India Post has officially released the 5th Merit List for Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) Recruitment 2025. Candidates who applied for the GDS posts across various states can now check their selection status in the latest merit list. This list includes names of candidates shortlisted based on their Class 10th marks, as the recruitment process follows a merit-based selection system without any written examination.
The 5th GDS merit list 2025 covers regions where seats were still vacant after the previous rounds. If your name was not included in the earlier lists, this is another opportunity to check whether you’ve been selected for document verification. The merit list has been prepared based on the candidate’s academic performance, availability of posts in different postal circles, reservation norms, and other eligibility criteria.
