Candidates who completed their secondary school examination (Class 10) with passing marks in English and Mathematics and registered during the recruitment cycle can track their shortlisting status online.

Do candidates need to appear for an interview or written test?
No written examination or personal interview is conducted for GDS selection. The recruitment relies solely on Class 10 academic performance, followed by physical verification of marksheets, caste certificates, and identity proof.

Shortlisted candidates must present their original Class 10 marksheet, date of birth certificate, caste or community certificate if claiming reservation, disability certificate if applicable, photo identity proof, and two passport-sized photographs.
What happens if my name does not appear in the first merit list?
India Post issues supplementary merit lists when shortlisted candidates fail verification, reject offers, or do not report. Candidates should keep checking circle-wise portal updates for subsequent shortlists until all 28,636 vacancies are filled.
