The UP Post Office GDS 2021 application window is closed. Uttar Pradesh Circle advertised 4,264 Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) vacancies in Cycle III/2021–2022, with online applications accepted from 23 August to 22 September 2021. This is a historical recruitment notice, not an open application opportunity; check the official India Post GDS portal for current schedules.
What the 4,264 vacancies covered
The 4,264 figure was for Uttar Pradesh Circle alone. A contemporaneous India Today report published on 25 August 2021 described 581 additional vacancies in Uttarakhand, making 4,845 across the two circles combined. That combined figure should not be mistaken for Uttar Pradesh’s vacancy count.

The available copy of the Department of Posts notice is hosted by GovtJobsAlert rather than an established India Post archive. Its stated terms are useful for understanding the 2021 recruitment, but the copy’s archival provenance has not been independently established. Read the available 2021 notice copy.
2021 application dates and status
According to the available notice copy, applications were submitted online from 23 August through 22 September 2021. The deadline has passed; candidates cannot apply to this cycle now. The official portal currently lists a different, later recruitment schedule, so use it for current openings rather than relying on the 2021 dates.

Who could apply: 2021 eligibility
Education and local language
The notice copy specified a Class 10 secondary-school certificate with passing marks in Mathematics and English, as well as in the local language. It also stated that the candidate must have studied the local language through at least Class 10. These are the requirements stated for this historical notice; check the relevant live notification for eligibility in any later cycle.
Age
India Today reported the general age range as 18–40 years as of 23 August 2021, the notification date. Category-specific age relaxations and other conditions should be checked in the notice copy; the contemporaneous report is not a substitute for the complete rules.

The stated selection method was an automatically generated merit list based on the information in submitted applications. The available sources describe marks-based merit selection and do not describe a written entrance examination. Applicants therefore needed to provide accurate academic details in the form; the notice copy contains the process terms available for this cycle.
What GDS work and engagement mean
GDS engagement is not the same as regular Central Government employment. India Post’s current GDS recruitment information says GDS work four to five hours daily and that Branch Postmasters arrange branch-office accommodation at their own cost. It also says service conditions are governed by the Gramin Dak Sevaks (Conduct and Engagement) Rules, 2020, as revised. These are current general terms and should not be read as a verbatim account of every condition in the 2021 notice; consult the live notice and rules for present-day details.
