The merit list will be available on the official website for candidates to check their status https://indiapostgdsonline.gov.in/.

For students who have both marks and grades on their 10th standard mark sheet, only the total marks will be considered for selection. This includes marks from all compulsory and elective subjects, excluding any extra subjects. This process aims to prioritize applicants with higher overall marks.

However, for students with grades instead of marks, the marks for each subject will be calculated using a multiplying factor of 9.5. This calculation applies to both compulsory and elective subjects, but not extra subjects.
