TNPSC Group 4: Important Dates and Details

Which Posts Are Included?

The recruitment includes administrative, clerical and certain forest-service positions. Applicants should examine the vacancy table by post code because qualifications, pay arrangements and additional requirements can differ even within the same recruitment exercise.

The announced vacancy total is tentative and may be revised. Candidates should therefore track subsequent updates while using the current notification to identify positions suited to their qualifications.

Eligibility: Check Each Post Separately

Do not assume that meeting the requirements for one Group 4 position makes you eligible for every listed post. Review the prescribed educational qualification, age conditions and any technical or physical requirements against each position you intend to select.

• Education: Match your certificates with the qualification specified for the post.
• Age: Check the relevant calculation date, minimum age and applicable relaxation provisions.
• Technical skills: Review typing, shorthand or other certification requirements where prescribed.
• Special conditions: Check driving-license or physical requirements for applicable positions.
• Category claims: Ensure that supporting documents meet the notification’s conditions.

How to Complete the Online Application

1. Open the application portal and select Notification No. 11/2026.
2. Complete the required registration or sign-in process.
3. Enter personal, educational and eligibility details carefully.
4. Upload documents in the prescribed formats.
5. Pay the applicable fee unless a valid exemption applies.
6. Review, submit and save the completed application acknowledgment.

Check your name, date of birth and certificate details before submission. The correction window provides a separate opportunity for permitted changes, but applicants should aim to submit accurate information initially.

Start Preparing for the January Examination

The announced examination uses an objective OMR format, with 200 questions carrying 300 marks over three hours. Preparation should follow the notified syllabus, including Tamil eligibility-cum-scoring, general studies, and aptitude and mental ability components.

Build a weekly routine that combines revision with timed practice. After each practice paper, review incorrect answers and OMR-marking mistakes. Completing the application early leaves more time to focus on the examination and resolve any document-related questions before the deadline.
