Islamabad Capital Territory Police (ICT), operating under the Ministry of Interior & Narcotics Control, has announced one of the largest federal police recruitment drives of 2026. A total of 1,588 Executive Staff vacancies have been opened across four categories — ASI (BPS-11), Constable General Cadre (BPS-07), Constable Band Staff, and Constable Mounted Police — for eligible Pakistani male and female candidates. Applications must be submitted online only through www.npftas.pk or www.islamabadpolice.gov.pk within 15 days of the advertisement’s publication. The age cut-off date is 08 July 2026.
What separates this recruitment from a typical police job announcement is the detail in its quota structure. Vacancies are distributed across Open Merit, ICT, Punjab, Sindh Urban, Sindh Rural, KPK, Balochistan, NA/FATA, AJK, and GB quotas — plus separate allocations for Women and Minorities. This means candidates from every province and territory have a specific, defined seat available rather than competing in a single open pool.
This is also worth noting for candidates who applied in ICT Police’s 2024 recruitment cycle and reached the interview stage but weren’t selected. Per an Islamabad High Court order dated 16 March 2026, those candidates are eligible for age relaxation up to 26 years, 11 months, and 07 days — which means a previous unsuccessful attempt doesn’t automatically close the door this time around, provided all other eligibility conditions are met.

What Working in ICT Police Actually Involves
ICT Police is the primary law enforcement body responsible for Islamabad — Pakistan’s federal capital. Unlike provincial police forces that operate under their respective Home Departments, ICT Police works directly under the federal Ministry of Interior. That distinction matters for career trajectory: promotions, postings, and departmental decisions are handled at the federal level rather than provincial.
Executive Staff positions here are operational roles — field-based, physically demanding, and directly public-facing. ASI positions carry supervisory responsibility over constables and represent the first officer-grade rung of the uniformed career ladder. Constable General Cadre is the main entry point into uniformed policing in Islamabad, with constables handling patrol duties, crowd management, checkpoint operations, and first-response functions.
Band Staff and Mounted Police are smaller, specialized cadres. Band Staff requires musical instrument expertise — this is a genuine skill requirement, not a formality. Mounted Police work with horses in ceremonial and operational capacities and need working knowledge of equestrian care and handling.
One thing worth knowing practically: ICT Police’s recruitment process is managed through NPF TAS (National Police Foundation Talent Acquisition System), which is a digitized, centralized testing and selection platform. This means merit lists, shortlisting notifications, and results are all accessible online through your application account — candidates don’t need to rely on newspaper notices or phone calls to track their status.

Age Relaxation — Important Detail
Candidates who qualified for the interview stage in ICT Police Recruitment 2024 are eligible for age relaxation up to 26 years, 11 months, and 07 days, per Islamabad High Court order dated 16.03.2026 (W.P. No. 2242/2024). This relaxation applies to ICT-quota candidates only — not across all quotas.
How to Apply
- Visit www.npftas.pk or www.islamabadpolice.gov.pk
- Register an account using your CNIC and a valid email address
- Select the position and quota you’re applying under
- Fill in personal, academic, and contact details accurately
- Pay the application fee of Rs. 200/- per post through 1Link, Bank ATM, Internet Banking, EasyPaisa, JazzCash, UPaisa, or TimePay — using the 24-digit PSID generated on the portal
- If applying for more than one post, pay a separate fee for each post
- Submit before the deadline — 08 July 2026
- Track your application status, merit list, and test schedule through your NPF TAS portal account
Applications submitted by hand, courier, or any other offline channel will not be entertained.
How to Prepare
- Physical endurance test is non-negotiable for all Executive Staff positions. The standard is 1 mile completed in 07 minutes for male candidates and 10 minutes for female candidates. If you haven’t been training consistently, start at least four to six weeks out — showing up undertrained is the most common reason shortlisted candidates fail at this stage.
- Height and chest standards are checked at the time of interview and are strictly enforced. No relaxation in height or chest measurements will be given to any candidate under any circumstances, per the official advertisement.
- Computer-based test covers general knowledge, logical reasoning, and basic aptitude. Reviewing current affairs specific to Islamabad, federal government structure, and Pakistan’s law enforcement framework helps more than generic test prep material.
- For Band Staff applicants — musical instrument proficiency will be assessed directly. This is one of the few police recruitment categories where a specialized skill is tested rather than just physical fitness and general knowledge.
Selection Process
| Stage | What Happens |
| Online Application | Submitted through npftas.pk within the deadline |

| Medical Examination | Federal Government Civil Surgeon or District Hospital |

Candidates failing any single stage are disqualified from proceeding further. A candidate who fails the physical or computer-based test cannot be called for interview regardless of other qualifications.
