From OTS website, Download that application form which you have filled online. With that application you'll find the fee transcript.

Seniors please comment here what will be proper way to communicate with them regarding this issue.

Even if you do communicate, nothing will happen

Secondly, if you want to raise your voice in this regard for a permanent solution, write a letter to Establishment Division!

Good Luck

Guys this really is very good opportunity. I have the experience of working in Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I was selected in the previous batch and worked for a year and left the MOFA only when I was selected as Assistant director Anti-Corruption.

MOFA has very good working environment. You would be working with decent officers of FSP group , well groomed and well mannered. The working environment is good for women also. All of you would have prospects of getting posting abroad also. Particularly the Cypher Assistants & Assistants get immense opportunities of posting abroad in our High Commissions , Embassies & Consulates. The others also get the chance. But still the Cypher Assistant has even more chances of posting abroad then any other , better then Accountants even (Assistants turned Accountant ) .

Those friends who were got selected with me last year , are now posted in Rome , Paris , Pyongyang etc. Though few are still working in MOFA Islamabad. Assistants those who appear in the training of Accountants and get qualify the test of accountant they get frequent foreign postings. This training is conducted for those who get selected in MOFA as Assistants. Where an Assistant earns round 30,000 Rupees in Pakistan , when posted abroad gets round 2 Lak Rupees and medical and residence from the government. Same is the case with Cypher Assistant .

As well as the test is concerned , it is usually easier then PPSC or FPSC tests. I scored 81 last year while the topper had 86 and the second highest score was 83 and then was my 81. We all were from Punjab province where none from other provinces crossed 80 even.

The selection was almost solely carried out on the basis of written test which last year was conducted by NTS. While the interview which was conducted by MOFA itself was no more then formality . That's why focus on securing as much score in test as much you can to ensure your selection.

A very important thing about these hiring is that MOFA ensures merit. So , those who would perform better in written , their effort wont go waste . Rather it would be rewarded with selection. Working in MOFA would be the best experience and better then working in same grade or in the same cadre in any other organization , institution or department.
That's why I wish you very best of luck. If you people got selected , it would prove to be great place for grooming and a strong launching pad for future endeavors.

Members are requested to please guide me in the light of above mentioned scenario that I should apply or not.

The salary of Cypher Assistant would be no less then 27 to 28 Thousand. Medical facility is provided by MOFA both during stay in Pakistan and on posting abroad. The salary on posting reaches near Rupees 2 Lak and you may take your wife , children and mother with you . And I believe education of 2 kids also is sponsored by MOFA while one is on posting abroad. In the light of the above , one should not hesitate applying .
I was selected Assistant Director Anti Corruption which is considered a powerful job in grade 17. But still few suggested me not to leave MOFA as Assistant as I could earn more in MOFA .

Last time NTS conducted the test and whole of the test consisted of MCQs only . Expect the same this year also although OTS is conducting the test this time.

Secondly there is no promotion in cypher life. third the salary is same as assistant starting around 13 and half thousand basic salary to onward.

While in MOFA in Pakistan you have to work 2 days in morning from 8 am to 2 pm . Next two days in evening from 2 pm to 10 pm and in next two days in night from 10 pm to 8 am morning. But the job is not that hectic. A good number of people are on duty and share the responsibility. But when you are posting abroad the working is very less except for few busy stations of the like of USA , China etc. secondly , now a days the cypher assistants are trying for their grade revision also . And are negotiating with MOFA Authorities. I have seen everyone working in staff cadre till BS 16 looking at Cypher Assistants with envy.
