💡 Why Are Multiple Merit Lists Released?
India Post releases the merit list in multiple phases to fill remaining vacancies when selected candidates from earlier lists:
- Fail to appear for document verification
- Are found ineligible
- Do not accept the offer
Thus, if you were not selected in the 1st or 2nd list, there is still a chance to be shortlisted in subsequent rounds like the 3rd or 4th merit list.
