India Post GDS 3rd Merit List Cut Off 2026

In the India Post GDS recruitment, candidates are selected solely based on their Class 10 marks, as there is no written examination. The cut-off changes each year based on factors like the number of applicants, vacancies in different postal circles, and category-wise reservations.

The GDS Merit List 2026 cut-off is expected to be slightly lower than that of the second list, as some selected candidates may not complete document verification or may withdraw, creating vacancies for the next round.
