India Post Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) recruitment for BPM (Branch Postmaster) and ABPM (Assistant Branch Postmaster/Dak Sevak) posts is one of India's largest merit-based recruitment processes. Unlike written competitive examinations, GDS selection is prepared purely based on Class 10th (Secondary School) marks percentage.

Because there is no written exam or interview, the competition for GDS posts is extremely tight, with cut-offs varying significantly depending on candidate category, postal circle (state), division, and local post office vacancies. Understanding the expected cut-off trends helps candidates judge their realistic selection probability across 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th merit list rounds.

How the GDS Selection Chance Calculator Works

Our India Post GDS Selection Chance Calculator 2026 utilizes a standard historical cut-off model derived from previous recruitment schedules (2024–2025 shortlisting merit lists).

1. Candidate 10th Score

Exact marks or derived percentage from your Class 10 board mark sheet without rounding up.

2. Category Reservation

Specific cut-off benchmarks for UR, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, and PwD categories.

3. Postal Circle Density

Circle competition weights (Extreme for UP/Bihar/Rajasthan vs Moderate for NE/South circles).

4. Merit List Rounds

Accounts for drop-offs from List 1 to List 4 due to document verification non-reporting.
