The July 2026 schedule opens applications from August 31, with the merit list based solely on Class 10 marks, no written exam is held. Over 30,000 GDS vacancies were notified across the two cycles in 2025.

The correction window on September 23-24 may allow candidates to fix errors, missing it typically disqualifies the application.
