Introduction to Applying for FBR Jobs
Hi Friends! My name is Ahmad Shakeel, and I have been guiding people in Pakistan’s job market for the last 5 years. I have personally helped thousands of people apply through the National Job Portal, so I know very well that all this seems a bit confusing in the beginning. Today I will tell you step-by-step in a simple way how to apply for FBR jobs through NJP – exactly like I am explaining to my best friend while sitting on the tea.
What is the National Job Portal (NJP)?
NJP i.e. National Job Portal (www.njp.gov.pk) is the official government job website of Pakistan. Understand it as a gate from where you can access thousands of government jobs – like good jobs of FBR (Federal Board of Revenue). This is not an ordinary job site, it can take you towards a strong government job and a good future.
I remember when I used NJP for the first time in 2019, I was also doubtful whether online application works or not. But the truth is that now all the jobs of FBR are available only through this portal. Now there is no other way to apply.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an NJP Account
If you are creating an account for the first time, then follow these steps:
Step 1: Visit the NJP Website
Go to the browser and write www.njp.gov.pk
You will find a “Sign Up” or “Register” button on the right corner — click on it
Pro Tip: Use Chrome or Firefox browser, it will work best
Step 2: Fill the Registration Form
As soon as you click on “Sign Up”, a form will open in which you will have to fill these things:
- Account Type: Select “Candidate”
- CNIC Number: Write your 13-digit CNIC number (with dashes)
- Email Address: Give a valid email, updates here will come
- Password: Create a strong password of at least 10 characters
- Confirm Password: Write the same password again
Step 3: Verify Your Email
After registering, you will receive an email from NJP in your email inbox (check spam folder too) – it is important to click on the link given in it. Until this step is not completed, login will not happen.
How to Log in to Your NJP Account
If you already have an account, then how to login:
- Write your CNIC (with dashes)
- Write your registered email
- Write your password
- Click on “Sign In”
If you have forgotten your password, click on “Reset Password”, send the email and follow the instructions.
Completing Your CV Manager Profile
People make the most mistakes here. Your CV should be at least 65% complete otherwise you cannot apply for the job. I have seen many people whose form was rejected just because of taking this step lightly.
Personal Info Section
- Write your full name (like CNIC)
- Mobile number, address, date of birth, gender, marital status — pay attention to everything
Education Section
For every degree/certificate:
- Institution name
- Board or University
- Passing year
- Marks or CGPA
- Upload scanned documents in PDF format (less than 5MB in size)
Experience Section
For FBR type jobs, it is very important to add relevant experience. Like:
- Law Enforcement
- Revenue or Taxation
- Admin Services
- Security Services
Let me give you a real example – when I made my friend Bilal apply for FBR Sepoy, his form was rejected at first because he had not added the “Law Enforcement” field. When he added it, he became eligible immediately.
How to Find and Apply for FBR Jobs on NJP
When the profile is complete:
- Write “FBR” or “Federal Board of Revenue” in the search bar
- Find FBR in the Departments section
- Turn on Job alerts to get updates on new jobs
Understand FBR Job Requirements
FBR mostly provides these jobs:
- Sepoy (BPS-5): Matric is required, height/chest criteria is there
- Sub-Inspector (BPS-14): Bachelor degree is required
- LDC: Matric + typing skills are required
- UDC: Intermediate qualification is required
Age limit is mostly 18-30 years in most jobs, for some people there is also a relaxation of 5 years
Steps to Apply for FBR Jobs
When you like any job:
- Read the full ad carefully – check eligibility, age limit, documents
- Click on “Apply Online”
- Fill the form – fill all the information correctly
- Upload documents and photo
- Check everything again before submitting
Important Note: FBR jobs through NJP are mostly free. If any website asks for application fee, be careful – it could be a fraud.
Uploading Documents for FBR Jobs
When you are applying for FBR job at NJP, uploading documents is an important step. From my experience, I am telling you what things you generally need to upload and what mistakes you should avoid.
Required Documents
- Educational certificates should be scanned in PDF format.
- A clear scanned copy of CNIC is required.
- A recent passport-size photo is required — in JPEG or PNG format and less than 1MB in size.
- Domicile certificate is also required, especially if you are applying in local quota.
Tips for Uploading Documents
- The size of PDFs should be less than 5MB, images should be less than 1MB.
- Use only PDF format for certificates, and JPEG or PNG for photos.
- Documents should not be blurred or unreadable – they should be scanned clearly.
- Keep the name of the file proper like “Matric_Certificate.pdf” so that there is no confusion later.
How to Check Your FBR Job Application Status
After submitting the form, login to NJP.
- Click on “My Applications” in the left side menu.
- The status will be visible there along with the color codes:
- Green means active.
- Red means rejected.
- Grey means still under review.
Tip: Keep checking the status every day, FBR process is fast, don’t miss the update.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for FBR Jobs
Profile Mistakes
- CV is not complete till 65%.
- Do not show job-related fields in Experience section.
- Write old email or phone number which is of no use.
Application Mistakes
- Spelling mistakes in name, father name, address.
- Upload wrong or poor-quality documents.
- Apply on the last day when the servers are busy.
- Apply repeatedly for the same post – NJP does not allow.
Technical Problems
- Use old browser.
- Internet is weak while applying.
- Browser cache is not cleared and errors keep coming.
A real story came to my mind – last year my friend Sarah was applying but was getting error every time while signing up. The problem was that she was using the old email whose password she did not remember. When she created a new Gmail, everything became smooth.
Recovering Forgotten NJP Login Information
If You Forgot Your Password
- Go to the login page.
- Click on “Forgot Password”.
- Write the email and follow the reset instructions.
- Set a new password.
If You Forgot Your Email or CNIC
- Search NJP emails in
your email inbox.
- Check your browser’s saved passwords.
- If nothing works, contact NJP support.
Setting Up FBR Job Alerts on NJP
There is no need to check manually every day.
- Login to your NJP account.
- Go to profile settings and turn on job notifications.

This way you will get to know about new FBR jobs immediately.
