GSSSB CCE 2026–27 Group-B Junior Clerk Objective Main Examination

GSSSB Junior Clerk Group-B Main Examination 2026–27: 200-mark objective paper

Only the 994 Junior Clerk places form Group B under Advertisement 468/202627. After the common 150-mark screening prelim, Group-B candidates sit the 200-mark objective (MCQ) main examination lasting 120 minutes. Do not use the Group-A three-paper descriptive syllabus or its nine hours of main-paper time for Junior Clerk.

Appendix G: ten official subject blocks

📊 Group B main examination official weightage

The published highest-weight blocks are government schemes (30) and regional, national and international events/current affairs (30). Together they make 60 of 200 marks. The blocks on Constitution, Economy, Governance, Gujarat history/geography, Gujarati-English and Science/Environment/IT carry 20 each. Public-service ethics and Gujarat culture each carry 10. This split is an official scheme, not a model of likely question numbers within subtopics.

What each official block means for a candidate

Indian State System and Constitution (20): identify constitutional bodies, central and state institutions, legislative and administrative responsibilities. Read facts in context: a name without its authority and purpose is rarely useful for understanding governance.

Indian Economy, State Economy and NITI Aayog (20): connect national and Gujarat economic policy, planning institutions, public finance and economic developments. The question headings do not publish a current-affairs cutoff month.

Public Administration and Governance (20): concentrate on the functioning of government bodies, service delivery, oversight and accountability rather than assuming this is a law-graduate subject paper.

Ethics in Public Service (10): distinguish integrity, conflict of interest, impartiality and conduct in administration. The 10-mark value is fixed; the advertisement does not announce an interview on ethics.

Government Schemes (30): assess the implementing government body, intended beneficiaries, eligibility, nature of the benefit and actual implementation or revision date. Do not confuse similarly named central and Gujarat schemes.

Current events (30): regional, Indian and international developments. Prioritise primary government releases for changing values and dates; no exact monthly coverage window is prescribed.

Gujarat history/geography (20) and cultural heritage (10): keep a Gujarat-centred geographic and cultural reference framework separate from national historical topics.

Gujarati and English (20): both languages are stated together within this block. The notice does not specify a separate 20 marks for each; together the block is worth 20.

Science, Environment and Information Technology (20): read basic concepts, environmental issues and information-technology applications with reference to contemporary administration. The notification gives a subject block, not a list of guaranteed chapters.

Qualifying and ranking logic

The stated minimum is 40% for this main examination, equivalent to 80 of 200 on the announced scheme. That is a minimum threshold, not a predicted or published selection cutoff. Selection also depends on relative marks, relevant reservations and eligibility verification. Preliminary marks do not become part of the final selection result. The advertisement expressly provides no waiting list for the multi-cadre recruitment.

Three numerical traps to avoid

(1) There are 994 Junior Clerk seats, not 1,237; the remaining 243 belong to Group A. (2) A 150-mark common prelim is not a second 150-mark component of final Group-B merit. (3) A government-schemes/current-events combination of 60 marks is not the full General Awareness syllabus of the preliminary paper; they are different stages.
