Recruitment Note: Job Profile — Surveyor, Class-3

A Surveyor, Class-3 posted under the Settlement Commissioner and Director of Land Records (Revenue Department, Gujarat) performs field and office-based land survey and record-keeping duties. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting chain, compass, theodolite, plane table, and GPS-based surveys for land demarcation, boundary settlement, and cadastral record preparation. The surveyor assists in preparation and updating of village maps and property records, measures areas using digital planimeters and Total Station instruments, and inputs data into GIS platforms. The role involves regular field work in rural and semi-urban areas, co-ordination with Revenue officials (Talati, Circle Inspector), participation in court-related land dispute surveys, and filing of accurate field books. The post is transferable across Gujarat, and residential accommodation may be mandatory at institutional postings. Career progression typically leads to Senior Surveyor and then to Revenue Inspector roles through departmental promotion channels.

Recruitment Note: Benefits & Perks Beyond Salary

Beyond the fixed ₹26,000/month during the probationary period, Gujarat Government employees at Level-4 upon regularisation receive: Dearness Allowance (DA) revised bi-annually, House Rent Allowance (HRA) as per posting city, Leave Travel Concession (LTC), General Provident Fund (GPF) contributions, National Pension System (NPS) coverage, Gratuity on completion of service, Medical facilities for self and dependents under Gujarat Government health scheme, Casual Leave (12 days/year), Earned Leave, Medical Leave, and Maternity/Paternity leave entitlements as per rules. Group insurance coverage under the state scheme and Children Education Allowance are also applicable. For postings requiring residential stay, Government quarters are provided. PwD employees also receive special transport allowance as applicable under central/state disability welfare rules.

Recruitment Note: Special Recruitment Drive — Key Policy Points

This recruitment is specifically a Special Recruitment Drive (Khaas Bharti Jhumbesh) to fill backlog vacancies reserved for Persons with Disabilities under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. Since this is a PwD-only drive, there are no separate category-wise (SC/ST/SEBC/EWS) sub-reservations within the vacancy matrix. However, selected candidates belonging to reserved categories (SC/ST/SEBC/EWS) of Gujarat will be adjusted against their respective category vacancies. Candidates from outside Gujarat will be treated as General category. No separate reservation for Women or Ex-Servicemen applies in this drive. If suitable PwD candidates are not found for a particular disability group, those vacancies carry forward to the next recruitment drive — they are not converted to general category posts.

Recruitment Note: Scribe & Compensatory Time Facility

PwD candidates with Benchmark Disability and writing limitations may request a Scribe and/or Compensatory Time (20 minutes per hour of exam). To avail this, candidates must email the required form and supporting medical certificates to so-kh1-gsssb@gujarat.gov.in at least two days before the exam. Candidates with Blindness or Locomotor Disability (Both Arms Affected — BA, 40%+ disability) do not need a separate medical certificate for writing inability — only the Disability Certificate suffices. All other benchmark disability categories must additionally submit Appendix-I (Certificate regarding physical limitation to write) issued by CMO/Civil Surgeon/Medical Superintendent. GSSSB will communicate its decision on the scribe request via email.

💡 Expert Tip

One critical rejection trap in this notification: B.Tech or B.E. Civil Engineering degree holders are explicitly disqualified — only Diploma-level qualifications in the listed 16 Civil branches (or ITI Surveyor course) are accepted. Upload your Diploma certificate carefully and ensure the exact branch name matches one of the 16 variants listed in the notification (e.g., 'Diploma in Civil (Construction)' or 'Diploma in Civil Technology'). Even a minor difference in branch name on your marksheet vs the notification list can trigger rejection at document verification. Additionally, the application window is only 15 days — do not wait till the last day as the OJAS portal can get congested. Also note your Disability Certificate must follow the new Form-V, VI, or VII format under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Rules, 2017 — older format certificates are not accepted.

Common Questions (FAQs)

Q.1 What is the in-hand salary for Surveyor Class-3? ▼

Ans: For the first five years, the salary is a fixed consolidated pay of ₹26,000 per month — no DA or HRA is added during this period, but other allowances per the Finance Department resolution apply. After regularisation (upon satisfactory service), the post moves to Level-4 (₹25,500–₹81,100) under the 7th Pay Commission. With DA, HRA, and other allowances, the in-hand salary after regularisation is approximately ₹40,000–₹48,000 per month.

Q.2 What is the last date to apply online? ▼

Ans: The last date to submit the online application on the OJAS portal (ojas.gujarat.gov.in) is 29/05/2026 by 23:59. Note that the exam fee payment deadline is slightly later — 01/06/2026 by 23:59. Both deadlines must be met separately; submitting the application without paying the fee will result in rejection.

Q.3 Is there any negative marking in the exam? ▼

Ans: Yes. As explicitly stated in Section 19(4) of the official notification, 1/4 mark (0.25 marks) is deducted for every wrong answer. Both Part-A and Part-B carry negative marking. Unanswered questions carry no penalty. Candidates should attempt questions strategically and avoid random guessing.

Q.4 What is the age limit for General Category PwD candidates? ▼

Ans: The base age limit is 18–33 years as on 29/05/2026. General Category PwD male candidates get 10 years relaxation (max age 43). General Category PwD female candidates get 15 years relaxation (max age 45). Reserved Category (SC/ST/SEBC/EWS) PwD males get 15 years relaxation (max 45), and reserved category PwD females get 20 years relaxation (max 45).

Q.5 How to download the GSSSB Notification PDF? ▼

Ans: Visit the official GSSSB website gsssb.gujarat.gov.in and look under the 'Recruitment' or 'Advertisements' section for Advertisement No. 411/202627 — Surveyor, Class-3. Alternatively, visit ojas.gujarat.gov.in, go to Online Application, select GSSSB, find the advertisement and click 'More Details' to view and download the full notification PDF.

Q.6 What is the educational qualification required for Surveyor Class-3? ▼

Ans: Candidates must hold a Diploma in Civil Engineering or one of the 16 specifically listed equivalent branches (e.g., Diploma in Civil Construction, Diploma in Construction Technology, Diploma in Transportation Engineering, etc.) from a recognised institute. Alternatively, a 1–2 year Surveyor course from a Government-recognised ITI is also accepted. Critically, B.Tech or B.E. Civil Engineering degree holders are explicitly NOT eligible for this post.

Q.7 What is the selection process for Surveyor Class-3? ▼

Ans: Selection is based on a single-stage competitive written exam (MCQ-based CBRT/OMR) consisting of Part-A (General Studies, 90 marks) and Part-B (Technical Surveying/Civil, 120 marks), totalling 210 marks over 3 hours. Candidates must score minimum 40% in each part independently. Merit list is prepared disability-group-wise. Top ~2x candidates are called for document verification, after which the final selection and waiting lists are published.

Q.8 Can candidates with B.Tech Civil Engineering apply for Surveyor Class-3? ▼

Ans: No. The notification explicitly states: 'the candidate holding Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering shall not be eligible to apply.' Only Diploma-level Civil Engineering (or the 16 listed equivalent branches) or ITI Surveyor course holders qualify. Over-qualification in this case is a disqualification — not an advantage.
