Candidates should ensure that the application has been successfully submitted. Completing One Time Registration alone does not count as submitting the Group 4 application.
The eligibility requirements for TNPSC Group 4 vary according to the post. Candidates should check the educational qualification, age limit and any additional technical requirements mentioned against their preferred post in the official notification.
Several posts require candidates to have passed the prescribed school-level qualification. Posts such as Typist and Steno-Typist may also require specific technical qualifications or certificates.
Applicants should check the relevant post code and eligibility conditions before submitting their preferences. The vacancy count alone should not determine post selection.
Candidates who submit their applications can use the correction facility scheduled from November 9 to November 11, 2026, subject to the modifications permitted by TNPSC.
The correction window should not be treated as an extension of the application deadline. Candidates must submit their initial applications by November 5, 2026. They should also review their details carefully before final submission.
The TNPSC Group 4 written examination is scheduled for January 10, 2027, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. The examination will be conducted in OMR-based format.
Candidates should use the available preparation time to understand the examination syllabus, question distribution and marking scheme. The commission will announce further examination-related instructions through its official website.
