The recruitment process features an offline OMR-based objective test split into two segments. Part A serves as a mandatory qualifying Punjabi language test requiring a minimum score of 50 percent, while Part B forms the core assessment for merit preparation.

Final shortlisting and merit ranking are computed entirely on the marks secured in Part B of the main examination. Part A functions strictly as a qualifying hurdle and its scores are excluded from final merit calculations.

Candidates clearing the written test are invited for a comprehensive counselling session and certificate verification round. Original testimonials concerning age, educational qualifications, and category status must be presented for validation.

The examination is conducted offline via OMR sheets. Part A comprises 50 questions for 50 marks with no negative marking, lasting 30 minutes. Part B comprises 100 questions for 100 marks with a duration of 2 hours, carrying a negative marking penalty of 1/4th mark for each incorrect response.
