Now, they have announced it will be held on October 26. This uncertainty over the exam date has affected our preparations.' Another aspirants said, 'Though the Punjab and Haryana high court has already made it clear that the PCS exam should be held every year, the last PCS exam was held in 2020. The government is seemingly turning a blind eye towards the court's observations. The PPSC is operating with the chairman and one member despite having a sanctioned strength of five. The lone member out of the five posts, Harmohan Kaur Sandhu, has to retire on August 19 after six-year tenure. Consequently, the PPSC chairman will be the only person in the commission.
