The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB) has released its much-awaited notification for the recruitment of Additional Assistant Engineer (Class-III) posts. This recruitment is being conducted under Advt. No. 303/2025-26, and it has created a lot of buzz among engineering aspirants in Gujarat.
According to the official notice, the majority of vacancies are for Civil Engineers, with 824 posts announced in this category. Some online portals also mention vacancies for Electrical Engineers, but the exact number (such as the “51 posts” figure circulating online) could not be confirmed from the official OJAS portal. So, candidates should strictly rely on official updates before applying.
The application process is completely online through the OJAS Gujarat portal (ojas.gujarat.gov.in). Candidates can register and fill out their forms between 13th May 2025 to 27th May 2025. In some cases, the dates may be extended, so aspirants are advised to keep checking the portal regularly.
General / Unreserved candidates: ₹500
Reserved categories, Women, PwD, etc.: ₹400
The payment can be made online through the OJAS system.
To be eligible, candidates must hold a Diploma in Civil Engineering or an equivalent qualification. The age limit is set between 18 to 33 years, with relaxations applicable for reserved categories as per government norms.
The recruitment will take place in multiple stages. First, there will be a written examination (Computer Based Test) that will include both general subjects and technical subjects. After qualifying for the exam, shortlisted candidates will go through document verification and other selection formalities before final appointment.
The exam is designed as a single-tier CBT (Computer Based Test). The question paper will have a mix of general knowledge, reasoning, and technical (engineering) subjects, making it essential for candidates to prepare in both directions.
While the bulk of vacancies in this recruitment drive are confirmed for Civil Engineers, there are references to Electrical AAE posts as well. However, the number “51” that is being circulated online for Electrical posts could not be verified from the official notification. If you are specifically waiting for Electrical AAE posts, keep an eye on the OJAS Gujarat official website, as that will be the most authentic source of information.
