Application Methodology and What to Do Next
Following the formal budgetary greenlight from the Ministry of Interior, the ICT Police establishment will imminently publish its detailed advertisement via mainstream media and their official web portal.
Because this is a federal force recruitment drive, structural quotas will be allocated for all provinces—including Punjab, Sindh (Urban/Rural), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir—alongside distinct reservations for minorities and women. Once active, the online application link and registration steps will be hosted entirely on the Official Islamabad Police Portal.
