As of February 2025, there have been no official announcements regarding the cancellation of recruitment for 144 Class 3 and Class 4 posts in the Gujarat Agricultural Department. The most recent significant recruitment activity in the department was in mid-2024, when the Gujarat Secondary Service Selection Board (GSSSB) announced 502 vacancies for positions such as Agriculture Assistant (Class-III), Horticulture Assistant, and Manager. The application process for these positions commenced on July 1, 2024, and concluded on July 20, 2024.
Historically, the Gujarat government’s recruitment processes have faced challenges, including exam postponements and cancellations. For instance, the clerk recruitment examination was postponed multiple times between 2019 and 2022 due to administrative reasons and allegations of paper leaks.
Additionally, in 2022, the Gujarat High Court issued a notice after BTech graduates were removed from a selection list in favor of BE graduates, highlighting issues in candidate selection criteria.
In July 2024, the Gujarat government addressed rumors about changes in recruitment policies for Class 3 and Class 4 positions. Officials clarified that reports suggesting a shift from contract-based to permanent recruitment were unfounded, and no such policy changes had been implemented.
Given the absence of official information about the cancellation of recruitment for 144 Class 3 and Class 4 posts in the Gujarat Agricultural Department, it is advisable for candidates and stakeholders to rely on official communications from the department or the GSSSB for accurate and up-to-date information.
