This cycle covers 44,228 vacancies for Branch Postmaster (BPM), Assistant Branch Postmaster (ABPM), and Dak Sevak positions. Candidates who submitted their online applications before the 21 September cut-off can check their qualifying status circle-wise. Selection relies solely on secondary school board percentages, without written examinations or oral interviews. The upcoming merit release lists names, registration details, assigned divisions, and document checking venues for qualified applicants.

Frequently asked questions
How is the India Post GDS merit list prepared?
The postal department calculates merit automatically using candidate marks from recognised secondary school boards. Scores in Mathematics and English carry compulsory weight. No interviews, entrance tests, or bonus marks for higher degrees factor into this shortlist calculation.
When will India Post release the 1st merit list for 2026?
The department expects to publish circle-wise lists in October 2026 on its official portal. Exact dates depend on data consolidation after application scrutiny, with circle PDFs rolling out consecutively over two to three days.
What documents must shortlisted applicants present during verification?
Shortlisted candidates must produce their original Class 10 marksheet, date of birth certificate, caste or community certificate where applicable, valid government photo identification, computer training certificate, and medical fitness paper signed by a government medical officer.
What should I do if my name does not appear in the first list?
Wait for subsequent merit lists on the postal portal. Several candidates fail document checks or choose not to report, causing India Post to issue second, third, and fourth supplementary merit lists to fill remaining positions.
Where can candidates download the circle-wise selection PDF?
Applicants can download circle PDFs directly from indiapostgdsonline.gov.in under the shortlisted candidates tab. You do not require portal login credentials to inspect the public PDF files.
