Bumper Govt Vacancy: TNPSC Opens Applications for 6,574 Group 4 Posts
Opening a massive employment avenue for public sector aspirants across Tamil Nadu, the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) has formally released the recruitment notification for the Combined Civil Services Examination-IV (CCSE Group 4), announcing 6,574 vacancies across multiple state departments. The registration portal officially opened on October 6, 2026, welcoming eligible candidates ranging from matriculation (10th pass) holders to college graduates to submit their digital application forms. Aspirants keen on securing stable state administrative, clerical, and field appointments are urged to visit the official commission portal at tnpsc.gov.in and complete their submission procedures ahead of the closing deadline on November 5, 2026, to prevent potential technical delays caused by heavy server traffic during the final hours.
Key Deadlines, 300-Mark Exam Pattern, and Single-Shift Schedule Announced
According to the official recruitment notification released by the commission, candidates will have access to an online application correction window between November 9 and November 11, 2026, to rectify any inadvertent errors in their submitted forms. The TNPSC Group 4 written examination is officially scheduled to take place on January 10, 2027, conducted in a single morning session spanning 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM across designated test centers statewide. Selection for these 6,574 cadre positions rests entirely on performance in a single-stage competitive written examination, completely doing away with subsequent interview stages. The examination features an objective multiple-choice format carrying a total weightage of 300 marks distributed across 200 questions, with candidates allocated exactly 3 hours to finish the paper. The final state-wide merit rank list and subsequent cadre allocations will be formulated strictly based on the aggregate marks secured by examinees in this written test.
