Hajj 2027 Khuddam-ul-Hujjaj Recruitment via OTS – Ministry of Religious Affairs

Khuddam ul Hujjaj 2027 recruitment has been opened by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony (MORA) through the Open Testing Service under project MORA2026A, published on 13 August 2026. This is a seasonal Hajj duty assignment for serving government employees, offered in two streams: Supervisory Staff for officers in BS-17 to BS-18 and Field/Support Staff for employees in BS-07 to BS-16. Selected employees perform duties with Pakistani pilgrims during Hajj 2027 in Saudi Arabia. The last date to apply online through the OTS portal is 27 August 2026.

Every year the Ministry of Religious Affairs deputes a temporary workforce, known as Khuddam-ul-Hujjaj (assistants of the pilgrims), to serve Pakistani hujjaj during the Hajj season under the government Hajj scheme. These staff members work in Makkah, Madinah and the Mashair (Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat) in areas such as accommodation, transport, food, guidance, medical support and general facilitation of pilgrims. Selection is made from among serving government employees through a transparent process, which now runs through the Open Testing Service.

For Hajj 2027, the recruitment is structured in two streams. The Supervisory Staff stream is for serving officers of BS-17 and BS-18 who can lead teams and manage sectors of pilgrims. The Field/Support Staff stream is for serving employees from BS-07 to BS-16 who carry out day-to-day duties with the pilgrims. Applicants choose their stream and category in the OTS online form, and the ministry has made clear that a submitted category selection is final and may not be changeable later, so employees should decide carefully before submitting.
