Gujarat GPSC, GSSSB & TAT 2026 — State Exam Guide
Three separate Gujarat state recruitment bodies: GPSC (Class 1/2 administrative officers + Assistant Professors), GSSSB (subordinate clerical/technical posts), and SEB (which conducts TAT, the teacher recruitment exam).
- GPSC: Class 1/2 officers (GAS, GCS, Dy. SP, Mamlatdar) + Assistant Professor; confirmed official site gpsc.gujarat.gov.in
- GSSSB: subordinate posts (clerks, technicians, health workers, accountants); confirmed official site gsssb.gujarat.gov.in
- TAT: Teacher Aptitude Test, conducted by State Examination Board (SEB), for Secondary & Higher Secondary teacher posts
- All three test Gujarat-specific GK/history/geography alongside general topics
- *Vacancy figures conflict significantly across sources for both GPSC (71 vs 213) and GSSSB (5,370 vs 7,338) — verify against official PDFs
Overview
| GPSC | Class 1/2 officers · Prelims→Mains→Interview · Gujarati/English mandatory |

| TAT | Teacher recruitment · SEB · Prelims + Mains, pedagogy-focused |
Eligibility
- GPSC (Class 1/2): Bachelor's degree (any discipline); age 20-35 (+5 OBC/SC/ST, up to 40).
- GSSSB: Group A — Bachelor's degree; Group B (e.g. Junior Clerk) — HSC (12th pass); age 20-35 with standard relaxations; Gujarati/Hindi working knowledge required.
- *TAT: age 21-35 with relaxations; specific degree/B.Ed requirement not independently confirmed.
Selection Process & Exam Pattern
- GPSC: Prelims (GS-I & II, objective) → Mains (6 descriptive papers incl. compulsory Gujarati & English) → Interview. Gujarat-specific History/Geography/Culture/Governance strongly emphasized.
- GSSSB: Prelims 100Q/100 marks/1hr (Reasoning 40, Quant 30, English 15, Gujarati 15), +1/-0.25 → Mains (descriptive for Group A, objective for Group B) → Document Verification.

Syllabus
All three carry a strong Gujarat GK/history/geography/culture thread. GPSC and GSSSB Mains also test Indian polity, economy, governance, ethics, and current affairs. TAT is more pedagogy/teaching-aptitude weighted.
Pay Scale
*GPSC Class 1: ₹56,100-1,77,500; Class 2: ₹44,900-1,42,400 (unverified). GSSSB Junior Clerk in-hand reportedly ₹28,000-32,000/month (low-confidence single source). TAT pay figure found was internally inconsistent — do not cite without verification.

Body identities and general selection structures are confirmed via direct official-site fetches for GPSC and GSSSB. Vacancy counts for both conflict sharply across secondary aggregators (GPSC 71 vs 213; GSSSB 5,370 vs 7,338) and must be reconciled against official advertisement PDFs before publishing specific numbers. TAT figures are the least verified of the three.
