Every candidate who applies for a Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) post must carry a printed admission letter, often called the roll number slip, to the written test. Without it, you are not allowed into the exam hall. This guide explains how to get it, when it is issued and what to take with you on test day.
When Is the PPSC Admission Letter Issued?
PPSC usually makes admission letters available on its website about a week to ten days before the test. Letters are issued post by post, so candidates for different posts receive them on different dates. Keep checking the website as your test date comes closer.
How to Download Your Admission Letter
- Visit the official website, ppsc.gop.pk.
- Open the admission letter option in the online system, or log in to the account you used to apply.
- Enter your CNIC number without dashes.
- Select the post or case number you applied for and submit.
- Download the admission letter and print all its pages clearly.
Read the letter carefully. It shows your roll number, test date, reporting time and the address of your exam centre.
What to Bring on Test Day
- The printed admission letter. A copy on your phone is not enough.
- Your original CNIC. Photocopies are not accepted.
- A blue or black pen, unless the letter says otherwise.
Not allowed: mobile phones, smartwatches, bags, books and notes. Leave them at home or outside the centre.
Tips for a Smooth Test Day
- Visit the exam centre a day before if you do not know the area.
- Reach the centre well before the reporting time written on your letter. Late candidates may not be allowed in.
- Your exam centre cannot normally be changed once the letter is issued, so plan your travel early.
What If My Details Are Wrong or I Cannot Find My Letter?
If your name, photo or other details are wrong, or the letter is not available a few days before your test, contact PPSC through the contact details given on ppsc.gop.pk before the test date. Do not wait until the test day.
After the Test: Checking Your Result
PPSC publishes written test results, final recommendations, merit lists and detailed marks under the Results menu on its website. Check there regularly after your test.
