Candidates who applied for the GDS (Gramin Dak Sevak) recruitment and were not included in the previous four merit lists have high hopes for the fifth merit list. According to social media reports, it was expected that the GDS fifth merit list would be released by the last week of November.
However, media reports suggest that this information turned out to be incorrect, as the fifth merit list has not been released yet, even after the end of November. Additionally, no official date for its release has been announced by the Indian Postal Department.
As a result, candidates are growing increasingly anxious, and it has become crucial for them to know when the department will release this important and final merit list. To provide clarity to the candidates, we will discuss the topic in detail in this article.
GDS 5th Merit List 2024
As you may know, the postal department has released this important GDS recruitment for over 44,000 posts, and so far, four merit lists have been issued, filling most of the vacant positions. The remaining vacant posts will be filled through this fifth merit list.
This fifth merit list is crucial for all candidates because the cutoff marks are expected to be more lenient compared to previous lists. As a result, candidates with lower marks may still have a chance to get a position in the post office.
