The Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) has announced a significant recruitment drive for 2020, opening applications for 257 vacancies across Class III posts. The recruitment notification covers two key designations — Deputy Section Officer and Deputy Mamlatdar — roles that hold important administrative responsibilities within the Gujarat state machinery.
The Deputy Mamlatdar position is particularly notable, as it serves as a crucial link between state government administration and local governance in rural and semi-urban areas. Mamlatdars are responsible for land revenue administration, disaster management coordination, and maintaining law and order at the taluka level. Deputy Section Officers, on the other hand, work within various departmental setups, handling file processing, coordination, and administrative support functions.
Candidates interested in applying can submit their forms through the official GPSC portal at gpsc.gujarat.gov.in. The commission typically requires applicants to meet certain educational qualifications, which generally include a bachelor's degree from a recognized university. Age limits also apply, with relaxations provided for candidates belonging to reserved categories as per Gujarat government norms.
This recruitment drive is expected to attract thousands of applicants from across Gujarat, given the reputation of these positions as stable government employment opportunities. Selected candidates will undergo a competitive selection process that typically includes a written examination conducted by GPSC, followed by document verification. The commission usually releases a detailed exam schedule and syllabus alongside the recruitment notification.
The Gujarat government has been actively pursuing multiple recruitment initiatives in recent years to fill vacancies across various administrative tiers, aiming to strengthen public service delivery and reduce workload on existing employees.
