The India Post Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) Result 2026 for the recruitment drive covering 28,636 vacancies has not yet been officially released on the GDS Online Engagement Portal (indiapostgdsonline.gov.in), but the first merit list is expected to be published soon. Reports from multiple news sources and recruitment trackers indicate that the circle-wise merit list PDF could be uploaded in the first week of March 2026.
Result Format and Where to Check
The result will be available as circle-wise and state-wise merit list PDFs on the official India Post GDS Online Engagement Portal at indiapostgdsonline.gov.in.
Once published, candidates can download the PDF and search for their registration number or name to check whether they have been shortlisted.
Selection and Merit List Preparation
The GDS recruitment does not include a written examination or interview.
Selection is based on Class 10 marks, with grades or points converted into percentage to prepare the merit list.
Higher Class 10 marks increase the chances of being included in the merit list.
What Happens After the Merit List
Candidates whose names appear in the merit list will be called for document verification by the concerned postal circle.
During verification, applicants must produce original documents such as the Class 10 mark sheet, date of birth proof, caste certificate (if applicable), photo identity, and other required certificates as specified in the recruitment notification.
Expected Cut-off and Trends
Based on trends from reports and previous years’ data, expected cut-off ranges may be:
General: 85–95%
OBC: 80–90%
SC: 80–88%
ST: 79–85%
EWS: 75–83%
PwBD: 65–80%
These are indicative and may vary by postal circle and number of applicants.
Important Notes
No official date or time has been announced yet for the merit list release; the first list is anticipated early March 2026.
