India Post has made the Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) 2026 1st Merit List available. Candidates can now access the result through the circle-specific result links.

This is a merit-list result update, making the relevant circle list the central reference for applicants checking their outcome. Candidates need their Registration No. / Roll No. to download the result.

India Post GDS 2026 Result: Recruitment Scope and Merit List Access

India Post Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) 2026

The recruitment covers 23,757 Gramin Dak Sevak posts. This figure represents the total recruitment vacancies, rather than a separately stated allocation for each postal circle.

The selection information identifies a merit list as the selection stage. Candidates should therefore distinguish the overall vacancy count from their individual result: the total number of posts does not establish whether a particular applicant appears in the list.

Release Date: Different Dates Appear in the Result Information

The result summary and important-date entry give 12 October 2026 as the first merit list release date. However, the circle-wise download captions carry 12 March 2026.

These entries differ, so the release date should not be treated as a single settled detail. The result availability itself is stated as available now; candidates can proceed to the relevant circle result rather than use either date alone to identify the list.

Circle-Wise Coverage of the First Merit List
