Application Submission Notes

A valid TNPSC One Time Registration profile is needed before the examination application, and Aadhaar linking is mandatory for access to the profile. Choose only the subject paper connected to the qualification you actually hold; the Commission uses that choice to map you to the appropriate post.

The portal provides an application correction window after the submission period, but changes are not accepted once that window closes. Review your post, subject-paper claims, reservation details and uploaded proof carefully, because admission remains provisional until TNPSC checks the records.
