The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB) has a history of conducting competitive examinations for various posts. This established framework is crucial for ensuring that qualified candidates are selected for government positions in Gujarat.
Recent Developments
On March 10, 2026, GSSSB released the Question Paper for the year, which candidates can download from the official website gsssb.gujarat.gov.in. This release is a significant step in the examination process, allowing candidates to prepare effectively.
In addition to the question paper release, GSSSB is currently accepting applications for the Junior Geologist Recruitment 2026. This recruitment drive is particularly notable as it offers 43 openings for the position.
Application Details
The application period for the Junior Geologist positions commenced on March 6, 2026, and will close on March 20, 2026. Candidates are required to pay a fee of Rs 500 for the General Category and Rs 400 for SC/ST/Women categories, with the last date for fee payment set for March 23, 2026.
Salary Information
Successful candidates will receive a salary of Rs 49,000 per month for the first five years. After this period, the salary will range from Rs 39,900 to Rs 1,26,600, reflecting the government’s commitment to providing competitive compensation for civil service roles.
Reservation Policies
The GSSSB also adheres to a reservation policy that allocates 27 percent of positions for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in direct recruitment to civil posts and services. This policy was established by an office memorandum dated September 8, 1993, and is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to promote inclusivity in public service.
The minister has indicated that the ministry regularly reviews schemes aimed at the welfare of OBCs, ensuring that these policies remain relevant and effective.
