However, in view of the stand taken by GPSC and the GPSC itself has now come out with the Gujarat Public Service Commission Procedure (Amendment) Rules, 2017 by which the earlier Gujarat Public Service Commission (Amendment) Rules, 2016 are amended to the extent above, GPSC is directed now to fill up all the posts by selection after 01/08/2016 by following the substituted /amended Rules, more particularly, as per Gujarat Public Service Commission Procedure (Amendment) Rules, 2017.” 3.
