The recruitment process for 28,636 Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) positions by India Post is currently underway. The first merit list was published on March 6, 2026, and candidates are now awaiting the second merit list, which is anticipated to be released in early April 2026. This timeline follows the completion of document verification for candidates listed in the first merit list, which concluded on March 23, 2026. The recruitment process is merit-based, relying solely on Class 10 marks, without any written exams or interviews. Candidates who are shortlisted in the upcoming second merit list will need to complete document verification at their respective Divisional Offices and are advised to keep their documents ready, including original and photocopies of their Class 10 marksheet, identity proof, and any applicable certificates. Those not selected in the first list should remain hopeful, as previous recruitment cycles have seen up to seven merit lists being released to fill all vacancies. Regular monitoring of the official India Post website is recommended for updates.
