- The Gujarat Public Service Commission deferred its scheduled exam to August 9 after weather warnings and candidate requests.
- District administrations across Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara and other areas ordered closures of schools, colleges and anganwadis and readied school buildings as relief shelters.
- The State Bank of India conducted its recruitment test as scheduled, causing candidates to wade through severe waterlogging and resulting in at least one differently-abled aspirant missing the exam.
