Candidates applying for GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Recruitment 2026 must have passed the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC/12th) examination with Physics, Chemistry, and English as subjects, conducted by the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board. This qualification standard has been fixed as per the Health and Family Welfare Department's resolution dated 18 November 2024. In addition, candidates must possess basic computer knowledge as prescribed under the Gujarat Civil Services Classification (General) Rules, 1967, and adequate knowledge of Gujarati and/or Hindi .

The application fee for GSSSB X-Ray Assistant Recruitment 2026 differs for unreserved and reserved category candidates and must be paid online only. The fee must be paid online through Debit Card, Internet Banking, UPI, or Wallet after the application is confirmed on OJAS, and the last date to pay the exam fee is 6 August 2026 (11:59 PM) . Candidates who appear for the examination will get the fee refunded through the same payment mode used, but no refund is given to candidates who do not appear for the exam. Applications for which the fee is not paid are automatically rejected without prior notice, and the fee is non-refundable even if the application itself is later cancelled by the board.

Selection for the GSSSB X-Ray Assistant post is based on a single-stage computer-based/OMR written examination followed by document verification, so candidates do not need to appear for multiple test stages. The exam consists of objective-type Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) split into Part-A and Part-B. The combined duration for Part-A and Part-B is 3 hours (180 minutes) , and the exam follows negative marking - 1/4th mark is deducted for every wrong answer. A minimum qualifying standard of 40% applies independently to both Part-A and Part-B for all categories, meaning candidates must clear both sections separately to remain in contention. After the exam, GSSSB will release a provisional answer key, invite objections, and then publish the final answer key followed by the provisional result. Roughly twice the number of vacancies per category will be called for document verification base
