New Delhi, April 22, 2025 –
India Post has officially released the Second Merit List for the Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) Recruitment 2025. The list has been made available on the official website indiapostgdsonline.cept.gov.in, and candidates who were not selected in the first round now have a second chance to check their selection status through this Supplementary List-II.
The GDS recruitment is one of the most awaited employment drives for candidates seeking government jobs in the postal department. With thousands of vacancies spread across various circles and states, the release of the 2nd merit list marks an important milestone in the 2025 recruitment cycle.
India Post GDS 2025 Recruitment: Background
The online application process for India Post GDS Recruitment 2025 began on February 10, 2025, and continued till March 3, 2025. Lakhs of candidates from across the country applied for the posts of Branch Post Master (BPM), Assistant Branch Post Master (ABPM), and Dak Sevak under different postal circles.
The first merit list was released earlier in April 2025. As expected, due to high competition and limited seats, several eligible candidates could not make it to the first list. The second merit list provides them with another opportunity based on merit and circle preferences.

India Post has published the second merit list in PDF format for the following states and postal circles:
- Andhra Pradesh
- Assam

Each state’s merit list includes the names of candidates selected based on their Class 10th marks, category, and the postal circle preferences they marked during the application process.
Selection Process and Criteria
Unlike most competitive government exams, the India Post GDS selection is based purely on merit from Class 10th (Secondary School Examination). There is no written exam. The merit list is prepared using:
- Aggregate marks of the candidates in Class 10
- Preference of circles/posts marked during registration
- Reservation norms based on categories like SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD
- Tie-breaking criteria in case multiple candidates have the same marks
What Happens After Selection?
Candidates whose names appear in the second merit list will now proceed to the Document Verification (DV) stage. It is a crucial step where candidates must present their:
- Class 10 mark sheet and certificate
- Birth certificate
- Caste certificate (if applicable)
- Disability certificate (if applicable)
- Domicile certificate
- Valid photo ID proof (Aadhaar, Voter ID, etc.)
- Two passport-size photographs
Failing to present the correct documents may lead to cancellation of candidature, even if the candidate’s name appears in the merit list.
