The wait is finally over for stenographer aspirants in Punjab. The Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board (PSSSB) on Wednesday (October 21) published the final result for its Stenotypist recruitment under Advertisement No. 14/2025, bringing a months-long selection process to its decisive stage.
The result has been released as a Result-cum-Common Merit List (CML), a 16-page document that does much more than just name the qualifiers. Along with roll numbers and names, it records each candidate’s skill-test errors, attendance status, eligibility, selection category and, where applicable, the department allotted to them.
If you appeared in the written examination or the stenography skill test, this is the document you need to open today.
What the final result actually is
Unlike a routine shortlisting notice, the Result-cum-Common Merit List closes the loop on the entire recruitment. It folds together the written examination result, the stenography skill-test outcome and the department allotments into one final list. That means candidates who find their names here are looking at the final stage of this recruitment, not an invitation to yet another test.
One important caution: the PDF contains eligible, not-eligible and absent entries together. Simply spotting your roll number in the list does not confirm selection. Candidates must check the eligibility status and selection category columns against their own entries, and only those marked eligible with a department allotment are in the clear.
What you will find inside the 16-page PDF
Each entry in the merit list carries a full set of details so candidates can verify their record at a glance:
- Serial number, roll number, candidate name and father’s name
- Date of birth and reservation category claimed during application
- Number of stenography errors recorded in the skill test
- Present or absent status for the skill test
- Eligibility status: eligible or not eligible
- Selection category under which the selection is recorded
- Department allotted, where applicable
How to check the PSSSB Steno Typist final result
The result PDF is available on the board’s official website. Here is the simplest way to check it:

Candidates are advised to use only the official website for this. The board has not issued the result through any third-party portal, and unofficial copies can be outdated or incomplete.
What happens after this result
The merit list itself does not spell out joining dates. Document verification, joining and appointment instructions will be issued separately by PSSSB or by the department allotted to each candidate. Aspirants should keep checking sssb.punjab.gov.in and any communication from their allotted department for the next notice.
It helps to keep your papers in order now itself: a valid photo identity proof, educational certificates and marksheets, stenography or typing qualification documents, reservation category certificates where applicable, and your application form reference. Having these ready avoids last-minute scrambles when verification dates drop.
