Cut Off 2026 – Category-Wise Qualifying Marks
The PSSSB Jail Warder cut off 2026 represents the minimum qualifying percentage each category needs to clear the written exam. These are the official qualifying standards set by the board, not the final selection cutoff, which depends on vacancies and total qualified candidates. The final selection cutoff is typically higher than qualifying marks and will only be known after all stages (PMT, PET, DV, and Medical) are completed.
| Category | Qualifying Marks (%) | Out of 120 Marks |
|---|---|---|
| General | 40% | 48 marks |
| OBC | 35% | 42 marks |
| SC/ST | 32% | 38.4 marks |
| EWS | 40% | 48 marks |
| Ex-Servicemen | 35% | 42 marks |
Paper 2 (Punjabi Language 50 questions) is qualifying only. You must pass Part A to be eligible, but Part A marks are not counted in the merit ranking.
Final Merit List 2026 – How to Check Your Name
PSSSB released the Jail Warder final merit list as separate PDFs for Warder and Matron posts on 19 January 2026 at sssb.punjab.gov.in. The merit list contains roll numbers of all qualified candidates arranged in roll number order, not rank order. Here’s the important part: the merit list PDF is the only document you need to confirm whether you cleared the written stage. No separate scorecard login is required at this point; just search your roll number in the downloaded PDF using Ctrl+F.
If your roll number appears in the Warder or Matron PDF, you’ve cleared the written stage and are now eligible for PMT/PET. If you notice any discrepancies, such as a wrong name, a missing roll number, or a calculation error, please contact the PSSSB helpdesk immediately using the contact details available on sssb.punjab.gov.in. Candidates who clear the written exam will next face PMT, PET, document verification, and a medical exam in that order. Only those who pass all stages will make it to the final appointment list.
