India Post GDS FAQ
Is there a written exam for India Post GDS?
No — GDS is one of the few major government recruitments selected purely on a merit list computed from Class 10 marks, with no separate written test.

GDS is engaged on a contractual/part-time basis (not a regular civil-service post initially), governed by its own service rules distinct from regular postal cadre employees.
