Last Date to Apply: 15 October 2026
800 vacancies, three job titles, one province — Rescue 1122 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has opened up hiring for Emergency Medical Technician, Fire Rescuer, and Driver posts, open to anyone willing to work in any district across KPK. Only Pakistani citizens holding a KPK domicile can apply here, and the ad specifically calls on female and minority candidates to step forward too. This is genuinely one of the bigger emergency services recruitment rounds the province has seen this year — and because of that scale, the eligibility details actually shift quite a bit depending on which post you’re going for.

Available Vacancies
1. Emergency Medical Technician – BPS-12
Number of Posts: 350
Qualification: You’ll need a Paramedical Diploma, Nursing qualification, or LHV. And if you happen to hold a Diploma in Health Technology or Surgical Technology, that actually puts you ahead of candidates with just a general paramedical background.
Age Limit: 22 to 35 years
This is by far the biggest category in the whole advertisement, and the quota split actually reflects that — 18 seats reserved under the Minority Quota, 35 under the Women Quota, plus the usual Merit and zone-wise allocations on top of that. So if you’re still figuring out which post fits your background, this is honestly the one with the most room to get in.
2. Fire Rescuer – BPS-11
Number of Posts: 175
Qualification: F.Sc (Pre-Engineering) with a Diploma in Associate Engineering (DAE)
Age Limit: 22 to 35 years
Same setup as the EMT post — Merit, zone-wise, Minority Quota, and Women Quota allocations all apply here too. The only real difference is the numbers are smaller, since this post has a lower total seat count overall.
3. Drivers – BPS-06
Number of Posts: 275
Qualification: Middle
Age Limit: 22 to 35 years
This category has one requirement that’s easy to overlook: candidates need a valid HTV/LTV driving licence issued by the Government of Pakistan. Fresh apply tokens for a driving licence won’t be accepted — meaning if you’ve only just applied for your licence and haven’t received the actual document, you don’t qualify yet. That’s a distinction worth checking carefully before assuming you meet this post’s requirement.
Selection Process
Candidates are initially allowed to take part in the physical or screening test on a provisional basis, with detailed document scrutiny carried out afterward by the appointing authority — so clearing the test doesn’t automatically confirm your eligibility until your documents are verified.
For posts from BPS-01 to BPS-16, a minimum of 40% marks is required to pass the screening or written test. From there, final selection is based on a fixed weightage system:
- Educational Criteria: 70 marks
- ETEA Test: 20 marks
- Interview: 10 marks
ETEA may also run additional ability or skill tests where relevant — a practical driving test for Driver applicants, for instance, given the licence requirement tied to that post.
How to Apply
Applications for this round are submitted online, and there’s no separate form to download or mail in — everything runs through the official channels. Detailed zone-wise information and the recruitment schedule are available through the ETEA website and the official Rescue 1122 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa website.
Since three different posts are open at once, each with its own qualification line and quota structure, it’s worth reading the specific section of the advertisement tied to the post you’re applying for before starting your online application, rather than working off a general summary. A candidate applying for Fire Rescuer, for example, needs their F.Sc and DAE documentation ready and correctly matched, while an EMT applicant needs their paramedical or nursing credentials in order instead.
Follow the step-by-step online application instructions exactly as laid out on the ETEA portal, and keep your submission confirmation once it goes through — with 800 vacancies split across three posts and multiple quota categories, having a clear record of when and how you applied is worth holding onto through the screening and interview stages.
