Overview of India Post GDS 4th Merit List 2026

Selection for these prestigious positions does not involve any written examinations. Instead, selections are derived entirely from merit based on Class 10th secondary school marks calculated accurately up to four decimal places. For boards utilizing a grade-point system, marks are converted using the standard formula: Marks = Grade Point x 9.5. In instances where candidates secure identical scores, tie-breaking criteria prioritize older candidates based on their date of birth, followed by specific category reservation hierarchies (ST Female, SC Female, OBC Female, EWS Female, UR Female, followed by their male counterparts).
