Important: This Is a “Common” Admit Card — Read Carefully
GPSC has issued a single Common General Studies Hall Ticket covering multiple Assistant Engineer advertisements simultaneously
This admit card applies to Assistant Engineer (Civil & Mechanical) positions under three separate recruiting bodies: Roads & Buildings Department, GWSSB (Gujarat Water Supply & Sewerage Board), and GMB (Gujarat Maritime Board)
If you applied for multiple eligible AE advertisements, you will still receive only ONE common hall ticket — after giving your online consent during the process — not a separate admit card per advertisement
This Common Preliminary Test score will be used across all the advertisements you’re eligible and consented for, avoiding the need to sit for multiple separate prelims

Printout of the online application form/confirmation slip (recommended backup)

Full Selection Process — What Happens After Prelims
Stage 1: Common General Studies Preliminary Examination (26 July 2026) — objective-type screening test, qualifying in nature
Stage 2: Mains Examination (Descriptive) — subject-specific papers in Civil/Mechanical Engineering for candidates who clear Prelims
Stage 3: Interview/Viva-Voce — for candidates shortlisted based on Mains performance
Stage 4: Document Verification — original certificates for education, age, category, language qualification, and experience (if any)
Final Selection: Combined Mains + Interview marks determine the final merit list; Prelims marks are NOT carried forward to final merit (standard GPSC pattern)
Note: The admit card and exam schedule for each subsequent stage (Mains, Interview) are released separately on the GPSC website closer to each respective stage — always keep checking gpsc.gujarat.gov.in and gpsc-ojas.gujarat.gov.in for updates.

Unable to download (Confirmation Number/DOB not matching): Double-check the exact Confirmation Number from your original application receipt; if the issue persists, it may indicate an incomplete application — contact GPSC support directly

Last-Minute Preparation Tips for the Prelims (26 July 2026)
Revise General Studies fundamentals — Indian Polity, History, Geography, Gujarat-specific GK, Current Affairs and General Science, since the Prelims is a General Studies-focused screening test rather than a technical paper
Practice previous GPSC Prelims papers to understand the difficulty level and commonly repeated question patterns
Since it’s a common/joint prelims, competition may be higher due to the pooled candidate base across R&B, GWSSB, and GMB advertisements — aim to maximize accuracy over attempting every question
Reach your exam centre at least 45-60 minutes early — GPSC centres typically involve biometric/ID verification before entry, and the exam window is a tight 1 hour (11:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
Keep your admit card and ID proof easily accessible, not buried in a bag, since checks happen at multiple points before you reach your seat
Start Mains preparation in parallel — core Civil/Mechanical Engineering subjects r equire sustained study, so don’t wait for the Prelims result to begin
