Got selected as ABPM in India Post at 21. Should I join?
Got selected as an ABPM (Assistant Branch Postmaster) in India Post and I'm confused whether I should join or not.
I'm a 21-year-old female.
A few questions for current or former GDS/ABPM employees:
- What does an ABPM actually do on a daily basis?
- How much of the job involves door-to-door mail/parcel delivery?
- Is the work mostly office-based or field-based?
- What are the actual working hours in practice?
- Is ABPM considered a permanent government job or more like a contractual position?
- What are the promotion opportunities from ABPM to BPM or other posts?
- Can ABPM/GDS employees appear for departmental exams and move to higher positions?
- Is it possible to prepare for SSC CGL, Banking, Railways, State Government exams, etc. while working as an ABPM?
- How is this job for women, especially in rural postings? Is it generally safe and manageable in the long run?
- I have been posted at Sindhudurg. If anyone has worked in a similar rural posting, what was your experience?
- Do you think joining ABPM at age 21 is a good decision, or should I focus on preparing for other opportunities?
Any honest advice from people with real experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
