Selection process — written test, then skill test
Selection has three stages — written test → document verification → skill/trade test. The written test may be a computer-based test or a pen-and-paper test. It will normally have 25% General Aptitude and 75% subject or trade questions.
| Posts | Written test / skill test weightage |
|---|---|
| Sr. 1-3 (Translator, Junior Supervisors) | 50% / 50% |
| Sr. 4-10 (Technical Assistants, Nurse) | 40% / 60% |
| Sr. 11-20 (trade posts) | 30% / 70% |
Qualifying marks: at least 40% in both tests for General/EWS, and 35% for SC/ST/PwBD/OBC (on reserved posts). For trade posts the skill test carries 70% weightage, so practise your hands-on work as much as the theory.
Note: the written test date has not been announced yet — GSL will post it on its website later. The number of questions, the duration, the syllabus and the marking scheme are also not stated in the notification.
