India Post has opened Gramin Dak Sevak Online Engagement Schedule‑II, July 2026 today, August 31. One‑Time Registration is live on the official portal for Class 10‑pass aspirants. Applications start on September 2, so expect early portal rush across circles. Selection remains merit‑only on Class 10 marks, with no exam or interview.
The confirmed timeline lists registration from August 31 to September 19, 5 pm. Application submission will run from September 2 to September 21, 5 pm. A two‑day edit window follows on September 23 and 24, 5 pm. Fresh registration is compulsory; earlier registration numbers are invalid for this cycle.
India Post GDS 2026 eligibility and age relaxations
Eligibility requires a Secondary School Examination Class 10 certificate with English and Mathematics, plus study of the local language up to Class 10. Computer knowledge, cycling ability, and adequate livelihood are also required. Age is 18 to 40 years, as on the last application date, with relaxations for SC/ST (5), OBC (3), and PwBD (10).
How 10th‑marks merit and tie‑break rules work
A system‑generated merit list drives selection. Boards awarding grades see conversion using a 9.5 factor; CGPA is multiplied by 9.5. DBSE percentage is taken as given; Tamil Nadu 2020‑21 pass cases default to 66.67 percent. Ties break by age first, then a fixed category‑gender order. Physical verification finalises engagement.
Circle‑wise vacancies and reservation checks
Circle‑wise posts are visible under “Circlewise Posts Notified” on the official page and may refresh through the day. Keep valid certificates ready; OBC must be non‑creamy layer on the closing date, and EWS must be valid on the last application date. Rely only on official @indiapost domains for updates.
Required documents, fees and form‑fill tips
Upload a recent photo (JPG, 30–100 KB, 320×400) and signature (JPG, 20–100 KB, 300×120) exactly as prescribed. Keep Class 10 marksheet, category/EWS/PwBD proofs, and language certificates where applicable. Fee is Rs 100 for most, but all females, SC/ST, PwBD and transwomen are exempt. Match names to marksheet; use the two‑day correction window wisely.
If you aim for fast‑moving circles, register today, shortlist divisions early, and apply soon after September 2. Track vacancies on the portal during the day, keep documents error‑free, and avoid last‑hour traffic. Note the final cut‑offs: registration closes September 19, applications on September 21, and corrections by September 24, 5 pm.
