PSSSB JE Recruitment 2026 Reopened – Apply by 27.10.2026, Exam Postponed

The Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board has put the Junior Engineer exam on hold and opened the application form again.

You can now apply online from 12.10.2026 to 27.10.2026 under Advt. No. 07/2026, and the exam planned for 18.10.2026 will not be held on that date.
