  • This educational qualification condition does not apply to: (i) blind persons; (ii) riot/terrorist-affected persons; (iii) persons appointed as Sweeper
  • Separately, all candidates must pass a qualifying Punjabi Language test equivalent to Matriculation standard with a minimum of 50% marks – this is mandatory and qualifying in nature; failing to secure 50% in this test disqualifies the candidate from the final merit list regardless of their score in other papers

उम्मीदवारों को मैट्रिक उत्तीर्ण होना चाहिए जिसमें पंजाबी विषय शामिल हो, लेकिन कुछ विशेष श्रेणियों जैसे अंधे, दंगाई प्रभावित, और स्वच्छता कर्मचारी के लिए यह शर्त लागू नहीं होती। इसके अलावा, पंजाबी भाषा की एक अलग योग्यता परीक्षा में कम से कम 50% अंक लाना अनिवार्य है।

PSSSB Group-D Salary

Selected candidates will draw pay in the scale of ₹18,000–56,900 (Level-1, as per 7th Pay Commission).

PSSSB Group-D Selection Process

  • Selection is through an Objective-type (Multiple Choice Questions) written examination, in two parts:
  • Part A: Matriculation-standard Punjabi language paper – qualifying in nature only; candidates must score a minimum of 50% to qualify
  • Part B: Determines the merit list; each question carries 1 mark, with negative marking of 1/4 mark for each wrong answer
  • The Common Merit List is prepared based solely on Part-B marks
  • In case of a tie in Part-B marks, the candidate with the earlier date of birth (older in age) ranks higher; if age is also equal, the candidate with a higher percentage in the required educational qualification ranks higher
  • Candidates are shortlisted from the merit list for document verification/counseling; the number called is decided by the Board
  • Successful candidates at counseling are recommended to the respective department as per the Common Merit List and category-wise post availability
  • Admit cards are issued only online via the Board’s website; the exam pattern/syllabus is also uploaded there
  • Qualifying in the exam, appearing for counseling, or featuring in the merit list does not by itself guarantee recommendation for a post – eligibility must be proven with documents

चयन प्रक्रिया में दो भागों में लिखित परीक्षा शामिल है, जिसमें पंजाबी भाषा परीक्षा क्वालीफाइंग है और दूसरा भाग मेरिट तय करता है। मेरिट सूची में अंक बराबर होने पर उम्र और शैक्षिक योग्यता को प्राथमिकता दी जाती है। दस्तावेज सत्यापन के बाद ही उम्मीदवारों को पदों के लिए अनुशंसित किया जाएगा।
