The examination for admission to SoEs for Class IX and XI will be conducted on March 30, from 10 am to 1 pm at 24 centres while on March 31, the examination for Punjab State Talent Search Examination (PSTSE) will be conducted across six centres.

The directions came after the District Education Office had written to the DC and Police Commissioner for making requisite security arrangements on the two days for the conduct of examinations.

“This order will be in force from morning to evening on March 30, 2024.
