I tried to import PNG & JPEG pattern file to add pattern in Ps but it did not work. What should be the file extension to import? PAT file extension?

Open you jpg, png or any image in photoshop then go to Edit>Define Pattern, name it and hit Ok.

If you now look at the Patterns panel your image should be there at the very bottom.

You can make a new Group to put your Defined Patterns in then from the Patterns panel flyout menu use Export Selected Paterns to save them for future use.

If you just want the image (pattern) in your layer stack then you can use File>Place Embedded.

Defining the Pattern is not required for that.

If you have many files to convert to Photoshop pattern then record action for batch process or search for script.

I assume from your method, it is possible to import a pattern folder to add in Ps. If so I will try it.
