GSSSB Physiotherapist Recruitment 2026 - Apply Online for 212 Posts - Recruitment 2026
(Apply Online, Last Date, Notification)

Maintaining a strict timeline is absolutely vital for all aspirants targeting the GSSSB Physiotherapist Recruitment 2026. The official, comprehensive recruitment advertisement was formally issued by the board in the fourth week of February 2026. The online application portal, exclusively managed by OJAS (Online Job Application System) Gujarat, officially started accepting candidate applications starting on the 24th of February 2026. Candidates are strongly urged and advised to initiate their detailed application process without any delay to completely avoid the severe server load and technical crashes typically experienced on the final days. The absolute last date to successfully submit the online application form and upload all necessary scanned documents is the 5th of March 2026. The strict deadline for offline fee payment (if applicable via post office challan) usually extends just a day or two beyond the core application deadline, but online payment is highly recommended for instant application confirmation. The tentative schedule for the CBRT written examination, hall ticket download dates, and final answer key publications will be officially notified subsequently on the official GSSSB website.

The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board has established a highly reasonable and affordable application fee structure to actively facilitate maximum participation from eligible candidates across the entire state. General or Unreserved category candidates are required to pay a very nominal application fee of Rs. 100/-, plus any applicable postal or bank transaction internet charges, to successfully complete their registration process. This fee is utilized purely to manage the extensive logistics of conducting state-wide written examinations transparently. In stark contrast, to heavily support candidates from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds, individuals officially belonging to the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC), Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), Ex-Servicemen, and Persons with Disabilities (PwD) are completely and entirely exempted from paying any basic application fee. The required fee can be paid either securely via online modes (Net Banking, Credit/Debit Cards, UPI) or through the offline mode by generating a physical challan and depositing the amount at designated post offices or bank branches before the deadline.

The age limit is a highly critical factor for determining eligibility for the GSSSB Physiotherapist Class-3 Recruitment 2026. According to the detailed official notification, candidates applying for these medical posts must be at least 18 years of age, demonstrating legal adulthood and the profound maturity required for a sensitive healthcare profession. The maximum age limit is strictly fixed at 35 years for unreserved category candidates as of the crucial date (which is designated as the final date of application, i.e., 05-03-2026). The Gujarat Government generously offers extensive age relaxations to reserved category candidates. Candidates legally belonging to the SC, ST, SEBC (Socially and Educationally Backward Classes), and EWS categories of Gujarat origin are typically granted a flat 5-year relaxation in the upper age limit. Female candidates belonging to the unreserved category get a 5-year relaxation, while female candidates from reserved categories can avail up to 10 years of total age relaxation. Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwD) are eligible for an extended age relaxation of up to 10 years depending entirely on the severity of their certified disability.
