PSSSB Punjab Jail Warder PMT PET 2026 – Schedule and Venue

The PMT and PET will be conducted from 11 to 16 November 2026 at Polo Ground, Stadium Road, Patiala. The public notice dated 7 November 2026 carries the post-wise shortlisted candidate lists, and each candidate must report to the venue on the date allotted to them in the notice and follow the instructions issued by the board.

Do not mix this with the older cycle. Advertisement No. 07/2025 (500 posts, including Assistant Superintendent) had its own PMT/PET from 20 to 29 April 2026, and a separate PSSSB notice also dated 7 November 2026 covers its remaining posts on 11 November 2026 only. This article is only about Advertisement No. 08/2026 — 532 posts, PMT/PET 11–16 November 2026. Dates, lists and instructions from the 07/2025 cycle do not apply here.

PSSSB Jail Warder PMT Standards 2026

The Physical Measurement Test checks height, chest and weight against the standards fixed in Advertisement No. 08/2026. Candidates who do not meet the measurement for their post do not move to the Physical Efficiency Test.

The chest standard applies only to the Warder post, and the weight standard applies only to the Matron post. The eligibility conditions for the posts are 10+2 or equivalent with Punjabi as a compulsory or elective subject in Class 10, and an age limit of 18 to 27 years as on 1 January 2026.

PSSSB Jail Warder PMT PET 2026 – Documents to Carry and Reporting

The 7 November 2026 notice directs candidates to report at Polo Ground on their allotted date and follow the instructions issued by the board. The public reporting of the notice does not state a reporting time or a document checklist for this cycle, so neither is given here. The 9:00 AM reporting time and 11:00 AM gate closing shown on some websites belong to the April 2026 PMT/PET of the older Advertisement No. 07/2025 — do not treat them as the timings for 11–16 November 2026.
