The Post Office GDS IVA Merit List 2026 has been published by the Department of Posts (DoP) as a Supplementary List-IVA under the GDS Online Engagement Schedule-I, January 2026. The list has been released for eight Divisions across four Postal Circles, including Anand, Bagalkot, Davanagere, Goa, Baramati, Shrirampur, Nagaland, and Dharmanagar, where by-elections had earlier delayed the engagement process.
Post Office GDS IVA Merit List 2026: Overview
Why Was the Supplementary List-IVA Released for These Divisions?
The Department of Posts (DoP) directed CEPT, Bengaluru, to publish Supplementary List-IVA for these eight Divisions because by-elections were held there during April–May 2026, and the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) was in force at the time. This delayed the regular publication of List-IV in these specific Divisions, while the remaining Divisions in other Circles had already received their List-IV.
