India Post's 2026 Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) recruitment drive has reached its second merit list stage, with a focus on document verification and engagement. The process involves a meticulous system of merit-based selection, aggregating marks from the Secondary School Examination to a percentage with four decimal places. This year's drive aims to fill 28,636 posts, with a notable number of candidates selected from Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. The second merit list, now available, indicates the next steps for shortlisted candidates, who must verify their documents at the Divisional Office by April 27, 2026. This process is crucial for securing a position in the organization, with the understanding that the list may be withheld due to the Model Code of Conduct. The first merit list was released on March 6, with document verification completed by March 23, marking a significant milestone in the recruitment process. As the candidates eagerly await their fate, the second merit list serves as a pivotal step towards their potential engagement as GDS.
