Crucial Details to Check on Your Hall Ticket
Immediately after opening your admit card, verify that the following fields are correct:
-
Personal Details: Full name, father’s name, category, and date of birth.
-
Registration Data: Roll number and original application number.
-
Exam Logistics: Exact exam centre address, shift timings, and required reporting time.
-

If you find any discrepancy — such as a misspelled name, blurred photograph, or missing signature — contact the PSSSB helpdesk immediately for corrections. Mismatched credentials can result in direct disqualification at the test centre gate.

Prohibited Items: Electronic devices (mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, calculators), blank paper sheets, bags, and metallic items are strictly banned inside the exam hall.
Selection Process & Next Stages
The examination scheduled for July 26 is the primary screening phase. Understanding the complete multi-stage selection process ensures candidates can prepare systematically for what lies ahead:
-
Written Examination: Objective-type test covering General Knowledge, Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, Languages (Punjabi & English), and Basic IT Skills.
-
Physical Measurement Test (PMT): Candidates who qualify the written cutoff are screened for minimum physical standards (height, chest measurements for males).
-
Physical Efficiency Test (PET): A qualifying endurance test consisting of physical runs and obstacle tasks.
-
Document Verification: Final verification of original educational certificates, category proof, and Punjab domicile documents prior to final merit listing.
Final Exam Day Tips
-
Plan Your Travel: Locate your examination centre on a map a day in advance to gauge travel time, traffic density, and transport options.
-
Arrive Early: Reach the venue at least 60 minutes prior to the reporting time stated on your hall ticket to complete security screening and frisking without stress.
-
Preserve Your Hall Ticket: Do not discard your admit card after the exam ends; you will need to produce the same document during the physical testing and document verification rounds.
