This hiring campaign seeks to recruit a total of 21,413 posts in different states and circles in India. The process is carried out circle-wise and state-wise to ensure fair and transparent selection.

Selection Process
Unlike most other recruitment processes of the government, GDS selection does not include a written exam. Instead, candidates are shortlisted only on Class 10 board examination marks, and merit lists are drawn accordingly. After the merit list is released, the last step is document verification of the documents submitted by the candidates, after which the appointment is confirmed.

Final Remarks
Aspirants are requested to remain cautious and continuously visit the official website for more information and directions. The document verification is a crucial step and the prompt reporting and documentation will make or break the appointment of aspirants.
