Food and Civil Supplies (FCS) department of Punjab is going to conduct exam on 15 December 2013 for the recruitment of food inspectors. Today I am sharing study plan and preparation material to candidates. I am trying my best to provide every required material. I will try to keep this page update for every announcement related to Food inspector exam. It is better to bookmark this than to search it again and again on Google.

Exam structure and Syllabus

Section	Questions to be asked	Expected Cutoff
Punjabi Language	13	There is no sectional cutoff, There will be no interviews, top 461 candidates will get the job
English Language	12
General knowledge	25
Mental ability/reasoning	50
Mathematical skills	25
Computer proficiency	25
Total	150	85-90

FCS department have mentioned in their notification that every candidate who score 35% marks in the exam will find a place in merit list. There will be no interviews.

In past I have seen that this 35% cutoff have no meaning, actual cutoff goes beyond 50%. So top 461 candidates will get the job.
