Expected Cut-Off Insights for GDS 2026
Although India Post does not publish a single cut-off mark, merit lists are released circle-wise based on 10th marks — and past trends indicate expected percentages.
According to aggregators tracking previous years’ information, typical economic and category wise expected cut-offs are as follows:
| Category | Expected Cut-Off Range (2026) |
| Unreserved (GEN) | 85% – 95% |
| EWS | 84% – 91% |
| OBC | 80% – 88% |
| SC | 80% – 87% |
| ST | 79% – 84% |
| PwBD | 69% – 78% |
Ye table average expectations ko batata hai — actual lists merit based release hoti hain per postal circle
What This Means for Candidates
- General Category: If your 10th percentage is above ~85%, aapke selection chances generally higher hote hain.
- OBC / SC / ST: Expect cut-off slightly lower than General, lekin competition phir bhi tough hota hai.
- PwBD: Wider relaxation possible, cut-off comparatively lower.
- Low vacancy states: Kuch states me vacancies kam hote hi cut-off zyada ho jaata hai.
Yeh expected range hai, final merit lists ke sath actual cut-offs update honge.
State Wise Cut-Off Trends (Before Merit List Releases)
Even though official cut-offs for GDS 2026 aren’t published exactly yet, previous recruitment cycles help candidates estimate trends. For example, previous year cut-offs for GDS varied by state and category.
Here’s a hypothetical insight table based on trends:
| State | General (GEN) | OBC | SC | ST |
| Andhra Pradesh | ~92–96% | ~90–94% | ~90–93% | ~89–92% |
| Assam | ~89–92% | ~86–90% | ~86–89% | ~85–88% |
| Bihar | ~95–98% | ~94–97% | ~93–96% | ~92–95% |
| Chhattisgarh | ~90–95% | ~88–92% | ~86–91% | ~84–89% |
| Gujarat | ~92–94% | ~90–93% | ~89–92% | ~88–90% |
| Haryana | ~88–92% | ~85–88% | ~83–87% | ~80–85% |
Yeh percentages past years data ke trend se banayi gayi estimate tables hain.
Why Estimated Cut-Off Matters for Retention
- Users search “GDS ka cut-off kitna hoga?”
- Agar aap precise ranges show karo, readers zyada scroll karte hain
- Comparison by state vs category increases dwell time
- A dynamic percentage meter or calculator can improve retention further
Dynamic Merit Calculator (Optional Section)
Engaging user tools increase time on page drastically.
Example:
➡ User enters 10th %
➡ User chooses Category (GEN/OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PwBD)
➡ Output displays Expected Cut-off vs Your Score
➡ It shows likely chances of selection
This can be developed in your CMS or via simple JavaScript.
Low-Vacancy vs High-Vacancy States Insight
Some states have more postings than others. Maharashtra & UP, for example, have highest numbers, while small regions like Delhi/Punjab have low vacancies.
High vacancy states usually offer better selection chances but also strong competition.
Low vacancy states sometimes end up with very high cut-offs because seats are fewer.
Strategy Tips for Users (Retention Booster)
Best approach for candidates:
- High vacancy states = flows more posts → but competition = high
- Low vacancy states = fewer posts → but merit competition = sharper cut-offs
- Focus on local language + accurate form filling → reduce errors
This kind of strategy advice increases time spent reading and aids SEO.
Post-Preference & Cut-off Impact
When filling the GDS form, post preference matters — aap pehle BPM/ABPM/Dak Sevak ka order choose karte ho, aur isse final merit outcome par slight impact ho sakta hai, especially in high demand states.
What To Do Before Cut-Off is Officially Released
- Prepare strong 10th marks calculator entries
- Check category wise expectations (table above)
- View your state’s historical merit trend (if available)
- Save official merit list pdf when released
- Start DV documents ready
Circle Wise Vacancy Highlights
Rather than generic state list, users often search circle names like:
- “Mumbai Circle GDS vacancy 2026”
- “UP Lucknow / Kanpur circle vacancy”
- “West Bengal Kolkata circle seats”
You can show them a drill-down approach:
Example: Maharashtra Circle Highlights
| Division | Approx Vacancies | Expected Competition |
