Additionally, Clerk candidates must clear a typing test of 30 words per minute in both English and Punjabi (Raavi font). The cut‑off date for qualifications is the last date of application, 19 October 2026.

Last date to apply and pay fee | 19 October 2026 |
Age reckoned as on | 1 January 2026 |
Written exam date | To be announced on the Board’s website |
The selection consists of three stages: a written examination, a typing test (for Clerk posts), and counselling. Part‑A of the written exam is qualifying only, while Part‑B determines merit. There is negative marking in Part‑B (¼ mark deduction per wrong answer). Below are the detailed steps.
Objective MCQ in two parts – Part‑A (qualifying) and Part‑B (merit).
Part‑A – Matric‑level Punjabi paper
Qualifying marks: minimum 50%.
Part‑B – General Aptitude / Concerned discipline
1 mark per question, ¼ mark deduction for wrong answer.
Prescribed for all Clerk posts only.
Speed: 30 words per minute in both English and Punjabi (Raavi font).
Qualifying nature – candidates must clear this test to be considered further.
Common Merit List – compiled from Part‑B marks of typing‑qualified candidates.
Counselling – document verification is done at counselling centres. Candidates must bring original certificates and category/domicile certificates.
In case of a tie in marks, the older candidate is given preference, then higher percentage in the required qualification, then higher Matric marks. Clerk (Legal) and Clerk (IT) candidates will indicate their department preferences later during counselling.
The application process is completely online, and no physical forms are accepted. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth submission.

Click “Submit”, print the application form and keep it safe for future reference.
A form without a photo and signature is treated as incomplete and rejected. Keep your Punjab domicile certificate and category certificate ready before you start. Fill the form yourself, not at a cyber‑cafe, because no corrections are allowed after submission.
