PSSSB Labour Inspector study guide
PSSSB Labour Inspector · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The PSSSB Labour Inspector examination is the recruitment test used by the Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board to shortlist candidates for the post of Labour Inspector in the state's labour enforcement machinery. The role sits at the point where statute meets the shop floor: an inspector visits establishments, checks registers and wages, notices breaches of labour and industrial law, and helps workers and employers understand their obligations. The PSSSB Labour Inspector study guide has 8 sections and about 2,248 words.
01Labour and Industrial Law (Indian and Punjab Statutes)
This domain tests whether you can identify the correct statute, threshold and remedy for a workplace problem in India and Punjab. The central framework now sits alongside four Labour Codes-Wages (2019), Industrial Relations (2020), Social Security (2020) and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (2020)-though many older Acts still govern day-to-day administration until the Codes are fully enforced.
356 words, about 2 min02General Knowledge and Current Affairs with Emphasis on Punjab
This section checks broad awareness with a clear Punjab focus: geography, rivers, districts, economy, institutions, sports, awards, schemes and recent state developments. Static facts are predictable; current affairs change, so verify appointments, budget figures and scheme names from official Punjab sources rather than relying on memory.
321 words, about 2 min03Quantitative Aptitude and Numerical Ability
This domain tests speed and accuracy with arithmetic and data interpretation: percentages, ratio and proportion, averages, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time-work, speed-distance and tabular or graphical data. Most questions are short; the difficulty lies in choosing the right base and avoiding unnecessary calculation.
254 words, about 1 min04Reasoning and Mental Ability
Reasoning tests pattern recognition and logical consistency rather than computation. Expect coding-decoding, series, blood relations, directions, seating arrangement, syllogism, analogy, classification and non-verbal figures.
258 words, about 1 min05English Language and Comprehension
English tests grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension in a practical, exam-oriented way. Expect error spotting, fill in the blanks, sentence improvement, synonyms and antonyms, idioms, one-word substitution, rearrangement and a passage with inference questions.
264 words, about 1 min06Punjabi Language and Comprehension
231 words, about 1 min07Computer Awareness and Basic Information Technology
Computer awareness tests everyday IT literacy: hardware and software, memory, operating systems, word processing and spreadsheets, internet and email, networking basics, shortcuts and cyber safety. Questions are factual, so precise terms matter more than long explanations.
257 words, about 1 min08Labour Welfare, Social Security and Administrative Practice
This domain connects welfare and social-security law with office practice. Expect questions on provident fund, ESI, gratuity, maternity benefit, employees’ compensation, Punjab Labour Welfare Fund, welfare amenities, inspections, registers and returns, and the administrative handling of service and disciplinary matters.
