Office Assistant Jobs in Islamabad – Position Overview

Virtual University of Pakistan is hiring 1 Office Assistant in pay scale J-VI, with Islamabad as the duty station.

This is a rare kind of opening in the public sector: an administrative post that asks only for Intermediate rather than a degree. Most government clerical vacancies now require at least a bachelor’s, so candidates with FA, FSc or an equivalent qualification and two years of office experience have a genuine chance here.

One requirement stated plainly in the advertisement that applicants often overlook: IT proficiency is a must. This is not a paper-filing role — the university runs its administration digitally, so comfort with computers is assessed rather than assumed.

Note also that the appointment is on an ad-hoc basis for a maximum of six months at market competitive salary, not a permanent government post.
