SSSB Punjab Recruitment 2026 Selection Process
- Candidates who successfully apply for the notified posts will be called for an Objective Type (Multiple Choice Question, MCQ) written examination.
- The merit list will be prepared on the basis of marks obtained in the written examination. There will be negative marking in this written examination: each question carries 1 mark, and ¼ mark will be deducted for a wrong answer.
- In case of a tie in merit in the written examination: first, the candidate with the higher age (based on date of birth) will rank above; if the date of birth is also the same, the candidate with a higher percentage in the required educational qualification will rank above; if this is also tied, the candidate with higher marks in Matriculation will rank above.
- Based on the merit list, candidates will be called for counseling for verification of all documents. The number of candidates called for counseling will be decided by the Board or its competent authority/officer, keeping in view the category-wise number of vacancies.
- After counseling, the names of candidates found completely successful/eligible will be recommended to the concerned department as per the then-current number of vacancies (which may be reduced or increased at any time during the recruitment process as per the concerned department's orders/instructions).

Only after the candidate's eligibility is proved in every respect will their name be recommended to the department on the basis of merit in the written examination. If a candidate is unable to prove their eligibility, their candidature will be cancelled, and the Board's decision in this regard will be final.
- Candidates called for counseling will be considered only under the category/post code against which they applied.
