Outline mapped to this bank

This follows PPSC’s published PMS General Knowledge (objective) outline. We do not attach it to a named PMS year or a paper date. If your advertisement differs, the advertisement wins.

  • Current Affairs

    Updated knowledge of current events, issues and developments, with enough historical perspective to understand them. Practise under Current Affairs, then verify incumbents and recent decisions from official sources.

    Current Affairs MCQsCurrent holders

  • Physical, biological, environmental and food sciences

    Everyday science at general-paper depth: body, vitamins, environment, food and basic physical science — not a university science paper.

    Everyday Science

  • Computer science and information technology

    Hardware and software fundamentals, office applications, internet, email and basic communications.

    Computer

  • Basic mathematics and reasoning

    Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, averages, ratios, percentages, logical and analytical reasoning, series, time and work, speed and basic statistics.

    Mathematics

  • General

    Scientists, inventions, discoveries, scientific laws and units of measurement — the standing GK layer.

Marking

Published PPSC outline: 0.25 mark deducted per wrong answer in the objective GK paper. That is not 25 marks per question. CSS MPT has no negative marking on the published FPSC pattern. Confirm both on the current notices.

Syllabus questions

What is PMS GK?
In Punjab PMS, General Knowledge is a compulsory written paper that PPSC outlines as fully objective (MCQ), typically 100 marks. It is not a substitute for English essay, Urdu or optional subjects. Confirm the scheme on ppsc.gop.pk for your cycle.
Is PMS GK a screening test?
People search “PMS screening test” for this paper, but in Punjab it is a compulsory written paper, not a PPSC one-paper job advertisement. Assistant Director, Inspector and Clerk tests are different exams that reuse much of the same general bank. Always read the advertisement in front of you.
Is there negative marking in PMS GK?
PPSC’s published PMS outline deducts 0.25 mark for each wrong answer in the objective General Knowledge paper. That is not “25 marks deducted per question”. A blank answer is safer than a wild guess. Confirm the penalty on the syllabus for your cycle — CSS MPT has no negative marking.
Does this prepare the whole of PMS?
No. Punjab PMS still has descriptive English, Urdu, Pakistan Studies, Islamic Studies or Ethics, optionals, a psychological test and an interview. This bank is for the objective GK paper and for the factual base of the other general papers.
When is the next PMS exam?
Only PPSC can confirm that. We do not publish PMS advertisement dates, last dates to apply or paper dates. Open ppsc.gop.pk and read the current combined competitive examination notice.
Is PMS GK the same as CSS MPT?
Same factual core, different exam. CSS MPT is FPSC’s 200-question qualifying screen with no negative marking. PMS GK is PPSC’s 100-mark objective compulsory paper with a wrong-answer penalty. Practise the overlapping subjects, then sit each paper with its own marking rule.
