On March 10, 2026, GSSSB released the Question Paper for the year, which candidates can download from the official website gsssb.gujarat.gov.in. This release is crucial for those preparing for upcoming examinations.
In addition to the examination materials, GSSSB is currently accepting applications for the Junior Geologist Recruitment 2026. There are 43 openings available for this position, which is expected to attract a large number of applicants.
Application Details
The application process for the Junior Geologist positions began on March 6, 2026, and will continue until March 20, 2026. Candidates are required to pay an application fee, which is set at Rs 500 for the General Category and Rs 400 for SC, ST, and Women candidates. The last date for fee payment is March 23, 2026.

Next Steps
As the application deadline approaches, candidates are encouraged to prepare their submissions promptly. Observers anticipate that the recruitment process will be competitive, given the number of openings and the interest in government positions.
