Applications run from 10 August 2026 to 31 August 2026, and the online exam is expected in September 2026.

What is the Salary for GPCB Bank Clerk 2026?
Here we must be straight with you. The notification does not state any pay scale, basic pay or salary figure anywhere in its nine pages, and we will not print a guessed number.
| Pay Detail | What the Notification Says |
|---|---|
| Pay scale | Not disclosed |
| Cadre | Clerical cadre, co-operative bank |
| Posting | Within the bank’s area of operation in Gujarat |
Since the bank has published no pay scale, confirm the exact salary and allowances directly at the interview stage or from any corrigendum released later.
We will update this article the moment the bank publishes its pay structure.
What is the Selection Process for GPCB Clerk Recruitment 2026?
Selection has two stages and you must clear both — being strong in only one will not get you the job.
Stage 1: Online Written Examination
A composite objective paper of 200 questions for 200 marks in 180 minutes, conducted only in English. Reach early — anyone reporting after the time printed on the call letter is not allowed to sit, and budget about 240 minutes at the venue once verification and log-in are counted.
| Section | Questions and Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Reasoning | 40 / 40 | 40 minutes |
| English Language | 40 / 40 | 40 minutes |
| Computer Knowledge | 40 / 40 | 30 minutes |
| General Awareness (Banking) | 40 / 40 | 30 minutes |
| Numerical Ability | 40 / 40 | 40 minutes |
There is negative marking of one-fourth mark per wrong answer, so avoid blind guessing. Scores are equated across sessions, so your raw total is not your final score. Tentative centres are Surat, Vapi and Vadodara; you cannot request a change, but the bank may allot you a centre you did not opt for, and may cancel or add centres. Mobile phones, pagers and calculators are banned from the premises — any infringement cancels the candidature, and unfair means or impersonation can get you debarred permanently from any IBPS or bank examination. Prepare using the exam syllabus and pattern guides for banking tests.
Stage 2: Personal Interview
Shortlisted candidates are interviewed at Gandevi only, and must qualify in both stages.
| Carry to Interview | Notes |
|---|---|
| Call letter + application printout | System-generated |
| Date-of-birth proof, photo ID | Original + self-attested copy. Ration Card and Learner’s Driving Licence are not accepted. A name mismatch with the call letter bars you from the exam |
| Graduation marksheets and certificates | Result declared on or before 10 August 2026 (the interview-document list separately prints 01.08.2026) |
| Gujarat domicile certificate | Mandatory |
| NOC from employer | Compulsory if serving in Government, quasi-government, PSU, nationalised bank or financial institution — without it your candidature is not considered |
How to Apply Online for GPCB Bank Clerk Recruitment 2026?
Keep these scanned first: a colour photograph, signature in black ink, left thumb impression, and the hand-written declaration worded exactly as in the notification. The declaration must be in your own handwriting and in English only — written by anyone else, or in another language, and the application is invalid. A signature or declaration in CAPITAL LETTERS is not accepted.
| Step | What to Do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the “Apply Online” link (see Essential Links below) |
| 2 | Click “New Registration” to get your registration number |
| 3 | Fill personal, educational and contact details, then Save & Next |
| 4 | Upload photo, signature, thumb impression and declaration |
| 5 | Check the Preview page — no change is allowed after submission |
| 6 | Click “Complete Registration” and pay the fee online |
| 7 | Submit and print the application and e-receipt |
Apply only once. If you submit multiple forms, only the latest valid one is kept and the fee paid on the others is forfeited, and appearing more than once at the exam or interview gets the candidature cancelled. Sign consistently — if your signature on the attendance sheet or call letter does not match the one you uploaded, you are disqualified.

Your admission at every stage is strictly provisional: the bank can reject the application or cancel the candidature at any stage if eligibility is not met or any information proves false, and can terminate service even after appointment. Appointment is subject to being declared medically fit, and canvassing in any form is a disqualification.
