GSEB Class 9 Talent Search Test Registration Details
GSEB has advised all eligible students to complete their registration between November 15 and November 30, 2025. Schools play a key role in ensuring students provide correct personal and bank information, as reward disbursement depends entirely on the accuracy of these details.
The board has clearly stated that the name, account number, branch, and IFSC code must match the student’s bank passbook without discrepancies. Incorrect or mismatched data may lead to disqualification from receiving merit rewards. Students are encouraged to verify their details in advance to avoid errors during submission.

The Talent Search Test will be conducted on January 28, 2026, across designated centres in Gujarat. The exam evaluates analytical, mathematical, and language skills, helping identify high-performing students from Class 9.
Before applying, students should review their eligibility with the help of school administrators. As per GSEB guidelines, the rewards for selected candidates are deposited directly into their bank accounts, ensuring transparency and timely disbursement. This process emphasises the importance of correct documentation during registration.
What Schools and Students Should Prepare Before Applying?
Ahead of the registration window, students should gather the required information and confirm all bank details with their passbooks. Schools are expected to brief students on deadlines, form-filling instructions, and essential documents.
