Punjab Police Constable: Minimum Qualifying Marks

| Category | Minimum Qualifying Percentage | Minimum Qualifying Marks |
| General Category | 40% | 40 marks out of 100 in Paper 1 |
| SC/ST/OBC/Ex-Servicemen | 35% | 35 marks out of 100 in Paper 1 |
Paper 2 (Punjabi Language Test) is qualifying in nature, and candidates must secure at least 50% to pass, though these marks do not contribute to the merit list.
Factors Influencing Punjab Police Constable Cut Off 2026
Several factors determine the cut-off marks each year, making them variable and unpredictable. Key factors include:
- Number of Vacancies: With 3298 vacancies in 2026, the cut-off is influenced by the balance between available posts and the number of applicants. Fewer vacancies typically lead to higher cut-offs due to increased competition.
- Number of Applicants: A higher number of candidates appearing for the exam increases competition, potentially raising the cut-off.
- Exam Difficulty Level: If the 2026 exam is more challenging, cut-offs may be lower, and vice versa for an easier paper.
- Candidate Performance: The overall performance, including the highest and average scores, impacts the cut-off. A high-performing candidate pool results in a higher cut-off.
- Category-Wise Reservations: Reserved categories (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc.) have lower cut-offs due to relaxation policies, as mandated by the Punjab Police Recruitment Board.
- Normalisation of Marks: Since the exam is conducted in multiple shifts, normalisation is applied to ensure fairness, which may slightly adjust the cut-off.
