PSSSB JE Civil Mechanical Electrical Recruitment 2026

PSSSB Junior Engineer Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board (PSSSB) has re-opened online applications for its Junior Engineer (Civil, Mechanical and Electrical) Group-B recruitment under Advertisement No. 07/2026. The first application window ran in March and April 2026; this fresh window follows an interim order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a writ petition filed by a candidate. If you could not apply the first time, this is your second chance.

The posts are for various Government of Punjab departments. PSSSB is filling them against requisitions departments send in up to 30 September 2026, which is why the advertisement does not fix a vacancy count. The jobs suit diploma holders in Civil, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering who passed Punjabi at matriculation level.

Posts and Disciplines

• Junior Engineer (Civil): for candidates with a three-year diploma in Civil Engineering, or a higher qualification in the same discipline.
• Junior Engineer (Mechanical): for candidates with a three-year diploma in Mechanical Engineering, or a higher qualification in the same discipline.
• Junior Engineer (Electrical): for candidates with a three-year diploma in Electrical Engineering, or a higher qualification in the same discipline.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Punjabi at matric level: Under Rule 17 of the Punjab Civil Services (General and Common Conditions of Service) Rules, 1994, you must have passed Matriculation with Punjabi as a subject, or an equivalent Punjabi exam.
• Reservation for Punjab residents only: Reserved-category benefits go only to residents of Punjab. You must show a recent domicile/residence certificate that is not more than five years old at counselling.
• Category code is final: Pick your category and its category code carefully in the online form. PSSSB will not change it at any later stage.
• Depends on requisitions: If no department sends a requisition for a category by 30 September 2026, candidates of that category cannot claim a post on the strength of their written-exam marks.
• Ex-servicemen quota: ESM posts go first to ex-servicemen themselves; dependants are considered only when no ex-serviceman is available.
• Sportsperson quota: Group-B sports posts need a medal at the Senior National Championship or National Games while representing Punjab, or a podium finish at a recognised international meet.

Application Submission Notes
