PSSSB Group D Exam 2026: Overview

Candidates can find the relevant details about the PSSSB Group D examination in the table below: 

The advertisement does not fix the number of posts. It invites applications against probable vacancies for which departments send requisitions to the board up to 30.09.2026, and the merit list stays valid only for those requisitions. Figures of a fixed post count doing the rounds online do not come from the advertisement.

Why the Hall Ticket Matters

The PSSSB Group D Admit Card is an essential document for every candidate appearing in the written examination; nobody is allowed in without it. The board issues admit cards only online, through its own website. The link sits in the Group D listing under the Recruitment menu on sssb.punjab.gov.in and also runs among the latest notices on the homepage.

Use only that link. It takes you to the login page on gndu.ac.in, which GNDU runs for the board. After downloading the hall ticket, check your name, application details, exam date and examination centre to make sure everything is correct.

PSSSB Group D Exam Date 2026

The PSSSB Group D written exam will be held on Sunday, 25 October 2026. Candidates should start revising the basics now and plan their travel to the allotted exam centre a day in advance, especially if the centre is in another district.

Getting here took most of the year. The advertisement came out on 24 February 2026, and the first online window ran from 27 February to 20 March. The board reopened applications from 25 August to 4 September, later extending the last date to 14 September, and kept a correction portal open from 24 to 27 September 2026.

The exam is being held under Advertisement No. 04 of 2026 for Group-D posts in Punjab government departments. Read the instructions printed on the admit card, including the reporting time and the address of the examination centre.

In case of any changes in the examination schedule, the candidates should refer to the latest official notification issued by PSSSB and not to any unofficial websites.

PSSSB Group D Exam Pattern 2026

The PSSSB Group D exam pattern comes from the board’s “Plan of Written Examination” for Advertisement No. 04 of 2026. The paper has two parts: Part A, a qualifying test in Punjabi, and Part B, which decides the merit.

The details of both parts are given below.

In all, candidates answer 150 multiple-choice questions on an OMR sheet in 2 hours 30 minutes. Part B is evaluated only for those who score at least 25 out of 50 in Part A, and the merit list is prepared on Part B marks alone. When two or more candidates tie, the older candidate is placed higher; if the age is also the same, the one with higher marks in the required educational qualification goes ahead.

Candidates are then called for document verification and counselling in order of merit; the board decides how many are called. Those who clear counselling are recommended to departments as per the common merit list.
