India Post GDS 3rd Merit List 2026: Expected Release Date and Document Verification Updates The India Post is anticipated to release the third merit list for the Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) recruitment in 2026 after the completion of document verification (DV) for the second list. According to recent updates, the third merit list will be made available in state-wise PDF format on the official India Post website, indiapost.gov.in. Candidates who were not selected in the first or second merit lists are now awaiting details about the third list, including the release date and state-specific results. The DV process for the second merit list is currently ongoing, with the final deadline set for April 27, 2026. Once this verification is completed, the third merit list is expected to be published. The release date for the third list has not been officially announced, but based on previous trends, it is likely to be released by the end of April or early May 2026. The results will be published in a state-wise manner, with separate PDF files for each postal circle. The selection process for the GDS positions is entirely merit-based, relying on the percentage of marks obtained in Class 10. Candidates are shortlisted according to their Class 10 scores, reservation categories, and the number of vacancies available in their respective postal circles. The merit list is generated automatically by the system, and candidates must undergo document verification to confirm their eligibility. For the third merit list, the results will be released in PDF format, with each state having its own separate download link. The states included in the postal circles are Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and West Bengal, among others.#gramin_dak_sevak #postal_circles #india_post #class_10_marks #india_post_gov_in
India Post GDS Result 2026 Live Updates: Merit List and Cut-Off Marks The India Post Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) recruitment process for 2026 has generated significant interest among candidates, with the merit list and cut-off marks becoming central points of discussion. The Department of Posts is set to release the results for all 23 postal circles, with candidates advised to check their status through the official portal once the list is published. The selection process, which relies solely on Class 10 examination scores, has drawn applicants from across the country due to its streamlined approach and lack of written exams. Candidates can access their results by visiting the official website and navigating to the result section. They must select their respective postal circle, download the circle-specific PDF file, and use the search function to enter their registration number. If their name appears in the merit list, they will need to prepare for document verification, a critical step in confirming their selection. The process involves submitting original and self-attested copies of educational certificates, identity proof, and category documents, as required by the Department of Posts. The merit list is generated through an automated system that ranks candidates based on their Class 10 marks, with ties resolved by age, community category, and gender as per official guidelines. For instance, if two candidates have identical scores, the older candidate is prioritized. If the tie persists, priority is determined by category and gender. This ensures a structured and transparent selection process. Vacancies vary significantly across postal circles, with Maharashtra leading the list at 3,553 posts, followed by Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Madhya Pradesh.#maharashtra #department_of_posts #india_post #gramin_dak_sevak #postal_circles
