- MPHW: Candidates should have passed Class 12 and completed the prescribed MPHW or health worker training/course from a recognised institution, as required in the original advertisement.

- Knowledge of Gujarati or Hindi, computer proficiency and registration with a professional authority may be mandatory for certain posts.
- Qualifications must have been obtained by the eligibility cut-off date stated in the original advertisement.
Age Limit
- The minimum and maximum age limits are post-specific and should be checked in the original recruitment notification.
- Upper-age relaxation is generally available to reserved categories, women, persons with benchmark disabilities, ex-servicemen and other eligible applicants under Gujarat government rules.
- The relevant date for calculating age will be the cut-off date specified in the recruitment advertisement.
Fees
- The original application or examination fee is not specified in the answer-key notice.
- There is normally no fee to view or download the provisional answer key.
- If an objection fee applies, candidates must pay the prescribed amount through the method mentioned on the official portal. Refund conditions, if any, will be governed by the notice.
Selection Process
The recruitment process is expected to include the following stages, subject to the rules for each post:
- Written Examination: Candidates are assessed through the notified computer-based or objective-type examination.
- Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates must produce original educational, category, age, registration and identity documents.
- Final Merit and Appointment Formalities: Selection is based on the final answer key, examination marks and applicable recruitment rules, followed by medical or other checks where required.
The provisional answer key is not the final result. GSSSB will examine valid objections before preparing the final key and calculating candidates’ scores.
