The Department of Posts, a government entity under the Ministry of Communications, has announced a major recruitment drive for Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS), Branch Post Masters (BPM), and Assistant Branch Post Masters (ABPM). This presents a fantastic opportunity to join India Post’s extensive network and contribute to the nation’s postal services. A total of 44,228 vacancies have been advertised across various regions of India. This large-scale recruitment initiative aims to enhance the postal infrastructure and ensure efficient service delivery in rural and semi-urban areas.
Candidates must possess a minimum educational qualification of having passed Class 10th (Matriculation) from a recognized board. The age limit for these positions varies based on the specific category (GDS, BPM, ABPM). Detailed information regarding age limits will be available in the official notification. Applicants must be Indian citizens. Preference may be given to candidates residing in the areas where vacancies exist.
The salary offered ranges from Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 16,000 per month, depending on the post and location. Additionally, GDS, BPM, and ABPM may be eligible for other benefits like medical insurance and allowances, as per government regulations.
The selection process is based on a merit list derived from candidates’ scores in the 10th standard (matriculation) examination. Individuals with higher marks are ranked higher on the merit list, irrespective of age or the date of passing. This ensures a fair and objective selection process based on academic performance.
Unlike many other recruitment processes, there is no requirement for a written test or interview. Selection is solely based on the marks obtained in the qualifying examination. Candidates are advised to have scanned copies of the following documents readily available for online application:
* Class 10th (Matriculation) mark sheet
