Punjab PSEB SS Computer Science

It is the Class XII Computer Science subject examination conducted by the Punjab School Education Board for Senior Secondary students. It has two assessed parts: a written board examination (theory) and a practical examination. The Board publishes the syllabus, structure of question paper, question bank and model test papers on its Academics pages, and those documents define what you are examined on.

Class XII students in PSEB-affiliated, associated or government schools who choose Computer Science as an elective. Because the Board has announced an upgrade of the subject to Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence variants, check with your school which version applies to your class and session before you plan your study.

Yes. Board notices dated 21-10-2026 announce the upgradation of "Computer Science" to "Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Advance" for Classes VIII to XII in affiliated/associated schools, and to "Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence(CSAI) Basic" for Classes VIII to XII in government schools. Confirm the applicable version and syllabus with your school.

The Board lists two components: a written board examination (theory) and a practical examination, supported by published practical instructions for centre controllers. The detailed structure of the theory question paper is published separately by the Board, so download that document rather than relying on second-hand descriptions of the paper pattern.

On the PSEB website under Academics Wing: Syllabus, e-Books, Books, Question Bank, Structure of Question Paper, and Model Test Paper/Sample of Question Papers. Use these as your primary sources. This page is an independent study aid and does not reproduce or replace Board documents.

Start with the Board syllabus to map every unit, then read the Board e-Book chapter by chapter. Move to the published structure of question paper so you know the mark distribution, then practise the Board question bank and model test papers under timed conditions. Keep practical work running in parallel, since the practical examination is assessed separately.

Skipping the published structure of question paper and misallocating time, ignoring the practical component until the last weeks, and answering from memory instead of using the terminology the Board textbook uses. Another frequent problem is preparing from an older syllabus when the subject has been upgraded, so always confirm the current version with your school.

The Board publishes schedules for 10th and 12th class examinations covering Re-appear/Compartment, Additional Subject, and Division Improvement, and also a private examination form for re-appear, compartment, additional subject and improvement candidates. The specific eligibility rules and dates change each session, so read the current circular on the PSEB site.

The source material reviewed here does not state the duration of the theory paper, the total marks, or the passing score. Those details appear in the Board's structure of question paper and examination instructions. Check the current documents on the PSEB website or ask your school rather than relying on unverified figures.
