Gujarat GSSSB Additional Assistant Engineer Mechanical Recruitment 2026: 7 Posts Apply by November 9
The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board has announced a recruitment drive for 7 Additional Assistant Engineer (Mechanical), Class-3 posts in the Gujarat Maritime Board, which works under the state’s Ports and Transport Department. The vacancies are split across two advertisements: Advertisement Number 463/2026-27 carries 6 regular posts, while Advertisement Number 464/2026-27 is a special recruitment drive carrying 1 post for candidates with disabilities. Candidates can apply online only through the Gujarat OJAS portal at ojas.gujarat.gov.in, and the application window runs from 26 October 2026 to 9 November 2026.
The post is a Class-3 engineering role in the Gujarat Maritime Board, the organisation that looks after the state’s port and maritime infrastructure. Mechanical engineers in such roles work on the maintenance, operation and upkeep of mechanical systems and equipment connected with port operations, and the recruitment is aimed at strengthening the board’s technical workforce. Because the number of posts is small, applicants should read the post-wise and category-wise details in the official notification carefully before choosing which advertisement to apply under.
Eligibility centres on a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or an accepted equivalent qualification from a recognised institution. Applicants should check the notification for the exact list of accepted qualifications, since equivalent qualifications are defined in the advertisement itself. The age limit is 18 to 33 years as on 9 November 2026, with relaxations for reserved categories as per Gujarat government rules. The single post under the special drive, Advertisement 464/2026-27, is reserved for candidates with a hearing impairment, in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing categories, and applicants for that post must meet the disability criteria set out in the notification.
On pay, selected candidates will receive a fixed salary of Rs 49600 per month for the first five years. After that period, they move to the regular pay structure at Pay Level 7, in the scale of Rs 39900 to Rs 126600, subject to applicable allowances and government norms. The selection process is a competitive examination in multiple-choice format, conducted through the Computer Based Response Test or Optical Mark Recognition method, followed by the remaining stages of the recruitment process as prescribed in the notification.
To apply, candidates should first complete or update their One-Time Registration on the OJAS portal, then open the Online Application section, select GSSSB, and choose the correct advertisement number for Additional Assistant Engineer (Mechanical), Class-3. They must fill in their personal and educational details, upload the required documents, verify every entry, and confirm the form before the deadline of 9 November 2026 at 11:59 pm. The last date for fee payment is 12 November 2026, so applicants should not confuse the two dates: the form itself must be submitted by 9 November, even though fee payment remains open for a few more days. Candidates are advised to keep a copy of the confirmed application and the fee receipt, and to watch gsssb.gujarat.gov.in for the examination schedule and call letters.
