Eligibility Criteria, Fee Structure, and Selection Procedure
Applicants must possess the qualifications prescribed by the Government of Gujarat for higher secondary teachers. Final-year postgraduate and B.Ed. students for the 2025-26 academic year were also eligible to apply, provided they could submit the necessary documentary proof before the final selection procedure.
The examination fee is set at Rs 500 for General category candidates and Rs 400 for SC, ST, SEBC, EWS, and PH categories. All fees must be paid online and are strictly non-refundable.
