India Post Office GDS Selection Criteria 2025

Candidates are selected for GDS positions based on a merit list generated by the system. This merit list is formulated according to the scores achieved in the secondary school examination for the 10th standard. The merit list will be published separately for each of the 23 circles at https://indiapostgdsonline.gov.in/.

1. Applicants are selected for engagement based on a merit list produced by the system.
2. The merit list is compiled using the marks obtained or the conversion of grades/points to marks in the secondary school examination of the 10th standard from recognized boards, aggregated to a percentage with an accuracy of four decimal places. It is essential to pass all subjects according to the respective board’s regulations.
3. For applicants whose 10th standard mark sheets display both marks and grades/points, only the total marks will be calculated, considering the scores from all compulsory and elective subjects (excluding any extra subjects). This approach ensures that candidates with higher marks are prioritized.
