The recruitment aims to fill 28,636 Gramin Dak Sevak posts across various postal circles in the country. The merit lists have been uploaded in PDF format, allowing candidates to download and check their selection status.
The recruitment drive received a large number of applications because the minimum eligibility requirement was Class 10 (Secondary School Examination) and the number of available vacancies was high.
