Age limits and how to apply
Age limits vary by post. The Director Forensic post is open to candidates aged 45 to 60, while most scientist and junior scientist posts carry a 25 to 45 age range. Support posts start at 20, and no age relaxation applies.
Applications must reach the Section Officer (Police), Home Department, Block No. 11, Civil Secretariat, Zarghoon Road, Quetta, by December 6, 2026. Candidates must send an application and a detailed CV with supporting documents, four recent photographs and contact details. Government employees must apply through the proper channel.
The hiring matters because forensic evidence now decides cases that once rested on witness accounts alone. Polygraph tests, fingerprint matching, toxicology and questioned-document checks all feed into police investigations and court trials. Balochistan’s borders reopened to trade this year, and the province has drawn Saudi interest in its minerals, which puts more pressure on its institutions to work to a professional standard.
For job seekers weighing their options, Punjab’s public service commission has advertised 48 PMS posts, but those need competitive exams, while the Balochistan forensic posts are filled by interview.
