PSSSB Clerk Punjabi Language Syllabus

“No one can be hired for a Group-‘C’ position unless they’ve passed a Punjabi Language test equivalent to the Matriculation standard, conducted by the respective recruitment agencies. This test requires at least fifty percent marks to qualify. It’s an essential requirement, and failing to score at least fifty percent in this test will lead to disqualification from being considered for the final selection, regardless of their scores in other parts of the exam.”

The detailed topic for the Punjabi Language Syllabus has been provided below:

• Vocabulary: This refers to the collection of words and their meanings in Punjabi. It involves learning new words and understanding their usage in different contexts to enhance language proficiency.
• Conjunctions: Conjunctions are words that connect phrases, clauses, or sentences. In Punjabi, conjunctions help in joining different parts of a sentence to make it coherent and meaningful. For example, ਤੇ (te) meaning “and”, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ (jiveṁ ki) meaning “like”, etc.
• Prefixes and Suffixes: Prefixes are added at the beginning of a word, while suffixes are added at the end, altering the meaning or creating new words. Learning prefixes and suffixes in Punjabi aids in understanding the structure and derivation of words. For instance, ਪੁਨਰ (punar-) as a prefix means “re-” or “again”, and ਵਾਲਾ (-vālā) as a suffix denotes “related to”.
• Synonyms/Antonyms: Synonyms are words with similar meanings, while antonyms are words with opposite meanings. Recognizing synonyms and antonyms in Punjabi helps in enriching vocabulary and understanding nuances in language usage.
• Nouns: Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas. In Punjabi, nouns are categorized based on gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter) and number (singular or plural). Understanding nouns is fundamental in constructing sentences and expressing ideas accurately.
• Adjectives and Adverbs and their proper place: Adjectives describe or modify nouns, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In Punjabi, proper placement of adjectives and adverbs is crucial for conveying precise meaning and maintaining grammatical correctness in sentences.
• Identity: This aspect may refer to understanding and recognizing one’s cultural or linguistic identity within the Punjabi-speaking community. It involves appreciating Punjabi language and culture as an integral part of one’s heritage and identity.
