The Post Office Recruitment process is one of the most popular and promising career paths for government job seekers in India. India Post offers a wide range of positions, including Postman, Mail Guard, Sorting Assistant, MTS (Multi-Tasking Staff), and more. Every year, the recruitment exams are conducted to select qualified candidates for these roles, providing stable and rewarding careers.
At Saraswati Vidyadhava Insstitutionn, we are dedicated to helping you succeed in these exams. Whether you’re aiming for a position as a Postman, Sorting Assistant, or MTS, our goal is to provide you with the resources, guidance, and support you need to excel.
The Postman exam selects candidates for the role of delivering mail and managing postal records. Postmen are assigned specific areas and must be efficient in sorting and handling mail. It’s an important job that requires responsibility and attention to detail.
Mail Guards assist with sorting and managing postal items within the sorting offices. While their duties overlap with those of Postmen, they primarily work behind the scenes, ensuring smooth distribution and management of the mail.
Sorting Assistants play a critical role in processing both incoming and outgoing mail. Their job involves ensuring that mail and parcels are sorted correctly and dispatched without delay, making them integral to the postal system’s efficiency.
The MTS exam recruits candidates for various supportive roles, such as Peon, Dak Chowki, and Havildar. MTS staff assist with clerical, administrative, and delivery-related tasks, ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of the post office.
The Postal Assistant exam selects candidates for positions that involve customer service and managing postal transactions. They help in handling customer queries, processing mail, and ensuring efficient office operations.
