Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI)	BS-11	38	Intermediate
Constable	BS-07	750	Matric

Almost all the seats are at Constable level, which is why this advertisement matters most for Matric pass candidates. The two Sub-Inspector seats are the most competitive in the whole advertisement, while the 38 ASI seats suit Intermediate pass candidates who want a faster route to a supervisory rank.

Who Can Apply: Eligibility for Dolphin Force Jobs

Education is fixed by post, as the table above shows, and there is no relaxation in the education requirement. The age limit is 18 to 25 years, with the standard 5 years general age relaxation added on top, so most candidates up to 30 can apply if they meet the education level for the post. Men and women are both eligible. Candidates from every province and region can apply against their provincial and regional quota seats, and the domicile of the quota you claim decides which merit list you appear on. Your CNIC record must match your application details exactly, because the testing portal verifies against your CNIC number.

How to Apply Online for Dolphin Force Jobs at npftas.pk

1. Open npftas.pk and create your account with your CNIC number and a mobile number that stays active, because test messages come by SMS.
2. Choose your post carefully, Sub-Inspector, ASI or Constable, according to your education. You cannot change the post after submission.
3. Fill the form in full: personal details exactly as they appear on your CNIC, then your education record.
4. Review everything once before submitting, especially your CNIC number, date of birth and education entries.
5. Submit the application before 15 November 2026 and keep your application or roll reference safe.
6. Watch the same portal for the roll number slip and test schedule after the closing date.

There is no paper form for this recruitment and the Islamabad Police has not authorised any agent or shop to submit applications. Anyone charging you a fee to “get the form submitted” is running a side business, not an official channel.

What Happens After You Apply

After 15 November, applications are screened and eligible candidates are called for the written test through the portal, with roll number slips issued on the same website. Physical measurement and further stages follow for successful candidates, and the final merit is prepared post by post and quota by quota. Keep your registered mobile number active and check npftas.pk regularly, because a missed test date is not rescheduled for individual candidates. Dates for each stage are announced on the portal and on the Islamabad Police website, islamabadpolice.gov.pk.

Mistakes That Get Dolphin Force Applications Rejected

• Applying for a post above your education, for example ASI with only Matric. The screening is automatic.
• A CNIC number or date of birth that does not match your NADRA record.
• Waiting for the last day, when the portal slows down under load every cycle.
• Sending a paper application or paying an agent; this recruitment is online only.
• Missing the test SMS because the registered SIM was switched off or changed.

Before you start the form, keep your CNIC, domicile, education certificates and a recent photograph ready, so the application can be completed in one sitting without searching for documents at the last minute.

Quota Seats and the Merit List: How 790 Posts Are Filled

These 790 posts are federal posts, so they are distributed under the government’s provincial and regional quota system. That means your competition is not all of Pakistan at once: your written test score places you on the merit list of the province or region whose domicile you hold, and seats are filled from that list post by post. A Constable candidate from a smaller quota region can therefore make the merit with a lower score than a candidate from a heavily subscribed region, which is why applying on the correct domicile matters more than anything else in this recruitment. If your domicile is from the area you actually belong to, you are in the right pool; if it is not, fix that first, because the domicile on your CNIC record is what the quota follows.

Why Applying Early in the Window Matters

In every Islamabad Police cycle, the testing portal carries its heaviest load in the last 48 hours before the closing date, and candidates who leave the form to the final evening are the ones who meet slow pages and failed submissions. Applying in the first half of the window also leaves you time to correct a mistake: if your CNIC number or education entry is rejected at submission, you can fix the record and apply again while the window is still open. Once 15 November passes, the portal closes the advertisement and no correction or late application is accepted from anyone, whatever the reason.
