🎂 Age Limit (as on 1 January 2026)
Important: Age relaxation benefits are available only to Punjab domicile candidates in reserved categories. Candidates without valid Punjab domicile will be treated as General category for age purposes.
💳 PSSSB Recruitment 2026 – Application Fee
Note: Application fee varies slightly depending on the specific advertisement. Always check the fee details in the individual notification PDF for each post before paying.
💰 PSSSB Recruitment 2026 – Salary & Pay Scale
All selected candidates will be paid as per the 7th Pay Commission pay matrix. The pay scale varies based on the post level:
👮 Jail Warder / Matron
₹19,900 – ₹63,200
Pay Matrix Level 2
📋 Clerk (Group C)

💡 Additional Benefits: Along with basic pay, all selected candidates receive Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), Transport Allowance (TA), and other state government benefits as applicable. This increases the total take-home salary significantly.
🏆 PSSSB Recruitment 2026 – Selection Process
The selection process varies slightly by post, but generally follows these stages:
- 1Written Examination: An objective-type MCQ written test is conducted for most posts. For Clerk and Senior Assistant, it has 120 questions for 120 marks, divided into Part A (Punjabi – qualifying) and Part B (main subjects). Duration: 2 hours. No negative marking for Clerk; ¼ mark deducted for Senior Assistant and JE.
- 2Physical Test (Jail Warder & Matron only): Candidates applying for Warder and Matron posts must clear a physical fitness/endurance test after the written exam. Specific physical standards (height, weight, running) are mentioned in the official notification.
- 3Typing Test (Clerk & Senior Assistant only): Candidates who clear the written exam must pass a typing test at 30 Words Per Minute (WPM) in both English and Punjabi (Unicode Raavi font) on a computer. This test is qualifying in nature and does not add to your merit score.
- 4Document Verification / Counselling: Final shortlisted candidates are called for document verification with all original certificates. Missing or invalid documents can lead to disqualification.
- 5Final Merit List: The merit list for each post and category is prepared based on written exam marks (after clearing the physical/typing test). Higher marks = higher chance of selection. The merit list will be used to fill vacancies reported by Punjab Government departments.
Tie-Breaking Rule: If two candidates score equal marks, the one who is older in age gets priority. If still tied, the candidate with a higher percentage in the prescribed qualification is preferred, followed by higher Matric marks.
