Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. When exactly does the application period for the GSSSB X-Ray Technician position close?
Ans. You have until 11:59 PM on June 29, 2026, to submit your application online. The system won’t accept anything after that time, so be sure to get your form in early to avoid missing out.
Q2. Can I make changes to my GSSSB application after hitting confirm?
Ans. Once you click that confirmation button, your application is locked. GSSSB won’t let you update details like your caste category later. If you do spot an error, your only fix is to submit a completely new application and pay the fee again before the deadline.
Q3. Do I need to have my computer proficiency certificate before applying?
Ans. You don’t necessarily need it to submit your application, but it’s absolutely mandatory before you get appointed. To stay on the safe side, try to have it ready before the document verification stage so you don’t face any hiccups.
Q4. How is the written exam split up between general and technical topics?
Ans. The exam features two parts: Part A is general knowledge (like reasoning, math, and current affairs) for 90 marks. Part B is entirely technical, focusing on X-ray and radiography topics, worth 120 marks. You’ll need to hit at least a 40% on both parts individually to stay in the running.
Q5. How does age relaxation work for Ex-Servicemen applying for this role?
Ans. If you’re an Ex-Serviceman, you get your total years of military service plus an extra 3 years added as age relaxation (capped at 45 years). Plus, if you belong to a reserved category, that relaxation stacks on top of the usual reserved age limits.
Q6. Who actually needs to provide a Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificate?
Ans. Only SEBC candidates need an NCL certificate to prove they aren’t in the high-income bracket. It needs to be issued between April 1, 2024, and June 29, 2026. A quick tip for married women: use your parents’ income for this, not your husband’s.
Q7. Will I have to pass an interview for the X-Ray Technician job?
Ans. Nope, there’s no interview for this position. Your selection comes down completely to your written exam scores and successfully passing the document verification stage.
Q8. Can I get my application fee refunded if I end up skipping the exam?
Ans. Unfortunately, no. GSSSB only processes fee refunds for candidates who actually show up and take the written exam. If you’re a no-show, you lose the fee.
