The Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) conducts Engineering Services Examination in India to recruit qualified candidates for various engineering posts in the state of Gujarat. The objective of the examination is to select candidates for roles in the government sector in related fields like Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering etc.
GPSC organizes the Engineering Services exam annually to fill up the civil service vacancies such as Deputy Executive Engineer, Assistant Engineer and others in the different engineering departments of the Gujarat state government. The GPSC Engineering Services examination has three phases, namely prelims exam where the General Studies paper is written, mains examination with 3 technical papers, and the interview phase. The prelims exam being an elimination test, shortlists candidates for the mains exam fixing certain cut off marks. The mains exam focuses on checking on the academic knowledge and technical skills through description type papers. It is equally important to note that the final candidates have to go through document check and interview.
