💡 Expert Tip

With 24 vacancies — more than double the Mechanical post in this same notification — this Civil AE post at GMB is highly sought after. One crucial point: this recruitment is for the Gujarat Maritime Board, NOT Gujarat state government, so transfers can happen to any of GMB's port locations along Gujarat's 1,600 km coastline. For the Preliminary Test, the Civil Engineering paper (Part-2, 200 marks) typically covers Structural Analysis, RCC Design, Geotechnical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Construction Materials, and Environmental Engineering. Start preparation with previous GPSC AE Civil papers. Also remember: the CONSENT DEPOSIT deadline of 20/06/2026 at 10:00 AM is non-negotiable — miss it and your application gets cancelled with no admit card issued.
