India Post GDS selection is based entirely on 10th class marks. There is no written examination. Candidates with higher marks are given priority. The merit lists are released circle-wise (state-wise). If a candidate does not accept the offer within the given time, their slot goes to the next candidate in the waitlist.

Document Verification

Selected candidates must report to their designated divisional office with original documents: 10th marksheet and certificate, identity proof, address proof, date of birth proof, caste certificate (if applicable), and bank passbook. Documents will be verified before official engagement order is issued.
