GPSC Recruitment 2026 at a Glance

About GPSC

Vacancy Details

The women’s columns show the vacancies reserved for women out of the category-wise posts. If no woman candidate is available for a post reserved for women, it may be allotted to a male candidate of the same category.

Candidates with disability may apply only if they have one of the disabilities listed in the notice: Group B (deaf, hard of hearing), Group C (locomotor disability including cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims and similar) and Group D&E (autism, specific learning disability, mental illness and multiple disabilities). The posts reserved for each group are 00.

Who Can Apply

Educational Qualification

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical) or Technology (Electrical) from a university established or incorporated by or under a Central or State Act in India, or any other educational institution recognised as such or declared a deemed university under section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956.
• Basic knowledge of computer application as prescribed in the Gujarat Civil Services Classification and Recruitment (General) Rules 1967.
• Adequate knowledge of Gujarati or Hindi or both.

Candidates must hold the qualification from a recognised university or institution. A certificate given by a college principal is not accepted in place of the marksheets and degree certificate. Where the university shows no percentage on the marksheet, the candidate must give the formula for calculating it. A degree or experience from a foreign university needs proof of its validity or equivalency in India, within the time limit.

Age Limit

The candidate must be not more than 35 years of age. Age is counted on the last date of online application.

Age Relaxation

Gujarat Government employees who have served for six consecutive months, permanent or temporary, and whose first appointment was within the age limit of the advertised post, get the following. The upper age limit does not apply if experience is sought as a qualification. It also does not apply to an employee appointed to an engineering, medical, agricultural or veterinary degree or diploma post, when experience is not sought. Where experience is not sought, an employee in a cadre from which promotion is possible gets the length of service rendered or a maximum of five years, whichever is less. Employees and officers of the Gujarat Maritime Board get no relaxation where experience is not prescribed. Reserved category candidates who apply for unreserved posts do not get any age relaxation.

Pay Scale

Application Fee

The fee is not refundable under any circumstances. If a candidate applies more than once, the last confirmed application with fee is considered for unreserved candidates.

How to Apply for GPSC Recruitment 2026

1. Complete One Time Registration (OTR) first. OTR is mandatory, but registering alone does not count as an online application.
2. Apply online at gpsc-ojas.gujarat.gov.in between 6 November 2026, 13:00 hours and 20 November 2026, 23:59 hours.
3. Read the advertisement number (64/2026-27) and the post name carefully before applying.
4. Pay the fee if you are a candidate who must pay one, online or by post office challan.
5. Confirm the application only after checking all details filled in.

The procedure for applying and paying the fee is shown at https://gpsc.gujarat.gov.in/HowtoApplyPay. Do not send a physical copy of the application or any documents to the Commission. Documents are uploaded online later, only by candidates eligible for scrutiny.

• Marksheets of all years/semesters and degree certificates, self-attested.
• SSC certificate as proof of date of birth.
• Caste, non-creamy layer (NCL) or EWS certificate, in the prescribed format, for reserved category candidates.

• Affidavit of not having remarried, for widow candidates.

Selection and Interview

Selection is by a preliminary test followed by an interview. Candidates are called for interview after scrutiny of applications, in order of preliminary test merit.

Preliminary Test

The medium is Gujarati unless the Commission decides otherwise. The test is generally held at Gandhinagar/Ahmedabad, and candidates attend at their own expense. A candidate scoring less than 15% in the preliminary test is not eligible for the interview. A Consent Form and Consent Deposit may be taken for appearing in the exam, with detailed instructions published later. The syllabus is on gpsc.gujarat.gov.in and gpsc-ojas.gujarat.gov.in.

Interview and Final Result

For 4 or more vacancies, the number of candidates called for interview is 3 times the number of vacancies or 20, whichever is higher. The interview carries 100 marks. Final selection is on 50% weight of the preliminary test marks (out of 300) and 50% weight of the interview marks (out of 100): preliminary marks x 50/300 plus interview marks x 50/100. The final result will be published within 10 working days after the interview is completed.
