The published result is provisional and candidate-wise: it lists normalised marks and applicable additional marks for each candidate, so you can see exactly where you stand rather than just a pass or fail. The final answer key and the candidate response sheet were released the same day, which means you can match your answers against the key before deciding your next move. The results of 41 candidates have been kept reserved.
Candidates who qualify in the preliminary stage move to the Main Examination. The Group A Main Exam is tentatively set for 28-11-2026 and 29-11-2026, and it carries three descriptive papers — Gujarati, English and General Studies — worth 350 marks in all. The Group B Main Exam is a single objective paper of 200 marks, and its date has not been announced yet. Because the Group A dates are still tentative, confirm the final schedule on the GSSSB portal before booking travel or leave.
The Gujarat Subordinate Services Selection Board conducts recruitment for Class III posts across Gujarat government departments, including the Combined Competitive Examination for Group A and Group B cadres.
