PSSSB JE Syllabus 2026 – Exam Pattern & Subject-Wise Topics
Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board | Junior Engineer (Civil / Mechanical / Electrical)
Once you've applied for the PSSSB Junior Engineer post, the next real task is figuring out exactly what to study. The written exam is objective in nature and mixes your core engineering knowledge with general awareness and reasoning, so a scattered approach won't get you far. This page breaks the syllabus down section by section — technical and non-technical — along with the exam pattern, so you can build a study plan that actually covers what's being tested.
PSSSB JE Exam Pattern 2026

The technical section carries the highest weightage in the paper, so your discipline-specific subject (Civil, Mechanical or Electrical) deserves the bulk of your study time — but don't ignore the general sections, since they add up fast in a 120-mark paper.
