|---|---|
| Postman | 197 |

The Department of Posts, Tamil Nadu Circle announced this cycle for promotion of serving Gramin Dak Sevaks, so the lists relate only to that in-service channel and not to direct recruitment from the open market, as per the official notification. The overview table summarises the circle, the two designations and the combined intake of 202, divided into 197 for Postman and 5 for Mail Guard. Because the two posts may be shown in separate lists or parts of the same PDF, readers should confirm the header mentions Tamil Nadu Circle and the correct designation before searching a roll number. Those who never held GDS engagement will not find their particulars here.

Only the examination and declaration stages have confirmed entries for this cycle.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|

The table records the written examination held on July 12, 2026 and the subsequent declaration that closed that stage, as per the official notification. The last date to apply belongs to the earlier notification phase and is not stated in the sources available for this result announcement, so Refer to the official notification for that record. When locating the file in the uploads archive, keep the From Date and To Date range wide enough to include both the examination period and the declaration period, since a narrow window is a common reason for the PDF not appearing.
How to Check Department of Posts, Tamil Nadu Circle Postman, Mail Guard 2026
You can check the result directly from the uploads archive without any login.
Working with the Employee Corner archive
The archive at the official website does not have a dedicated roll-number search; it filters stored PDFs by period, subject and keyword. Selecting the wrong subject in the dropdown or entering too narrow a date range will return no records even when the file exists, so set the filters deliberately. The From Date and To Date boxes expect calendar selection, while the Subject dropdown narrows the archive to a document class and the free-text box matches titles containing the typed words.
- Go to the official website uploads page.
- Open the Employee Corner / View Uploads section.
- In Select the From Date, choose the start of the declaration week.
- In Select the To Date, choose a date a few days after declaration to close the window.
- In the Subject dropdown, select the option related to results / Competitive Examination.
- In the Search box, type Tamil Nadu Postman Mail Guard and run the search.
- Identify the entry for Department of Posts, Tamil Nadu Circle, open the PDF and search by roll number, then match name and division.
- Download and save the PDF for use at the next stage.
Department of Posts, Tamil Nadu Circle Postman, Mail Guard 2026 Merit List and Next Stage
Qualification in the Competitive Examination (CE) leads to the Data Entry Skill Test (DEST), as per the official notification.
How to read the merit list
- The Tamil Nadu Circle list shows who has cleared the CE and is therefore in the pool for DEST; appearance in the list is not itself an appointment order.
- Match all printed particulars against the hall ticket, including roll number, name and division or unit, because separate Postman and Mail Guard portions can create confusion.
- Keep GDS engagement proof, photo identity and the CE hall ticket together, as departmental checks at the next stage compare service particulars with examination records.
- The lists are arranged for administrative use, so serial order does not indicate final seniority or posting preference; further instructions about venue and schedule for the next stage will come through the same archive.
- If a roll number is absent, first confirm that the correct circle and designation file was opened and that any corrigendum uploaded alongside the main PDF has been checked, before treating the outcome as final.
