Group B: With only 10 vacancies, competition per post will be tough. Read the eligibility section in the official notice before paying the fee, because sources differ on the exact posts.
Junior Engineer: The original window ran from 13 March to 6 April 2026, so this is a second chance for those who missed it. If you already applied, you don’t need to apply again. careerpower

Further PSSSB recruitments |
Likely, none confirmed |
PSSSB has issued new advertisements every few weeks this year. Watch sssb.punjab.gov.in. |
|
PSTET (next cycle) |
No notification found |
The 2026 exam was held on 15 March 2026, so the next one is probably later in 2027. This is a guess based on the 2026 cycle. |
|
Master Cadre teachers |
Reported as upcoming, unconfirmed |
One site mentions 2000+ vacancies with a notification expected from the School Education Department. No date has been announced. |
|
Punjab Police Sub Inspector |

One prep site said the official notification was still awaited as of April 2026. |
Recent exams and what’s coming
PSSSB released an exam calendar on 17 September. It scheduled written exams from 6 to 25 October 2026, with Group D set for 25 October. The Clerk exam for 531 posts was scheduled for 11 October. Candidates for these exams should watch for admit cards and any rescheduling notices, as the JE postponement shows.
On the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) side:
Some websites show “PPSC” jobs that belong to the Punjab Public Service Commission in Pakistan (ppsc.gop.pk). Listings that mention BS-14 or BS-16 pay scales, or a Pakistani domicile requirement, are not for Indian Punjab. Ignore them.

Step |
What to do |
|
1. Official site only |
Apply through sssb.punjab.gov.in. News sites are for awareness, not applications. |
|
2. Read the full advertisement |
It lists qualifications, age limits, category codes and fees for each post. |
|
3. Check the age cut-off |
For the Group C drive, the age cut-off date is 1 January 2026. |
|
4. Keep documents ready |
Photograph, signature, education and category certificates, and any age-relaxation proof. |
|
5. Pay the fee |
An application without a successful fee payment is usually treated as incomplete. Save the receipt. |
|
6. Apply early |
Last-day traffic often slows the site and causes failed payments. |
|
7. Save your form |
You will need the registration number for admit cards and results. |
If any of the upcoming Punjab government exams 2026 that open next suit you better, use the time now. Build a base in Punjab GK, Punjabi language, general awareness, reasoning and quantitative aptitude. Move to post-specific syllabus topics once a notification arrives. Exam dates have shifted more than once this cycle, as the Junior Engineer postponement and the Senior Assistant rescheduling show, so keep checking the official sites.
