GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Eligibility Criteria 2026

Applicants often ask what qualifications are needed for the GSSSB X-Ray Assistant post - the answer covers both educational qualification and age limit, detailed below.

Educational Qualification

Candidates applying for GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Recruitment 2026 must have passed the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC/12th) examination with Physics, Chemistry, and English as subjects, conducted by the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board. This qualification standard has been fixed as per the Health and Family Welfare Department's resolution dated 18 November 2024. In addition, candidates must possess basic computer knowledge as prescribed under the Gujarat Civil Services Classification (General) Rules, 1967, and adequate knowledge of Gujarati and/or Hindi.

Candidates who do not currently hold a computer knowledge certificate can still apply, but they must submit proof of having passed a basic computer knowledge test before the appointing authority prior to appointment - failure to do so will make the candidate ineligible for appointment, and the selection can be cancelled by the appointing authority.

Age Limit

The age of the candidate must be not less than 18 years and not more than 33 years as on 3 August 2026. Reserved category candidates, women, ex-servicemen, and PwD candidates are eligible for age relaxation as per the table below.

Candidates already in Gujarat Government service may also get relaxation in the upper age limit as per the Gujarat Civil Services Classification and Recruitment (General) Rules, 1967. Reservation benefits and age relaxation for SC, ST, SEBC, and EWS candidates apply only to candidates who are originally from Gujarat.

GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Application Fee 2026

The application fee for GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Recruitment 2026 differs for unreserved and reserved category candidates and must be paid online only.

The fee must be paid online through Debit Card, Internet Banking, UPI, or Wallet after the application is confirmed on OJAS, and the last date to pay the exam fee is 6 August 2026 (11:59 PM). Candidates who appear for the examination will get the fee refunded through the same payment mode used, but no refund is given to candidates who do not appear for the exam. Applications for which the fee is not paid are automatically rejected without prior notice, and the fee is non-refundable even if the application itself is later cancelled by the board.

GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Selection Process 2026

Selection for the GSSSB X-Ray Assistant post is based on a single-stage computer-based/OMR written examination followed by document verification, so candidates do not need to appear for multiple test stages. The exam consists of objective-type Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) split into Part-A and Part-B.

The combined duration for Part-A and Part-B is 3 hours (180 minutes), and the exam follows negative marking - 1/4th mark is deducted for every wrong answer. A minimum qualifying standard of 40% applies independently to both Part-A and Part-B for all categories, meaning candidates must clear both sections separately to remain in contention.

After the exam, GSSSB will release a provisional answer key, invite objections, and then publish the final answer key followed by the provisional result. Roughly twice the number of vacancies per category will be called for document verification based on merit, after which the final selection list and waiting list will be published. While exact dates for the exam and result are not yet announced, candidates can expect this stage to follow a few months after the application window closes, based on GSSSB's usual recruitment timelines.

GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Salary and Pay Scale 2026

Selected candidates for GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Recruitment 2026 will initially be appointed on a fixed pay before moving to the regular pay matrix. During the first five years, appointees will receive a fixed monthly pay of ₹26,000 as per the Finance Department's resolutions. After five years, subject to satisfactory service, candidates will be placed in the regular Pay Level-2 of the 7th Pay Commission, ranging from ₹19,900 to ₹63,200 per month, along with other applicable benefits under the relevant government resolutions.

Documents Required for GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Recruitment 2026

Candidates must keep all original certificates ready before applying and during the later document verification stage. Required documents include the HSC/12th mark sheet showing Physics, Chemistry, and English, the school leaving certificate for age proof, category certificate (SC/ST/SEBC/EWS, where applicable, obtained within the validity period specified in the notification), computer knowledge certificate (if available), disability certificate (for PwD candidates, in the format prescribed by the Health and Family Welfare Department circular dated 15 December 2025), ex-servicemen identity card and discharge book (if applicable), and a recent passport-size photograph with white background, taken within one year of the last date of application. Widow candidates claiming the 5% merit weightage must also submit proof of not having remarried at the time of appointment, whenever asked by the board.

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Applying for GSSSB X-Ray Assistant 2026

Many candidates lose out on valid applications due to avoidable errors rather than ineligibility, so it helps to double-check the form carefully before confirming it.

First, always verify your category (caste/SEBC/EWS) selection carefully - GSSSB does not entertain any request to change the category after the application is confirmed.

Second, upload your photo and signature exactly as per the specified size and file format (JPG, under 15 KB), since a mismatched photo across stages can cause identification problems later.

Third, do not confirm the application until every field has been cross-checked against your original certificates, because no correction is possible once the application is confirmed - you would need to submit a fresh application with a new confirmation number and pay the fee again before the last date.

Fourth, remember that paying the fee is a separate, mandatory step after confirming the application; an unpaid application is treated as invalid and rejected without notice.

Finally, keep your registered mobile number and email ID active throughout the recruitment process, as GSSSB sends all exam-related updates via SMS and email to the details submitted in the form.
