How to Apply Online for GDS 2024
The application process is entirely online. Here’s a general guide to help you apply:
Begin by visiting the official online portal for Post Office GDS recruitment. First, you will need to register. During registration, provide your self-owned mobile number and validate it with an OTP. Your email ID also needs to be verified. A crucial step is to enter your name, father’s name, mother’s name, and date of birth exactly as they appear on your 10th Marksheet. Any discrepancies here can lead to the rejection of your form. You will also need to select your gender, community, the circle from which you passed secondary education, the year of passing, and enter a captcha code before submitting the first part of the form. After successful submission, the complete application form will open, which you must fill out and submit.
State-wise Application and Local Language Requirement

Candidates can apply for vacancies in a state different from their own. However, if you apply for a different state, knowledge of the local language of that state is required. For example, if applying for Rajasthan, knowledge of Marwari or Hindi would be beneficial. It is generally recommended to apply for vacancies within your own state.
Eligibility for Candidates with Low Marks
Candidates who have secured even 40% marks in their 10th standard are eligible to apply. Even those who have passed by grace marks are considered eligible. There is no specified minimum percentage required for selection; eligibility simply requires passing the 10th standard. Do not let low marks deter you from applying, as not applying will mean missing out on a potential job opportunity.
