The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) today, December 22 , released the results for the Combined Civil Services Examination Group 2 prelims. Candidates who appeared for the examination can now check their qualifying status on the official TNPSC website, tnpsc.gov.in .
The preliminary examination, a crucial first stage for various government positions, was held on September 28 . Following the declaration of prelims results, the Commission has also announced the complete schedule for the main examination.
Main Examination Dates and Format
The TNPSC Group 2 main examination is structured into two descriptive papers. Paper I, designated as the Tamil eligibility test, will be conducted in the afternoon session on February 8 . This paper assesses a candidate’s proficiency in the Tamil language, a mandatory requirement for many state government services.
Paper II, focusing on general knowledge, is scheduled for the forenoon session on February 22 . Both main papers are descriptive in nature, requiring candidates to write detailed answers rather than selecting from multiple-choice options. These examinations are critical for final selection to Group 2 posts.
Mandatory Main Exam Fee Payment
Candidates who have successfully cleared the preliminary examination and are shortlisted for the mains must complete a mandatory examination fee payment of Rs 150 . This payment must be processed online using their one-time registration (OTR) ID. The specified window for fee payment is from December 23 to December 29 .
It is important for all shortlisted candidates to adhere to this deadline to confirm their eligibility for the main examination. Candidates who have previously claimed and been granted fee exemption by TNPSC are not required to pay this amount.
Upload of Exemption Certificates
For candidates who have claimed an exemption from taking the Tamil eligibility test, it is mandatory to upload their supporting certificates. This upload process must also occur between December 23 and December 29 . Failure to upload the required documents within this timeframe may affect a candidate’s eligibility.
