Pakistan Customs Jobs 2026: Sepoy Height, Test, Salary [100%] Guide
Hey friends,
I have spent more than 10 years helping young people get government jobs in Pakistan. Many boys and girls come to me worried about uniform jobs. They ask the same questions again and again about Pakistan Customs Sepoy post.
Today I am writing this complete guide for you. I will tell you everything in very simple words. No complicated language. Just like I am talking to my younger brother over tea.
In 2026, Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) announced many Sepoy (BPS-5) posts in Pakistan Customs. These jobs are good for those who have only Matric. Both males and females can apply.
What is Sepoy Job in Pakistan Customs?
Sepoy is a uniformed post in Customs Enforcement. You work as security and help stop smuggling. You check goods at borders, ports, airports and check posts.
The job gives you respect in society. You wear uniform. You get monthly salary plus allowances. Many families feel proud when their son or daughter joins Customs.
In my experience, most candidates like this job because it does not need higher education. Matric pass is enough. But physical fitness is very important.
Sepoy Height Requirement – Must Know This First

Height is the first thing they check. If you do not meet the minimum height, your application stops there.
For male candidates: Minimum height is 5 feet 6 inches. Chest measurement is 32 inches normal and 33.5 inches with expansion.
For female candidates: Minimum height is 5 feet 2 inches. No chest measurement for females.
I have seen hundreds of candidates rejected only because of height. Please measure your height today with proper scale. Stand straight against the wall and mark it.
If your height is even 1 inch less, do not waste time applying. Focus on other jobs instead.
Why Height Matters So Much
Customs work needs physical strength. You have to stand long hours. You may need to chase smugglers sometimes. Height and chest show basic fitness.
Recruitment committee measures height and chest on the spot. They use official scale. No excuses allowed.
Most people make this mistake – they think height will be ignored. It never is. Check it before filling the form.
Physical Test for Pakistan Customs Sepoy 2026
Physical test is the biggest hurdle for most candidates. They check height, chest and running.
Male candidates have to run 1 kilometer in 7 minutes. Female candidates have to run 1 kilometer in 10 minutes.
They may also ask for push-ups, sit-ups or chin-ups. The committee decides what tests to take on the day.
I always tell my students – start practice early. Do not wait for the call letter.
Running Test Preparation Tips
Start running daily in the morning. First week run slow. Then increase speed gradually.
Wear comfortable shoes. Run on track if possible. Practice with friends who are also preparing.
In my 10 years, I saw many fit looking boys fail running because they never practiced properly.

Pro Tip: Run early morning when air is fresh. Drink water but not too much before running.
