Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
GSSSB accepts three alternate qualification routes for each trade group. Broadly, a candidate qualifies with either a relevant engineering degree, or a relevant diploma, or a National Trade Certificate (NTC)/National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC) in the relevant trade combined with the prescribed years of experience. The exact qualification and experience combination differs from trade group to trade group.
Because the accepted qualifications vary by advertisement number (443 to 449), candidates must open the trade-specific section of the official notification PDF and confirm which of the three routes they satisfy before confirming their application.
Age Limit & Age Relaxation
The standard age limit is 18 to 36 years as on 3 August 2026. Category-wise relaxation extends eligibility up to 45 years for certain candidates:
| Category | Relaxation | Maximum Age |
| General category women | 5 years | 41 years |
| Reserved category men & women | 5 years | 41 years |
| Reserved category women | 10 years | 45 years |
| General category PwD (male) | 10 years | 45 years |
| General category PwD (female) | 15 years | 45 years |
| Reserved category PwD (male) | 15 years | 45 years |
| Reserved category PwD (female) | 20 years | 45 years |
| Ex-servicemen | Service period + 3 years | As applicable |
Application Fee
| Unreserved (General) | ₹500 |
| Reserved (Women of all categories, SEBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwD, Ex-servicemen) | ₹400 |
The fee is paid online via debit card, net banking, UPI or wallet, and is refundable to candidates who actually appear for the examination. Fee paid against an earlier, superseded application is neither refunded nor adjusted.
Salary and Pay Scale
| Service Period | Pay Structure |
| First 5 years | Fixed pay of ₹40,800 per month |
| After 5 years (subject to satisfactory service) | Regular pay scale ₹29,200 – ₹92,300 (Pay Level-5) |
Note that the fixed pay during the first five years is higher than the entry point of the regular scale — the regular Level-5 scale becomes advantageous over the longer term through annual increments, DA and allowances.
Selection Process
Selection happens through a single competitive written examination followed by document verification — there is no separate interview stage. The exam is CBRT/OMR-based.
| Step | Process | Timeline |
| 1 | Online application submission | 20 July – 3 August 2026 |
| 2 | Fee payment | Up to 6 August 2026 |
| 3 | Admit card release | Expected 1–2 weeks before exam |
| 4 | Written exam (CBRT/OMR) | To be notified separately |
| 5 | Provisional result declaration | A few weeks after the exam |
| 6 | Document verification (2× vacancies) | After result declaration |
| 7 | Final selection & waiting list | After document verification |
How to Apply Online – Step by Step

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Submitting multiple applications: Only the last confirmed application with fee paid is valid. Earlier unconfirmed or unpaid applications are discarded, and fees paid against them are not refunded or adjusted.

- Uploading a mismatched photo: The same photograph must be used throughout the process, including at the exam centre and document verification.
- Ignoring category certificate formats: Non-creamy layer and category certificates must be in the prescribed format and valid as on the relevant date.
- Relying on unofficial sources: Exam date, admit card and results are published only on gsssb.gujarat.gov.in.
Documents Required
- Educational qualification mark sheets and certificates (degree/diploma/NTC/NAC as applicable)
- School leaving certificate or birth certificate for age proof
- Caste / SEBC (non-creamy layer) / EWS certificate in the prescribed format
- Experience certificates, where the qualification route requires experience
- PwD or Ex-servicemen certificate, if claiming relaxation
- Recent passport-size photograph and signature
