The Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) has officially announced the release of call letters for its 2026 preliminary examination, marking a significant step forward in the recruitment cycle for state administrative positions. Aspiring candidates who had submitted their applications earlier this year can now access and download their admit cards directly from the commission's official portal at gpsc.gujarat.gov.in.
The preliminary examination serves as the first screening stage in the GPSC recruitment process, which ultimately leads to appointments in Gujarat's civil services, including roles such as Gujarat Administrative Service, Gujarat Police Service, and other state-level administrative and judicial positions. The admit card contains crucial details including the candidate's name, examination centre allocation, reporting time, and instructions that applicants must follow on the day of the test.
Candidates are advised to carefully verify all information printed on their downloaded hall tickets. Any discrepancies in personal details or examination centre assignments should be reported to the commission immediately through the grievance cell available on the official website. The commission has also reminded applicants to carry a valid photo identity proof along with the printed copy of their admit card to the examination venue.
The GPSC preliminary exam typically consists of objective-type questions covering general studies, aptitude, and regional language components. Only candidates who qualify the cutoff marks in the preliminary stage will be eligible to appear for the main written examination, which is followed by an interview round for final selection.
This recruitment cycle is expected to fill thousands of vacant positions across various departments in the Gujarat government, making it one of the most competitive public service examinations in the state. Thousands of aspirants from across India have participated in this year's selection process, drawn by the prestige and stability associated with GPSC-appointed roles.
