Recruitment Note: About Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC)

The Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) is a constitutional body established under Article 315 of the Constitution of India, functioning since 1960 after the formation of Gujarat State. Headquartered at Sector 10-A, Gandhinagar, GPSC is responsible for conducting competitive examinations and selecting candidates for Class-1 and Class-2 posts under the Government of Gujarat and its affiliated bodies. The Commission oversees recruitments across departments including Revenue, Engineering, Education, Health, and Public Enterprises. With decades of credibility in merit-based selection, GPSC is regarded as one of the most transparent state public service commissions in India. Its online portal GPSC-OJAS enables candidates across Gujarat and India to apply in a fully paperless manner. GPSC recommendations are binding for the relevant appointing authorities, and the Commission also plays a vital advisory role in civil service discipline and service conditions.

Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB), established under the Gujarat Maritime Board Act 1981, is the statutory authority managing the development, maintenance, and regulation of non-major ports along Gujarat's coastline — the longest in India at over 1,600 km.

Operating under the Ports and Transport Department, Government of Gujarat, GMB plays a critical role in supporting Gujarat's industrial growth and trade ecosystem.

💡 Expert Tip

Both advertisements are separate — if you are eligible for both Mechanical and Civil posts, you must submit SEPARATE applications for each Advt. No. (19 and 20/2026-27) through the GPSC-OJAS portal. Completing OTR (One Time Registration) alone does NOT count as an application. Also remember: selected candidates become employees of Gujarat Maritime Board — not of the Government of Gujarat directly. The Preliminary Test is held in two separate sittings on different dates, and attendance at both is mandatory. Missing even one part will lead to cancellation of candidature.
