02How it recruits
The Department of Posts (India Post) operates the country's postal network through 23 postal circles, recruiting Gramin Dak Sevaks (merit-based on Class 10 marks, via indiapostgdsonline.gov.in), Postal/Sorting Assistants, Postmen, Mail Guards and MTS (via SSC or departmental exams, with circle preference), plus sports-quota recruitment for meritorious sportspersons. India Post Payments Bank (IPPB), its banking arm, is a separate body already listed under Banking & Finance. Each of the 23 postal circles is treated as its own listing in this directory since GDS vacancies and postings are circle-specific.
India Post recruits mainly through a written competitive examination, or direct recruitment, without a competitive exam, or a specific quota (for example sports, compassionate appointment, or ex-servicemen). Posts recorded here are commonly classified as Group C/D/contractual.
