The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) has announced that the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) paper will now be treated as a qualifying paper in the PCS preliminary examination, with merit determined solely by the general studies paper. This aligns the PCS exam pattern with the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) format, following approval from the Punjab government under the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

PPSC Chairman Jatinder Singh Aulakh also highlighted a focus on Punjab’s history, geography, culture, and economy in the general studies paper-1 for PCS main examination. The changes aim to provide relief to rural and underprivileged aspirants.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
