- Verify that your MPHW / Sanitary Inspector qualification is from a Government-recognised institution — private institutions without recognition are not acceptable
- Ensure your name and date of birth on the online form match exactly with your qualification certificates
- Apply well before the 21 March 2026 deadline — OJAS servers experience heavy traffic in the final days and GSSSB accepts no responsibility for last-minute technical failures
- Do not submit multiple applications — only one application per candidate is permitted
- SC/ST/SEBC/EWS certificates must be in the Gujarat Government’s prescribed format and issued by a competent authority
- Part-A (Reasoning & Maths): These two sections together carry 60 marks and are the most reliable for scoring high. Practice at least 30–50 questions daily from standard books. Focus on Data Interpretation tables and Profit-Loss / Time-Work problems which appear frequently in GSSSB exams.
- Constitution of India (10 marks): Study the NCERT Political Science Class 11 & 12 textbooks alongside the Gujarat Government GK material. Focus on Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles, and emergency provisions.
- Current Affairs (10 marks): Read a monthly current affairs magazine or digest focusing on Gujarat state news, National Health Mission updates, and Union Budget health allocations for 2025-26.
- Comprehension (10 marks): Practice Gujarati paragraph comprehension daily — read the Gujarat Samachar or Sandesh newspaper to improve Gujarati reading speed. For English comprehension, read short editorial passages from standard books.
- Part-B Technical (120 marks): This section carries over 57% of the total marks and is the most important differentiator. Study your MPHW course material thoroughly. Special attention to: all 7 major health committees (Bhore, Mudaliar, Chadda, Mukherjee, Jungalwalla, Kartarsinh, Shrivastav), current Government health schemes, vaccine schedule, and mental health definitions.
- Previous Year Papers: Solve at least 3–5 previous GSSSB MPHW and GPSSB MPHW question papers under timed conditions to understand the difficulty level and question pattern.
- Negative Marking Caution: At 0.25 marks per wrong answer, avoid random guessing. Attempt questions where you are at least 60% confident. Leaving a question blank is safer than guessing in a competitive exam where the margin between selection and rejection is small.
