Islamabad Capital Territory Police, working under the Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control, has announced a major recruitment drive covering 1,624 Executive Staff vacancies for 2026. The posts span Sub-Inspector, Assistant Sub-Inspector, and Constable, and applications from both male and female Pakistani candidates are invited online.
Islamabad’s police force is the frontline security presence in the federal capital, and a recruitment drive of 1,624 seats is a genuinely significant expansion of that workforce. With posts ranging from Constable up through Sub-Inspector, this advertisement covers candidates from Matric level all the way up to graduate level, making it one of the broader entry points into policing currently open in Pakistan.
For candidates across Punjab, Sindh, KPK, Balochistan, AJK, GB, and merged districts, the provincial and regional quota system built into this recruitment means seats are genuinely distributed nationwide, not concentrated in Islamabad alone, and the advertisement explicitly allows transgender persons to apply under the Transgender Persons Protection of Rights Act 2018.
Islamabad Capital Territory Police, commonly known as ICT Police, is responsible for law enforcement and public safety within the federal capital, operating under the Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control. As the police force for Pakistan’s capital city, ICT Police handles everything from routine law enforcement to security for federal government institutions, making this a genuinely high-visibility and high-responsibility police force within the country’s overall policing structure.
A total of 1,624 Executive Staff vacancies are open across three ranks. Constable carries by far the largest share with 1,540 posts, followed by Sub-Inspector at BS-14 with 60 posts, and Assistant Sub-Inspector at BS-11 with 24 posts. Seats are distributed according to provincial and regional quotas set by the Federal Government, covering Open Merit, ICT, Punjab, Sindh Rural, Sindh Urban, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, AJK, NA/FATA, and GB, with women and minority quotas also built into various regions and positions.
| Post | Scale | Vacancies | Education | Age Limit | Male Height | Female Height |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-Inspector (SI) | BS-14 | 60 | BA/BSc or equivalent from recognized university | 18-25 years | 5’7″ minimum | 5’2″ minimum |
| Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) | BS-11 | 24 | BA/BSc or equivalent from recognized university | 18-25 years | 5’7″ minimum | 5’2″ minimum |
| Constable | BS-07 | 1,540 | Matric or equivalent from recognized board | 18-25 years | 5’7″ minimum | 5’2″ minimum |
Sub-Inspector and Assistant Sub-Inspector candidates need a BA/BSc or equivalent qualification from a recognized university, while Constable candidates need Matric or an equivalent qualification from a recognized board. Age must fall between 18 and 25 years for all three posts, and the advertisement is explicit that no relaxation in age, height, or chest measurement will be granted to any candidate, meaning these thresholds are firm cutoffs rather than negotiable guidelines. Male candidates need a minimum height of 5 feet 7 inches and a chest measurement of 33 by 34 and a half inches, while female candidates need a minimum height of 5 feet 2 inches. All candidates must also pass an endurance test consisting of a one-mile run, completed within 7 minutes for male candidates and 10 minutes for female candidates.
Only candidates who qualify in the physical and endurance test, along with the computer-based or written test, will be called for an interview. Passing each stage is required to move forward to the next, and candidates who fail at any single stage are disqualified from further selection. Examination center details will be made available through the same application portal used for registration, so candidates should check it regularly after applying.
