GSSSB Staff Nurse Recruitment 2026: Overview

Gujarat Subordinate Services Selection Board (GSSSB) is recruiting Staff Nurses, Class III for the office of the Director of the Employees State Insurance Scheme under Gujarat's Health and Family Welfare Department. This is a direct recruitment drive for the state service, with an initial fixed-pay period before regular appointment can be considered. The notice brings together the nursing recruitment rules, reservation conditions and the terms that will apply if you join.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Initial service period: You start under the state's fixed-pay arrangement for five years. Regular appointment after this period depends on satisfactory service and the conditions in the government resolutions cited in the notice.
  • Court proceedings: The regular-appointment provision remains subject to the outcome of the Supreme Court proceedings identified in the advertisement. Read that condition alongside the initial service terms before deciding whether the arrangement suits you.
  • Gujarat reservation: Reserved-category posts are for candidates belonging to the relevant reserved communities of Gujarat. Your category claim must meet the state's rules, rather than simply match a category name used elsewhere.
  • Women's reservation: If suitable women are unavailable for a reserved place, it may be filled by a man from the same category under the stated rules. Places outside the women's quota remain open to both men and women; they are not a separate male-only quota.
  • Disability recruitment: The board says that reserved vacancies for persons with disabilities in this cadre will be advertised separately through a special recruitment drive. This notice still identifies the disability categories permitted to compete under its applicable conditions.
  • Changes to the drive: The advertised strength may change. The board also keeps the right to alter or cancel the recruitment if circumstances make that necessary, so keep track of its later notices.
  • Application accuracy: Details confirmed in your online form are treated as final for recruitment. A mismatch with your supporting records can lead to cancellation, including after selection or appointment if incorrect information is discovered later.
  • Appointment decision: Passing the competitive examination does not by itself give you a right to appointment. The appointing authority must also be satisfied about your suitability for public service.
  • Travel arrangements: You must reach the allotted examination centre at your own expense. The board will announce examination arrangements and admission-card instructions separately on its website.
  • Contact continuity: Keep the mobile number and email address entered in your form active throughout the recruitment. The board may use these details for examination-related messages.
