What is PSSSB?

PSSSB (Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board) conducts recruitment for Punjab state government jobs including Clerk and DEO posts. The typing test is a separate qualifying round held after the written exam.

The board recruits for Clerk, DEO, and other posts across multiple Punjab government departments. Clerk posts require Punjabi or Hindi typing at 30 WPM. DEO posts require English at 8000 key depressions per hour. The test is qualifying — pass/fail, no marks to merit list.

Font note
Punjab uses the Raavi font for Punjabi typing — not Krutidev or Mangal. The keyboard layout follows Remington-style conventions. If your post requires Punjabi, practice specifically on Raavi layout.

Typing Layouts

Three different layouts serve PSSSB candidates — Raavi for Punjabi, Mangal Remington GAIL for Hindi, and QWERTY for DEO English. They are not interchangeable. Pick the one for your post and stick with it.

Raavi vs Mangal: If you already know Remington GAIL Hindi, Punjabi Raavi will feel familiar — same key positions, different script. The muscle memory transfers quickly.

Common Mistakes

The most common issue is language confusion — practising Hindi when your post needs Punjabi, or using the wrong font. Identify your exact requirement first.
What to avoid
✕Practising only Hindi if your post requires Punjabi — Raavi is a completely different layout
✕Confusing Punjabi Raavi layout with Hindi Remington — same structure but different characters
✕Using backspace extensively — it breaks your flow in timed tests
✕Setting practice sessions longer than the actual test duration — 10 min focused practice is better than 1 hour casual
What actually works
✓Identify your exact post first — different language requirements for Clerk vs DEO
✓For Punjabi, use Raavi font specifically — don't substitute with another font
✓Practice in 10-minute focused sessions to build pacing for the actual test
✓Aim for 32–33 WPM in practice so 30 WPM feels comfortable on exam day
✓Daily 30–40 minute practice for 4–5 weeks typically reaches 30 WPM for beginners
