PPSC Naib-Tehsildar study guide
PPSC Naib-Tehsildar · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Naib Tehsildar recruitment test is the screening and selection examination that the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) conducts for appointment as Naib Tehsildar in the Punjab revenue administration. The post is a district-level revenue officer who assists the Tehsildar in land records, mutation work, revenue collection, and magisterial support at the tehsil level, so the test is designed to filter candidates who combine general academic competence with a working grasp of land revenue law and office practice. The PPSC Naib-Tehsildar study guide has 9 sections and about 2,775 words.

294 words, about 1 min03Islamic Studies / Ethics (Non-Muslim Candidates)
This portion rewards exact, source-based facts: Qur'anic structure, Seerat, the Khulafa-e-Rashideen, pillars of Islam and Iman, and basic fiqh terminology. Non-Muslim candidates attempt the Ethics alternative, which tests universal moral values - honesty, justice, tolerance, civic responsibility and human rights - rather than Islamic ritual detail.
325 words, about 2 min04Pakistan Studies - Movement, Constitution and Geography
Pakistan Studies in this paper covers the freedom movement's timeline, constitutional development, and the physical and administrative geography of Pakistan. The questions are almost always date-and-name based, so a clean chronology is your best asset.
297 words, about 1 min05General Knowledge - Current Affairs, Geography and Basic Science
General Knowledge here is a breadth paper: international organisations and their headquarters, capitals and currencies, world geography superlatives, major scientific facts, and current affairs from roughly the year preceding the advertisement. Because the current-affairs half is time-sensitive, verify dates against the last six months before the exam rather than relying on an old guide.
300 words, about 2 min06Mathematics / Quantitative Reasoning
This section tests arithmetic speed and a little algebra: percentages, ratio and proportion, average, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time–work, time–speed–distance, area and perimeter, and number series. You have roughly a minute per item, so converting word problems into a single equation beats guesswork.
319 words, about 2 min07Everyday Science
Everyday Science asks about the body, matter, energy, the solar system and household technology - the physics and biology behind ordinary life. Questions are factual and short, so consolidate units, names of instruments, vitamins and organ functions.
282 words, about 1 min08Computer Literacy / Basic IT
Computer literacy questions are practical: hardware versus software, storage units, operating-system basics, word-processing and spreadsheet shortcuts, and internet terminology. Most items can be answered from a small set of conversions and definitions.
293 words, about 1 min09Professional - Punjab Land Revenue and Tehsil Administration
This is the decisive section. It tests the Punjab Land Revenue Act 1967 and the Land Revenue Rules 1968, the revenue hierarchy, record-of-rights documents, mutation procedure, partition, and the everyday duties of a Naib-Tehsildar.
