1 Overview
GSSSB CCE — popularly known as Bin Sachivalay Clerk / Office Assistant — is a Combined Competitive Examination that recruits candidates for Clerk and Office Assistant posts across multiple Gujarat Government departments outside the Secretariat (hence 'Bin Sachivalay' — non-Secretariat). It is one of the highest-demand exams in Gujarat due to the huge number of graduate applicants each cycle.
Because a single exam fills vacancies across many departments and offices, GSSSB CCE consistently sees some of the largest applicant pools of any Gujarat state exam, making thorough preparation and previous-year paper practice essential.
