How it works
Step-by-step
- Read the full notification on tnpsc.gov.in and confirm your eligibility.
- Register/log in to the application portal with a working email and mobile number.
- Fill the form carefully — personal, educational and category details are verified later against originals.
- Upload your photograph and signature exactly to the prescribed specifications.
- Pay the fee online and download the submitted application/confirmation page.
Check which exams you're eligible for
Enter your age, highest qualification and category — this checks against the 130 exams covered on KarmSakha. Always confirm exact eligibility on the official notification before applying.
How the TNPSC application works
TNPSC applications require One-Time Registration (OTR) on tnpsc.gov.in; each group notification (Group 1, Group 2/2A, Group 4 and departmental exams) is then applied to from the OTR account within its window.
Applications are verified against original documents much later in the cycle — an error casually entered in the form can disqualify an otherwise-selected candidate at verification.
Documents and photo/signature specs
Keep scans ready before you start: photograph and signature to the prescribed size and background, plus qualification, date-of-birth and category certificates as per the notification.
Names and dates must match your certificates exactly — mismatches are the single most common verification failure.
Fee, confirmation and corrections
Pay the fee through the portal's official gateway only, and treat the downloadable confirmation page as your proof of application.
If Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission provides a correction window, use it to fix errors early — after it closes, the form is frozen for the cycle.

Common questions
TNPSC Apply online FAQ
Is OTR mandatory for TNPSC?
Yes — One-Time Registration on tnpsc.gov.in is a prerequisite, and it stays valid for years once completed, covering every subsequent notification.
Can I edit my TNPSC OTR profile?
Core OTR details can be updated between applications, but details frozen into a submitted application follow that notification's correction rules.
Do I need Tamil proficiency to apply?
Many TNPSC posts require Tamil-medium eligibility or a qualifying Tamil paper — check the language requirement in the specific group notification before applying.
