By employing D6-branes intersecting at angles in $D = 4$ type I strings, we construct the first examples of three generation string GUT models (PS-A class), that contain at low energy exactly the standard model spectrum with no extra matter and/or extra gauge group factors. They are based on the group $SU(4)_C \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$. The models are non-supersymmetric, even though SUSY is unbroken in the bulk. Baryon number is gauged and its anomalies are cancelled through a generalized Green-Schwarz mechanism. We also discuss models (PS-B class) which at low energy have the standard model augmented by an anomaly free U(1) symmetry and show that multibrane wrappings correspond to a trivial redefinition of the surviving global U(1) at low energies. There are no colour triplet couplings to mediate proton decay and proton is stable. The models are compatible with a low string scale of energy less that 650 GeV and are directly testable at present or future accelerators as they predict the existence of light left handed weak fermion doublets at energies between 90 and 246 GeV. The neutrinos get a mass through an unconventional see-saw mechanism. The mass relation $m_e = m_d$ at the GUT scale is recovered. Imposing supersymmetry at particular intersections generates non-zero Majorana masses for right handed neutrinos as well providing the necessary singlets needed to break the surviving anomaly free U(1), thus suggesting a gauge symmetry breaking method that can be applied in general left-right symmetric models.
