Important news has surfaced for the candidates appearing for the GPSC exams. There is a change in the timings of the GPSC examinations, in which the date of the Assistant Engineer Civil Class-2 exam has been changed.
The date of the exam has been postponed to April 25. Earlier, the exam was going to take place on April 19; but now it will be conducted on April 25. GPSC Chairman Hasmukh Patel informed that the date of the April 19 exam had to be changed so that the candidates appearing for the exam on April 20 can reach the exam venue.
Advertisement No. 81/2024-25 (Assistant Engineer, Civil, Class-2), 111/2024-25 (Assistant Engineer Civil Class-2, for Visually Challenged/Divyang) and 112/2024-25 (Deputy Executive Engineer, Electrical, Class-2) will be held on 25/04/25 instead of 19/04/25.
Considering that the candidates of Advertisement 81/2024-25, 111/2014-25, 112/2024-25 are appearing for Class-1, 2 examination on April 20, the date of the examination of the subject relevant to the above recruitment had to be changed, so that the candidates can reach the examination venue. Since there are other examinations on the following Sundays, this examination has had to be held on a weekday.
Hasmukh Patel posted on ‘X’, stating that it becomes difficult to change the date of any exam when the Commission conducts a large number of exams. However, wherever possible, efforts are made to change the date in such a way that the candidates get a chance to appear for every exam. Due to this, the date of the exam scheduled on April 27 could not be changed.
He added that when the date is changed, there are other exams taking place on other Sundays. The new date cannot be given on a holiday, so the exam has to be arranged on a day other than a holiday. On the other hand, this situation becomes difficult for working candidates. This issue also poses as a big hurdle while changing dates.
