Swarn PSPCL Junior Engineer Electrical Recruitment Test Guide (English) 2026 is a comprehensive, exam-centric reference book meticulously designed for candidates aspiring to secure the position of junior engineer (Electrical) in the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL). Published by Sahil Publications, this guide is an authoritative resource that aligns with the latest PSPCL JE recruitment pattern and syllabus.
This edition for 2026 incorporates a structured approach to cover the entire spectrum of the selection process, including the Qualifying Test in Punjabi Language and the main examination. The book begins with a detailed syllabus and guidelines section, helping aspirants understand topic-wise weightage and exam strategy. A distinct advantage of this guide is the inclusion of previous examination papers from 2025 and 2021 and an additional unsolved year, enabling candidates to analyse trend-based questions, difficulty levels, and important repetitive concepts. A separate section on knowledge about PSPCL/PSTCL provides essential insights into the corporation’s functioning, a crucial area for the general awareness segment.
The content is bifurcated into two logical parts. Part I is dedicated to the Punjabi language (qualifying test), ensuring candidates can clear this mandatory screening section with confidence.

1. Technical Questions – Electrical & Electronics Engineering: This is the most vital section for the JE post. It covers core subjects including circuit theory, electrical machines, power systems, measurement and instrumentation, control systems, analogue and digital electronics, power electronics, and utilisation of electrical energy.
