The Ajmer Postal Division of the Rajasthan Circle has prepared its Reservation Roster Registers as on 01.01.2026. These rosters cover three cadres:
- Postman (Direct Recruitment)
- Postman (Departmental)
- MTS (Direct Recruitment)
If you are a GDS or MTS in Rajasthan Circle and planning to appear in the GDS to MTS or GDS to Postman exam, these rosters give you a good idea of how posts are shared among categories. Let’s understand them in simple words.
First, What Is a Reservation Roster?
- A reservation roster is a register that every division keeps for each cadre.
- It shows which post number is reserved for which category (UR, SC, ST, OBC, EWS).
- It also shows who has been appointed against each point and in which category.
- At the end, a summary tells how many posts are due for each category, how many are filled, and whether there is a shortfall (minus) or excess (plus).
In short, it helps the division decide how many vacancies of each category can be offered in the next recruitment.
