Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) has announced a fresh engineering recruitment for 16 Class-1 and Class-2 posts under Advertisement Nos. 60/2026-27 to 65/2026-27, with the current notice published on 5 November 2026. The vacancies cover Executive Engineer, Deputy Executive Engineer and Assistant Engineer roles in the Gujarat Maritime Board and the Sports Authority of Gujarat. Online applications are scheduled to open at 1:00 PM on 6 November 2026 and remain available until 11:59 PM on 20 November 2026.

The combined recruitment includes Civil, Mechanical/Marine and Electrical engineering posts. At a basic level, candidates need a B.E./B.Tech in the relevant engineering discipline for the advertisement they select. The short-form notice shows no experience requirement for the six advertisements, while complete age, pay, fee and post-specific service conditions are to be checked in the full advertisements on the GPSC/OJAS portals. GPSC has also proposed 17 January 2027 for the Preliminary Test in General Studies for all six advertisements, while the date for the relevant-subject examination will be announced later. The current short notice does not yet provide the detailed question pattern, marks structure, duration, negative marking or full syllabus, so candidates should not rely on an older GPSC recruitment pattern.

It confirms that unreserved candidates may use the notified online or post-office challan payment route, with the challan payment window extending to 21 November 2026 during post-office working hours.
