How to Apply

SSSC Punjab Clerk Apply Online

Applications must be submitted online only, under the head "Clerk District Courts of Punjab" on the official website sssc.gov.in. No other mode of submission is accepted. The broad process is:

• Registration: Fill the Registration form first, followed by the Application Form.
• Real-time photograph: Capture a real-time photograph using an inbuilt or attached webcam, as required within the Online Application Form.
• Upload documents: Upload a scanned recent passport-size photograph (not more than one month old, against a white background) and a scanned signature.
• Fill in all details carefully: Enter all personal details, including category and sub-category, correctly - no change is permitted after submission.
• Pay the fee: The application form is linked to a fee payment gateway (internet banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI); the online application is considered submitted only after successful payment of the fee, which is non-refundable.
• Retain documents: Keep a printed copy of the submitted application, and retain 5 copies of the uploaded photograph for later stages of the recruitment process.

Candidates must ensure the real-time photograph, the uploaded scanned photograph, and the photograph pasted on the E-Admit Card all match, and that their facial appearance at the exam matches these photographs - any mismatch means the candidate will not be allowed to enter the examination centre.
