PSSSB Driver Syllabus 2026

  • The syllabus is given in three annexures: Annexure-1 for the Punjabi qualifying test, Annexure-2 for Part B(i) and Annexure-3 for Part B(ii). The Punjabi paper follows Matriculation standard as per the notification of 28.10.2022 cited in the plan.

How to Prepare for PSSSB Driver Exam 2026

  • Clear Part A first. Part B is not checked unless you score 25 out of 50 in Punjabi. Revise grammar, idioms, proverbs and the lives of the Gurus daily, even if you are comfortable with the language.
  • Give the most time to Part B(ii). It carries 60 of the 100 merit marks. Study traffic signs, road markings, vehicle systems and maintenance routines topic by topic, and revise from the actual syllabus list above.
  • Use the weightage table for Part B(i). General Knowledge and Reasoning carry 10 marks each, so they deserve more time than English, ICT or Punjabi, which carry 5 each.
  • Practise with a timer. You have 2 hours 30 minutes for 150 questions across both parts, which is about one minute per question. Take full-length mock tests in OMR style to build speed.
  • Attempt only when reasonably sure in Part B. Each wrong answer costs 0.25 mark, so avoid random guessing on questions you cannot narrow down.
  • Revise weak areas weekly. Keep a short list of mistakes from mock tests and previous year papers, and revisit it every week.
