What is the Salary for GSPCB Junior Environmental Engineer and Officer 2026?
Both posts are at Pay Level 6. The notification does not give a rupee figure or list allowances, so please check the official pay matrix of the Goa Government for the exact amount. Do not trust unofficial salary numbers for these posts. What the notice does confirm is that both posts sit in the same pay level, so the Engineer and the Officer start on the same pay band and the choice between them should depend on your degree, not on pay.
What is the Selection Process for GSPCB Recruitment 2026?
Selection is strictly on marks in the written examination. There is no allocation of marks for educational qualifications. The written test is followed by document verification, where eligibility is checked.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Written Exam Marks | 75 |
| Duration | One and a half hours |
| Question Type | Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) |
| Reporting Time | 30 minutes before the exam |
| Subject (both posts) | Marks |
|---|---|
| Engineer: Engineering subjects, Officer: Environmental Science | 30 |
| General Knowledge / Reasoning ability aptitude | 35 |
| Knowledge of Konkani | 10 |
The marks split is only indicative, and minor changes may be made when the final paper is set. Konkani questions come first in the paper.
| Category | Minimum Passing Marks |
|---|---|
| Unreserved | 45% |
| OBC | 40% |
| ST / PwD | 35% |
If two candidates get equal marks, merit is decided by date of birth. If the date of birth is also the same, the one with higher educational qualification is placed higher. GSPCB will also keep a waiting list valid for one year. The syllabus is yet to be uploaded on the official website, and the exam date will be told later through the website and the local daily. Because the Konkani paper is a pass-or-fail hurdle, practise it from day one: even a high score in the other subjects does not help if you miss the 4 marks in Konkani. Meanwhile, use our syllabus page for preparation.
Candidates with visual impairment, cerebral palsy or locomotor disability get compensatory time of 20 minutes for every hour of the exam. Inform GSPCB well in advance if you need a scribe, reader or lab assistant.
