Exam pattern
The PSPCL ALM exam has two parts:
- Part-I (qualifying): 50 Punjabi MCQs (50 marks). You must score at least 50% — this part only screens you in and is not counted in the merit score.
- Part-II (merit): 100 MCQs (100 marks) — Technical/Lineman trade 50, Punjabi 20, General Knowledge 10, Reasoning 10 and Arithmetic 10. Total time 3 hours, with no negative marking.
The merit list is built from Part-II marks, after which document verification decides final selection.
Why this is a strong opening
With 6,289 vacancies, PSPCL ALM 2026 is one of the highest-volume openings for Punjab's ITI and NAC holders this year, and the no-negative-marking pattern rewards attempting every question. The heavy weight on the technical trade paper (50 of 100 marks) means your ITI/NAC training is your biggest advantage — revise the Lineman trade syllabus thoroughly.

A note on strategy.
The qualifying Punjabi paper is where avoidable failures happen. Many strong technical candidates underestimate Part-I — but if you miss the 50% Punjabi cut-off, your excellent Part-II score never counts. Treat the Punjabi paper as non-negotiable revision, especially if Punjabi is not your first language. On the merit side, the maths is simple: 50 of the 100 scoring marks come from the technical/Lineman trade section, so trade revision has the highest return per hour. And because there is no negative marking, leave nothing blank. One housekeeping point — apply only under the advertisement that matches your certificate; submitting under the wrong trade ad is the most common rejection reason. Confirm reservation and any category-specific relaxation against the official advertisement before paying the fee.
