GPSC Launches Avasar Module to Help Unselected Aspirants Find Jobs

Gandhinagar: The Gujarat Public Service Commission has developed the ‘Avasar’ module to create employment opportunities for candidates who were unsuccessful in competitive examinations. This announcement was made by the Secretary of the Gujarat Public Service Commission, Sudhir Patel, today in the state capital.

Explaining the initiative, Patel said that candidates who reach the interview stage in the GPSC recruitment process have already cleared both the Preliminary and Main examinations. While they may not have been selected in the final result, they have already proven their competence by reaching the interview stage. GPSC has developed the Avasar module to help such candidates access employment opportunities.

Explaining the background of the module, Patel said that the GPSC will act as an intermediary to facilitate alternative and quality employment opportunities for candidates who were unsuccessful in the final recruitment results or placed on the waiting list. These opportunities will be available in Government of Gujarat and Government of India public sector undertakings, private companies, cooperative institutions, and other recognised organisations. The initiative aims to provide these organisations with access to hardworking, talented, and dedicated human resources while creating employment opportunities for deserving candidates.

He stated that prior consent from candidates is mandatory to avail the benefits of this initiative. Candidates who wish to share their details, including their name, mobile number, email address, and educational qualifications, with participating organisations will have to provide online consent by visiting the GPSC OJAS Portal at https://gpsc-ojas.gujarat.gov.in/. An OTP-based verification system has been introduced as a security measure. More than 18,000 candidates who were unsuccessful or placed on the waiting list in the final results of over 415 Class I and Class II recruitments completed before 1 July 2026 during the last five years can submit their consent through this module. Additionally, candidates appearing in future recruitments will be given the option to provide this consent while filling out their application forms. GPSC has also prepared a database categorised into administrative, medical, educational, and technical cadres.

Highlighting the Commission’s commitment to data security, the Secretary stated that organisations receiving candidates’ data will be permitted to use it solely for employment-related purposes and not for any other purpose. The complete responsibility for safeguarding the data will rest with the respective organisation. The Commission will provide controlled access only to eligible government departments, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), and recognised private companies. Furthermore, GPSC will function only as a ‘medium’. Therefore, the Commission will bear no official or legal responsibility regarding employment terms, salary, or any legal disputes arising from jobs secured through this platform. Shri Patel requested candidates to visit the Commission’s official website for more information.

Key Features of the ‘Avasar’ Module

(1) Data Privacy: Organisations receiving candidate information from the Commission will be required to provide an undertaking that the information will be used only for providing employment opportunities and will not be shared with any third party or used for any other purpose. The respective organisation will bear complete responsibility for data security.

The Commission will strictly ensure the security of candidates’ data. Only essential details such as the candidate’s name, mobile number, email ID, and educational qualifications will be shared with eligible organisations registered on the platform. After receiving the information from the Commission, the concerned organisation may shortlist suitable candidates and select them through its own recruitment process.

(2) Candidate Consent: Candidate details will be made available on the platform only after obtaining their prior consent and willingness. For future recruitment advertisements, candidates will be able to provide online consent through the GPSC-OJAS portal while submitting their applications.

(3) Opportunity for Candidates from Previous Recruitments: Candidates who were unsuccessful in the final results or included in the waiting list of Class I and Class II recruitment processes conducted by the Commission and completed during the last five years will be able to avail the benefits of this initiative by submitting their online consent through the “Avasar” module on the GPSC-OJAS portal.

Candidates will have to provide the advertisement number and confirmation number while giving their consent. After selecting the relevant advertisement year, candidates will be able to view all advertisements issued during that year. In case a candidate has forgotten the confirmation number, a facility has also been provided to retrieve it. To prevent any person from submitting consent on behalf of another candidate, an OTP verification system has been implemented. The OTP will be sent to the candidate’s registered mobile number and registered email ID, and the consent process will be completed only after entering the OTP.

(4) Eligibility Criteria: Only legally established government departments, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), and private companies recognised by the Commission will be provided controlled access to candidate information based on their recruitment requirements.

(5) Role of the Commission: Under the “Avasar” initiative, the Gujarat Public Service Commission will function only as a ‘medium’. The Commission will have no official or legal responsibility regarding employment conditions, salary structure, service rules, or legal disputes related to jobs offered in the public or private sector through this platform.

The Commission shall have unrestricted authority to amend the rules of the Avasar initiative at any time.

Eligible candidates are advised to regularly visit the Commission’s official website https://gpsc.gujarat.gov.in and the GPSC-OJAS portal for further information regarding this initiative.
