KPK Prison Department Warder Jobs 2026 – Minority and Transgender Leftover Posts Across Four Regions
Mehkma Jail Khana Jaat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has announced leftover posts for Male Warder, Female Warder, and Transgender Warder positions at BPS-07 across four regional prison offices — Peshawar, Abbottabad, Mardan, and DI Khan. These are initial recruitment (ابتدائی بھرتی) posts specifically reserved for Minority and Transgender candidates who were not filled in the previous recruitment cycle. If you belong to a minority community or are a transgender individual with a KPK domicile, this is a dedicated government employment opportunity with a total of 131 seats available across all four regions. The last date to apply online at etea.edu.pk is 15 June 2026, and the fee must be paid by 01 June 2026 through Easy Paisa or UBL bank.
What makes this recruitment particularly significant is that these are permanent government posts in the KPK Civil Servants framework. Warder BPS-07 is a physically demanding role with strict height and chest requirements — minimum height 5 feet 7 inches and chest 33x34 inches for male candidates, 5 feet 1 inch for female candidates. The age limit is 18 to 30 years for both categories. All applications go through ETEA — Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency — and the entire process from registration to appointment is online-based. No manual applications are accepted. We have covered other KPK government opportunities, including CTU Gilgit Baltistan Police Jobs 2026 and Pakistan Rangers Jobs 2026 for comparison.

Region-wise Seat Breakdown
Seats are distributed across four regional prison offices. Your domicile district determines which regional office you apply to. Here is the complete breakdown:
| # | Post | Peshawar | Abbottabad | Mardan | DI Khan | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Warder (Minority Male) | 2 | 37 | 19 | 55 | 113 |
| 2 | Warder (Minority Female) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | Warder (Transgender) | 3 | 4 | 3 | 6 | 16 |
| Regional Total | 5 | 41 | 22 | 63 | 131 | |
The regional prison offices cover specific districts. Peshawar Regional Prison covers Peshawar, Nowshera, Charsadda, and Kohat areas. Abbottabad covers Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Battagram, and Kohistan, among others. Mardan covers Mardan, Malakand, Swabi, and Mohmand Sowal areas. DI Khan covers Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, Bannu, Waziristan, North, South, Lakki Marwat, Karak, and Bhanu Dawar Kuram. Match your domicile district to the correct regional office before applying.
Education and Physical Standards
This is where many candidates get eliminated before the written test even begins. Read the physical requirements carefully and be honest with yourself about whether you meet them before investing time in the application.
Educational Qualification — Male and Female Warder: Minimum Matric (Secondary School Certificate) with at least second division from a recognized board. This applies to both male minority and female minority candidates.
Physical Standards — Male Warder: Minimum height 5 feet 7 inches. Chest measurement 33 inches, normal expanding to 34 inches. Additional requirement of 33x34-½ inches chest with 2-½ inch expansion. All male candidates must be physically fit with no medical conditions that affect duty performance. Being a local area candidate is preferred for each regional office.
Physical Standards — Female Warder: Minimum height 5 feet 1 inch. Physical fitness required. Female candidates must also meet the medical fitness criteria assessed during the selection process. Note that Minority Female Warder seats are only 2 total — both in DI Khan region — making this the most competitive category by volume.
Physical Standards — Transgender Warder: Minimum height 5 feet and 1 inch. The same Matric qualification requirement applies. 16 seats across all four regions, making this a meaningful opportunity for transgender candidates in KPK.
Two Important Notes for All Categories: First, local area candidates of the relevant regional prison office will be given preference. If your domicile is in one of the districts covered by your applied regional office, you have an advantage. Second, candidates who have two or more government employees in their immediate family are not eligible to apply — check the terms carefully if this applies to you.

Why These 131 Seats Matter
Leftover posts in government recruitment do not come around often. These 131 Warder seats specifically reserved for minority and transgender candidates in KPK represent a genuine, dedicated pathway into permanent government employment — not a token gesture. BPS-07 with full government service benefits, job security, and a career progression ladder within the prison service is a meaningful opportunity for communities that are often underrepresented in government employment.
The process is entirely online through ETEA, which is transparent and merit-based. If you qualify on the physical standards, hold a Matric certificate, have a KPK domicile from the relevant region, and belong to a minority community or are a transgender individual, apply before the fee deadline of 01 June 2026. Do not miss the fee payment date — that is the step that closes first. For more KPK and government job updates, keep visiting jobalertspakistan.com.
