post or courier documents to ETEA. Shortlisted candidates only will be asked to produce their originals later in the process, so hold on to your CNIC, degree, certification proofs, and domicile until then.

Selection Procedure

Passing the ETEA screening test grants provisional eligibility only; the Appointing Authority separately scrutinises each candidate’s credentials before final selection. Serving government employees must apply through proper channel, and no TA/DA is paid for attending the test or interview.
