What After the PSSSB Clerk Exam 2026?
Qualifying in the written exam is only the first step of the selection process. Candidates who qualify the Part B cutoff will have to qualify in the mandatory computer typing test before the final merit list is prepared and appointments are made.
- Written results and the merit list are prepared once all the exams are over. PSSSB publishes the roll number-wise merit list, which is based exclusively on Part B scores for the candidates who passed Part A.
- Candidates who qualify the written exam will then have to appear for the Mandatory Computer Typing test, where they will have to achieve a minimum typing speed of 30 words per minute in both English and Punjabi. The typing test is qualifying in nature.
- Once all the stages are completed, qualified candidates will have to go through Document Verification. Verification of Bachelor’s degree, 10th Punjabi passing certificate, 120-hour computer course certificate, and Punjab domicile proof will be required.
