Step-by-Step Process to Apply Online

Step 1: Visit the Official India Post Website

• Go to ???? https://www.indiapost.gov.in 

• Scroll down to find the “Opportunities” or “Recruitments” section (usually at the bottom of the homepage).

• Click on it — this will take you to the circle-wise recruitment page.

Step 2: Choose the Correct Postal Circle

• Each state/circle (for example, Karnataka Circle, Tamil Nadu Circle, Maharashtra Circle) issues a separate notification.

• Click on your circle’s notification link — it opens a PDF with details like:

  • Number of vacancies (Postman / Mail Guard / MTS)

  • Eligibility criteria

  • Application start and end dates

  • Exam pattern and syllabus

  • Official application portal link

Step 3: Go to the Application Portal

There are two main portals used:

1. https://indiapostgdsonline.gov.in — used for many India Post recruitments (including Postman, Mail Guard, GDS).

2. Some circles use dedicated portals like https://dopsurecruitment.in or https://tamilnadupost.nic.in.
   (Your circle’s notification will clearly mention which site to use.)

Step 4: Registration

• Click “New Registration”.

• Enter basic details: name, mobile number, email ID, date of birth, and select your circle.
