Selection Process

The selection is entirely through a written examination in two parts. Part A is a qualifying Punjabi language paper where you need at least 50% marks to move forward. Part B is the merit-based section covering General Knowledge, Reasoning, English, Punjab History, and ICT. Once you clear the written test, you will be called for document verification and counselling.

Preparation Tips

1. Focus on Part A first -- since it is qualifying, make sure your Punjabi reading and writing skills are sharp enough to score at least 50%
2. Master General Knowledge and Current Affairs -- this section typically carries the highest weightage in Part B, so read daily newspapers and follow Punjab-specific developments
3. Practice Punjab History and Culture -- questions on Sikh Gurus, freedom fighters from Punjab, folk traditions, and important historical events frequently appear
4. Work on Logical Reasoning -- practice number series, coding-decoding, analogies, and direction-based problems daily
5. Mind the negative marking -- Part B deducts 0.25 marks for each wrong answer, so avoid random guessing
