Document verification: last date 27 October 2026
Report to the divisional office named in the list before the deadline, with originals and self-attested photocopies of:
- Class 10 marks memo (the basis of your merit);
- proof of date of birth, if your Class 10 memo does not show it;
- community, EWS or PwBD certificate, if you applied under that category;
- any other certificate you claimed in your application;
- medical and other documents named in the shortlist instructions for your circle.
The instructions printed with your circle’s list are final: they can add documents or give a specific reporting date. Missing the deadline or failing verification means the post can go to the next candidate.
Not on List-I?
A further list is not promised. If one is issued, it will be on the GDS portal, so check there rather than relying on dates from other websites. Nobody can “add” your name for a payment, so ignore anyone who offers.
