Crucial Guideline for Dual-Cadre Applicants

The Assistant Director of Punjab Recruitment has highlighted a strict operational rule for candidates applying under multiple tracks:

  • If you applied for both Fresh and Backlog posts, you must organize separate sets of document files for each individual cadre.
  • Submitting a single combined file will result in your attendance being recorded for only one cadre. You will be marked absent for the other cadre, leading to immediate disqualification from that specific selection list.

📋 What to Bring on Your Scrutiny Day

Ensure you have the following organized before traveling to Mohali:

  1. Application Printout: A clear copy of your submitted online registration form.
  2. Photographs: Four recent passport-sized photos.
  3. Academic Transcripts: Original certificates and mark sheets (Matriculation, Graduation, Post-Graduation, and B.Ed.) along with a set of self-attested photocopies.
  4. Category & Domicile Proofs: Valid Punjab Residence certificate alongside relevant Category/Reservation certificates (SC, BC, EWS, ESM, PwD) where applicable.

Would you like me to write a professional format for the document filing sequence to separate your Fresh and Backlog folders, or do you need a highly specific cut-off list for a targeted category like ESM or PwD?
