Important Dates

How to Apply

1. Visit the official PRSC website and download Advertisement No. 4/2026 and the prescribed application form.
2. Complete the form carefully for the post being applied for.
3. Attach self-attested copies of the required certificates, testimonials and other documents.
4. Pay the prescribed application fee using the permitted method and attach the proof.
5. Send the completed application to the Punjab Remote Sensing Centre, PAU Campus, Ludhiana, so that it reaches the centre by 27 October 2026, as extended by the official corrigendum dated 5 October 2026. Candidates who already applied and paid the fee do not need to submit a second application.

Post-wise eligibility quick comparison

This is a quick comparison, not a substitute for the detailed advertisement. Applicants should confirm exact subjects, minimum marks, typing speed, experience duration and acceptable certificates in the official notification. If a qualification appears similar but is not named in the notice, do not assume it will be accepted without an explicit equivalence provision.

Example application preparation by post

A candidate applying for Clerk should verify the prescribed graduation division, computer qualification and typing requirements before preparing the application. A Lab Attendant applicant should check the exact 10+2 Science subjects specified by the notice. A Lab Executive applicant should confirm that the diploma/BCA/B.Sc discipline is among those accepted. For Chowkidar-cum-Mali, check both the relevant experience evidence and any physical-test conditions. These examples illustrate why the same document checklist should not be assumed to apply identically to all five designations.

Make a post-specific folder containing the prescribed form, qualification documents, Punjabi-language proof, experience record where required, fee receipt and any other certificate named in the notice. Compare the name, date of birth and qualification details across documents before signing the form. If the notification uses a specific format for an experience or category certificate, use that format rather than an unrelated certificate.

Deadline extension: important update

The official corrigendum dated 5 October 2026 extends the receipt deadline to 27 October 2026. Applications remain offline and must follow the prescribed form and original advertisement. The extended date is the date the application must reach PRSC, not merely the date it is posted. Candidates who already applied and paid the fee do not need to apply again.

Application dispatch checklist

• ☐ Confirm the exact post and post-specific qualification.
• ☐ Complete and sign the prescribed application form.
• ☐ Attach self-attested qualification, Punjabi-language and experience records where required.

Choosing the correct post: a quick decision path

1. Start with the exact qualification you hold and the subject/discipline printed on the certificate.
2. Match that qualification to the individual post in Advertisement No. 4/2026; do not choose a post based only on its title.
3. Check whether Punjabi through Matric, typing/computer skills, relevant experience or physical standards apply to that post.
4. Confirm any age relaxation and required proof before preparing the application.
5. Use the official form and check the 5 October corrigendum for the extended 27 October receipt deadline.
6. Send the form early, retain the tracking details and verify that it reaches PRSC by the deadline.

For example, a candidate with a general graduate degree should not assume they meet the Lab Executive requirement: the listed qualification is a first-class relevant technical qualification, and the accepted disciplines must be checked in the advertisement. Likewise, an applicant for Chowkidar-cum-Mali should verify the required experience and physical conditions, not just the matriculation requirement.
