General Requirements
- Date Conflict — Read This First: This article uses 2 November 2026, the closing date shown on the National Jobs Portal listings for both posts. Newspaper-based summaries calculate different dates from the advertisement’s 15-day window — 4 November 2026 from a 20 October publication, and 8 November 2026 from a 24 October publication. Apply by 2 November 2026, the earliest date, and confirm the listing on the portal.
- Chief Statistician Excluded: A third post in the same ministry round, Chief Statistician (SPPS-II), is NOT included in this article because its portal listing had already closed at about 25 October 2026.
- Vacancy Note: The National Jobs Portal lists 1 vacancy for each post. A newspaper-based summary states that the advertisement does not mention the exact number of vacancies, so readers should check the portal listing.
- Salary: The advertisement does not mention a salary package figure.
- Fee: No application fee is stated in the advertisement summaries checked.
- Portal Profile: Applicants need a completed National Jobs Portal profile with degrees and experience records.
How to Apply Online

- Open the National Jobs Portal and find the Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives listing for your post.
- Complete your portal profile and submit the online application.
- Submit the application before 2 November 2026.
