GPSC Assistant Engineer Civil Recruitment 2026 Overview

Important Dates

Application Fee

Vacancy Details

UR = Unreserved (open to all), EWS = Economically Weaker Section, SEBC = Socially and Educationally Backward Classes, SC = Scheduled Caste, ST = Scheduled Tribe. The notice sets aside no seats for women, persons with disability or ex-servicemen in either advertisement (all shown as 00). They can still apply, and the age relaxation and fee rules below still apply to them.

Eligibility Criteria

Disability types that can apply (the same for both posts, except where noted):

Age relaxation on the 35-year limit:

The rule for Gujarat Government employees has four conditions. The English text of the last condition names the Gujarat Maritime Board, while the Gujarati text says Gujarat Government employees, so read the official notice if this applies to you.

So if you are 38 and belong to SC, ST, SEBC or EWS in Gujarat, you can still apply, because the 5 extra years take your limit to 40. A woman from those groups can go up to 45. If you apply for an unreserved seat, you get no relaxation.

Who Should Apply

• You will work for the Sports Authority of Gujarat, not the Gujarat Government. The notice says selected candidates will not be treated as Gujarat Government employees, so think about this if you want a post inside a government department.
• If you hold a civil engineering degree, you can apply for both posts, since the qualification and age limit are the same. Deputy Executive Engineer is the higher post (Level 9, entry pay Rs. 53,100). Each post needs its own application and its own fee.
• With only 4 posts in each advertisement, most reserved groups have 0 or 1 seat. No seat is reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates in either one, and the Scheduled Tribe seat is in the Deputy Executive Engineer post only. They can still compete for unreserved seats, but with no age relaxation.
• The test is in Gujarati unless the Commission decides otherwise. The rules ask only for adequate Gujarati or Hindi, so if Hindi is your stronger language, check the test medium before you apply.
• The preliminary test is usually held at Gandhinagar or Ahmedabad at your own cost, and you must attend every stage or your candidature is cancelled.

Selection Process

The Commission calls this many candidates to the interview, counted category by category:

In short, the written test is the first filter, and its marks stay with you: they make up half of your final score, and the interview makes up the other half. Scoring below 15% in the test ends your chance.

Salary and Benefits

In plain terms, Level 9 and Level 8 are positions on the government pay matrix (a chart of pay grades). A Deputy Executive Engineer starts at a basic pay of Rs. 53,100 and an Assistant Engineer at Rs. 44,900. The notice does not mention allowances such as dearness allowance or house rent allowance.

How to Apply

1. Go to the GPSC OJAS portal (gpsc-ojas.gujarat.gov.in). If you have not done the One Time Registration (OTR, a one-time sign-up that saves your details), do it first. OTR alone is not an application.
2. Click Online Application, then Apply. Read the advertisement through the Details button, click Apply against Advt. 62/2026-27 or 63/2026-27, and enter your OTR number and date of birth.
3. Fill the one-page form with your personal and contact details (type your mobile number and e-mail yourself, twice, with no copy-paste), your education, and upload your photo and signature.
4. Check every detail, then save and confirm. Note your Application Number and Confirmation Number, and print the confirmed form.
5. General-category candidates then pay the fee, online or by challan at a post office by 21.11.2026. If you want both posts, apply again separately for the other advertisement.

Note: Do not send printed forms or documents by post or e-mail. They are not accepted, and such candidates are treated as ineligible.

Documents Required

You do not send any documents now. Only candidates called for scrutiny (document checking) after the preliminary test upload them, on the Commission’s certificate portal (gpsc-iass.gujarat.gov.in), within the time the Commission sets.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Applying once and thinking it covers both posts. Each advertisement needs its own form and its own fee.
• Posting or e-mailing printouts and documents. Papers sent that way are not accepted, and you are treated as ineligible.
• Filing more than one application for the same advertisement. If you spot an error, use the Edit option before 20.11.2026, because no corrections are accepted after the deadline.
• Copy-pasting your mobile number or e-mail. You must type each one twice yourself, since all updates are sent there.
• Uploading an old or dark-background photo. It must have a white background and show the date it was taken, within 1 year before 20.11.2026.
• Paying the fee late. A general-category candidate who has not paid cannot download the call letter, and must pay a Rs. 500 processing charge to unblock it.
