PSSSB Clerk 2026 (Advt. 02/2026) — Eligibility, Punjabi Test, Scheme, Typing, Fees, Pay

Advertisement 02/2026 invites applications for Group-C Clerk posts against the demand letters the Board receives from Punjab government departments up to 30 September 2026, so the advertisement itself does not fix a number of posts. The merit list is valid only for demands received by that date. [1]
