The Senior Laboratory Assistant post follows the same fixed-pay structure initially, moving to Level-4 (₹25,500–₹81,100) after five years. Both pay structures remain subject to the outcome of Supreme Court SLP No. 14124/2012 and SLP No. 14125/2012. Scribe and Compensatory Time Facility for Divyang Candidates Candidates with Benchmark Disability or a temporary disability affecting their ability to write may request a scribe and/or compensatory time (20 minutes extra per hour) for the exam. Candidates with Blindness or Locomotor disability (both arms affected) of 40% or more need only submit their disability certificate. Other eligible candidates must also submit a medical certificate (Appendix-I format) confirming their writing limitation, issued by the Chief Medical Officer/Civil Surgeon/Medical Superintendent. Requests must be emailed to [email protected] at least 2 days before the exam, after the admit card download notice is published; instructions and forms will be available at https://gsssb.gujarat.gov.in/Home/ph. Requests received after this window will not be considered. Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes Photo/signature errors: Scan your photo and signature separately, save each as a JPG file within the prescribed size limit, and double-check dimensions before uploading - mismatched sizes are a common reason uploads fail. Payment gateway failures: If a transaction fails or hangs after the amount is deducted, wait and check your Payment Receipt status from the portal before retrying, rather than attempting a second payment immediately. Browser/device issues: Use an updated browser and a stable internet connection; clear cache if pages don't load correctly, and avoid submitting the form via mobile browsers if you face layout issues. Save your credentials: Note down your Application Number and Confirmation Number immediately after they are generated, and keep printed/saved copies of your application and fee receipt - these cannot be recovered easily later. Avoid last-day rush: Application portals see heavy traffic close to the deadline, which can cause slow loading or failed submissions - try to complete your application and fee payment well before the last date. |

Selection Process
Selection is conducted through a single-stage objective competitive examination (CBRT/OMR mode) consisting of two parts: Part-A (90 marks): Logical Reasoning & Data Interpretation (30), Quantitative Aptitude (30), and Indian Constitution, Current Affairs, and Gujarati & English Comprehension (30) Part-B (120 marks): Questions related to the candidate's subject/post A combined total of 210 questions for 210 marks are asked, with a combined duration of 3 hours (180 minutes). Negative marking applies - ¼ mark is deducted for every wrong answer. A minimum qualifying standard of 40% applies independently to both Part-A and Part-B for all candidates. After the exam, GSSSB will release a provisional answer key, invite objections, and then publish the final answer key, followed by the provisional result. Candidates within roughly twice the number of category-wise vacancies (based on merit, subject to qualifying marks) will be called for document verification. The final selection list and waiting list are then prepared category- and disability-group-wise based on merit. The notification does not state exam dates, result timelines, or interview details beyond these stages. Widowed women candidates and candidates who have represented in recognised national/international, inter-university, or All India School-level sports get a 5% bonus on their marks for merit purposes, subject to producing the required certificates at verification.
