Subordinate Services Selection Board, Punjab (SSSB Punjab) · Post Date:
Applications open — last date 15/09/2026
Short Information
The application portal for Advertisement No. 07 of 2026, Junior Engineer (Civil / Mechanical / Electrical) in Group-B, has been reopened from 11 to 15 September 2026. The reason is narrow but it matters to a particular set of candidates: a corrigendum of 10 September withdrew the old sportsperson-quota condition drawn from the Punjab Recruitment Rules 1988 and replaced it with the amended Sports Policy 2023 gazette notification of 9 March 2026. Anyone who already applied under this advertisement is explicitly told not to apply again.

Eligibility
- The recruitment is for Junior Engineer posts in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical streams, classified as Group-B.
- The corrigendum of 10 September 2026 withdraws the condition written under the note to paragraph 1(iii) of the advertisement, which had relied on the Punjab Recruitment Rules 1988 issued by the Personnel Department (PP-1 Branch) and its amendment of 20 July 2020.
- In its place, the Group-B sportsperson-category post is now to be filled under the amendment made in the new gazette notification of the Department of Sports and Youth Services dated 9 March 2026, relating to Sports Policy 2023.
- The reopening of the portal from 11 to 15 September follows directly from that change — it exists so that candidates newly eligible under the revised sports-quota rule can apply.
- The board's public notice of 11 September 2026 states that candidates who have already applied under Advertisement No. 07 of 2026 do not need to apply again.
- Both the corrigendum and the public notice are signed by the Secretary, Subordinate Services Selection Board, Punjab, at Van Bhawan, Sector-68, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali).
How to Apply
- Apply online through the Punjab government eServices portal using the direct apply link on the board's website.
- The window is short — 11 September to 15 September 2026, and the fee must also be paid by 15 September.
- If you already submitted an application under Advertisement No. 07 of 2026, take no action. Re-applying is not required.
- Sportsperson-category candidates should read the corrigendum of 10 September alongside the original advertisement, because the rule their claim rests on has changed.
- Read the detailed Advertisement No. 07 of 2026 on the board's website for the post-wise vacancy position, qualification and age conditions before paying the fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the portal reopened?
Because of the corrigendum of 10 September 2026. The sportsperson-quota condition for the Group-B post was withdrawn and replaced by the amended Sports Policy 2023 gazette notification of 9 March 2026, so the board reopened applications from 11 to 15 September.
I already applied. Do I need to apply again?
No. The board's public notice of 11 September 2026 says clearly that candidates who have already applied under Advertisement No. 07 of 2026 do not need to apply again.
When does the window close?
15 September 2026, for both the online application and the fee payment.
Which streams are covered?
Junior Engineer in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical, all in Group-B.
What exactly changed for sportsperson candidates?
The earlier basis was the Punjab Recruitment Rules 1988 as amended on 20 July 2020. That has been withdrawn. The post is now filled under the Department of Sports and Youth Services gazette notification amendment of 9 March 2026 to Sports Policy 2023.
