PSEB SS Religion study guide
PSEB SS Religion · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The PSEB Senior Secondary Religion credential refers to the Religion subject offered at the Senior Secondary (Class XII) stage under the Punjab School Education Board, the state board created by legislative enactment in November 1969 and headquartered at Vidya Bhawan, Phase-8, SAS Nagar (Mohali). Candidates typically encounter it as a Class XII subject within the Board's senior secondary framework, and the Board describes its own scope as covering almost every aspect and stage of school education. Study is organised around four strands: Sikh Religious Studies; Religious Texts and Scriptures; Sikh History and Tradition; and Religious Ethics and Moral Values. Each strand rewards a different skill. The PSEB SS Religion study guide has 4 sections and about 1,266 words.
01Sikh Religious Studies
This domain tests the foundational theology and practice that distinguish Sikhism: belief in Ik Onkar, the authority of the ten Gurus and Guru Granth Sahib, the Khalsa, and the everyday disciplines of gurdwara and community life. Expect definition, matching and short-answer items that ask you to apply, not just recite.
324 words, about 2 min02Religious Texts and Scriptures
This domain examines the composition, structure and authority of Sikh scripture. Questions test which compositions are in Guru Granth Sahib, who compiled it, how it is organised, and what is authoritative versus merely revered.
324 words, about 2 min03Sikh History and Tradition
This domain tests chronology, key institutions and the historical development of Sikh tradition. You need secure dates, correct Gurus, and the ability to explain why an event matters, not just name it.
316 words, about 2 min04Religious Ethics and Moral Values
This domain tests how Sikh ethics are reasoned and applied: virtues and vices, sewa, honest work, sharing, equality and the rejection of ritualism and caste. Expect scenario items that ask what a Sikh should do and why.
