Punjab Exam & Career Cockpit

2 recruitment nodes ·1 admission nodes ·Every fact linked to an official file

Every major Punjab recruitment and admission route we could verify on one screen: the Punjab State Civil Services Combined Competitive Examination of the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC), the Clerk recruitment of the Subordinate Services Selection Board (PSSSB), and the centralised B.Tech counselling that IKGPTU runs for the Punjab Government. Each page is built only from the official advertisement or notification, and every fact links back to that file.

Punjab has one rule that catches outsiders: no one can be appointed to a state post by direct recruitment unless they passed Matriculation with Punjabi as a subject, and Group-C recruits must also clear a Matric-level Punjabi test with 50%. Reservation is only for residents of Punjab with a recent residence certificate. Punjab B.Tech seats are filled on Class 12 marks, not on an entrance test.
