GSRTC Helper Recruitment 2026 - Apply Online for 297 Posts - Recruitment 2026
(Apply Online, Last Date, Notification)

All applicants must maintain a strict watch over the critical schedule announced for the GSRTC Helper Recruitment 2026 to ensure their respective applications are submitted without any failure. The immensely detailed official advertisement was publicly disseminated by the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation in the second week of February 2026. The official, dedicated online application portal, flawlessly hosted on the state-run OJAS Gujarat platform, was officially activated for candidate registrations strictly on the 13th of February 2026. Interested and technically eligible candidates have exactly one full month to carefully organize their ITI certificates, disability proofs, and seamlessly complete the multi-step online form. The final, strict, and non-extendable deadline for securely submitting the online application forms is exactly the 12th of March 2026. Candidates are strongly warned against waiting for the absolute last date, as the OJAS servers are highly prone to heavy technical glitches and extreme slowdowns due to massive traffic loads. Dates for any subsequent written OMR test or the direct publication of the document verification merit list will be exclusively updated on the official GSRTC and OJAS websites in due course.

The Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation has structured an incredibly candidate-friendly and highly accessible application fee policy for this specific 2026 recruitment drive. Because this recruitment profoundly emphasizes the Special Drive for Divyang (differently-abled) candidates, the corporation has taken a massive welfare step. According to the official notification parameters, candidates who are officially applying under the strictly reserved Divyang (PwD) categories are absolutely and entirely exempted from paying any standard online application fee. This ensures that severe financial constraints do not aggressively prevent capable differently-abled candidates from securing this highly stable government employment. However, if any candidates from the unreserved or standard categories are applying (subject to specific roster vacancies detailed in the official PDF), they would be required to pay a very nominal standard processing fee (typically around Rs. 250/- to Rs. 300/-) strictly through the online payment gateway integrated directly within the OJAS portal using UPI, Net Banking, or Debit Cards. Candidates are heavily advised to thoroughly check the detailed official PDF notification to confirm their exact fee liability strictly based on their respective reservation category.

For the GSRTC Helper Vacancy 2026, specifically targeting the Special Drive for Divyang candidates, the age limit criteria have been extremely relaxed to legally promote massive and fair inclusion. The absolute minimum age strictly required for all candidates to apply for the Helper position is officially 18 years, as they must be legally recognized adults capable of working in heavily industrial depot environments. To strongly encourage the participation of differently-abled candidates, the maximum upper age limit has been generously extended and legally capped at 45 years. This significant 45-year age limit directly incorporates all the standard constitutional age relaxations legally provided by the Gujarat State Government for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD). Candidates actively claiming these extensive age relaxations must definitively possess a totally valid, medically verified, and currently updated disability certificate strictly issued by a highly competent medical board or the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of a recognized state government hospital. The exact calculation of the age will be formally done as of the closing date of the online application process, which is exactly the 12th of March 2026.
