India Post GDS Vacancy List 2026 (Division-Wise): India Post GDS Recruitment 2026 is once again drawing attention from candidates looking for government job opportunities after Class 10. A division-wise vacancy chart circulating for the recruitment shows significant variation in the number of posts across different postal divisions in West Bengal and the adjoining Sikkim and Andaman & Nicobar Islands divisions.
According to the vacancy details shown in the provided chart, 1,761 posts are listed across 32 divisions. Baruipur Division has the highest number of vacancies, while some divisions have only one or two posts.
However, candidates should keep one important point in mind: vacancy numbers and cut-off marks are not the same thing. A division having more vacancies does not automatically mean that its final selection cut-off will be lower.

India Post GDS Vacancy List: Which Division Has the Highest Number of GDS Vacancies?
Among the divisions shown, Baruipur Division has the highest number of vacancies, with 196 posts.
Other divisions with comparatively high vacancy numbers include:
- Midnapore Division: 121
- Murshidabad Division: 109
- Howrah Division: 101
- Burdwan Division: 100
- Bankura Division: 93
- Sikkim Division: 86
- Barasat Division: 85
- Purulia Division: 83
- Contai Division: 82
This makes these divisions particularly important for candidates comparing the available vacancies.
Where Are the Fewest Vacancies?
At the other end of the list, some divisions have very limited vacancies. The chart shows only 1 vacancy each in Kol AP Stg Divn and RMS SB Division.
Kolkata North and South Kolkata divisions are shown with 2 vacancies each, while Kolkata East has 10 posts.
Does More Vacancy Mean a Lower GDS Cut-Off?
Not necessarily.
This is one of the most important things candidates should understand before choosing a division. The selection process can depend on several factors, including the number of applicants, candidates’ Class 10 marks, category-wise competition and the number of available posts.
Therefore, candidates should not assume that Baruipur, Midnapore or any other division with a larger vacancy count will automatically have the lowest cut-off.
Similarly, a division with fewer vacancies can have intense competition if a large number of candidates apply there.
What Should GDS Candidates Check Before Applying?
Before making a final decision, candidates should carefully check the official India Post GDS notification, eligibility conditions, state/division-wise vacancies, category requirements, local language requirements and the official selection procedure.
Candidates should also verify whether the vacancy figures circulating on social media or YouTube match the latest official notification. The chart provided here is useful for understanding the division-wise numbers, but it should not be treated as a substitute for the official recruitment notification.
The division-wise chart indicates 1,761 GDS vacancies across 32 listed divisions, with Baruipur recording the highest number of posts at 196. Midnapore, Murshidabad, Howrah and Burdwan also have more than 100 or around 100 vacancies according to the chart.
For candidates planning to apply for India Post GDS 2026, the vacancy count can be an important factor, but it should be considered alongside competition and the candidate’s own marks rather than being used alone to predict the cut-off.
