Applicants often ask what qualifications are needed for the GSSSB X-Ray Assistant post - the answer covers both educational qualification and age limit, detailed below. Educational Qualification Candidates applying for GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Recruitment 2026 must have passed the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC/12th) examination with Physics, Chemistry, and English as subjects, conducted by the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board.

In addition, candidates must possess basic computer knowledge as prescribed under the Gujarat Civil Services Classification (General) Rules, 1967, and adequate knowledge of Gujarati and/or Hindi. Candidates who do not currently hold a computer knowledge certificate can still apply, but they must submit proof of having passed a basic computer knowledge test before the appointing authority prior to appointment - failure to do so will make the candidate ineligible for appointment, and the selection can be cancelled by the appointing authority. Age Limit The age of the candidate must be not less than 18 years and not more than 33 years as on 3 August 2026. Reserved category candidates, women, ex-servicemen, and PwD candidates are eligible for age relaxation as per the table below.

Candidates who appear for the examination will get the fee refunded through the same payment mode used, but no refund is given to candidates who do not appear for the exam. Applications for which the fee is not paid are automatically rejected without prior notice, and the fee is non-refundable even if the application itself is later cancelled by the board.

Selection for the GSSSB X-Ray Assistant post is based on a single-stage computer-based/OMR written examination followed by document verification, so candidates do not need to appear for multiple test stages. The exam consists of objective-type Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) split into Part-A and Part-B. Part Subject Marks Part-A Reasoning & Data Interpretation 30 Part-A Numerical/Quantitative Aptitude 30 Part-A Constitution of India, Current Affairs, Gujarati & English Comprehension 30 Part-A Total - 90 Part-B Subject-related and job-relevant questions 120 Grand Total 210 Questions 210 Marks The combined duration for Part-A and Part-B is 3 hours (180 minutes), and the exam follows negative marking - 1/4th mark is deducted for every wrong answer. A minimum qualifying standard of 40% applies independently to both Part-A and Part-B for all categories, meaning candidates must clear both sections separately to remain in contention. After the exam, GSSSB will release a provisional answer key, invite objections, and then publish the final answer key followed by the provisional result. Roughly twice the number of vacancies per category will be called for document verification based on merit, after which the final selection list and waiting list will be published. While exact dates for the exam and result are not yet announced, candidates can expect this stage to follow a few months after the application window closes, based on GSSSB's usual recruitment timelines.
