India Post has officially released the merit list for the GDS 2026 cycle today, 6th March 2026. The Department of Posts has published the results on a circle-wise basis, making it accessible for applicants across different regions. With a total of 28,636 vacancies on the line, this recruitment drive has seen massive participation from candidates holding Class 10 qualifications.
Unlike standard government exams, the selection process for GDS posts does not involve a written test. Instead, the India Post GDS merit list is strictly prepared based on the aggregate marks obtained by candidates in their Class 10 (Secondary School Examination). The system prioritizes merit, meaning that applicants with the highest percentage of marks in their matriculation are placed at the top of the selection list.
The official merit lists are available for download on the dedicated GDS portal. Candidates are advised to download the PDF corresponding to the specific circle they applied for.
