Document Verification (DV) is scheduled to be completed by March 23, 2026. Shortlisted candidates must submit their original educational certificates during this verification process. The final appointment is contingent upon successful document verification.

As part of the January Schedule-I recruitment cycle, the UP GDS Merit List reflects the ongoing efforts by the Department of Posts to fill vacancies in rural postal services. Candidates are advised to attend document verification at their assigned postal division.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional requirements or changes in the verification process. Observers expect that the successful completion of DV will lead to prompt appointments for the selected candidates.
