TNPSC Group 4 Vacancy 2026: Expected Date, Post-Wise Trend & Previous Updates

TNPSC hasn’t announced the exact vacancy count for the 2026 Group 4 cycle yet — this will be published post-wise and department-wise along with the official notification on October 6, 2026. Based on how the last three cycles played out, though, the number rarely stays fixed at the initial figure. Here’s the full post-wise breakup from the 2024 and 2025 cycles, plus the pattern TNPSC has followed on revising vacancies, so you know what to expect.

TNPSC Group 4 Vacancy 2026 — When Will It Be Announced?

TNPSC almost never finalises the Group 4 vacancy count in the first notification itself — addendums adding more posts are common, sometimes even after the exam is conducted. Keep this page bookmarked; we’ll update it with the real 2026 figure and every addendum as soon as TNPSC releases them.

TNPSC Group 4 Vacancy 2026 — How the Numbers Have Moved in Recent Cycles

This is the single most important thing to understand about TNPSC Group 4 vacancies: the number announced with the notification is almost never the final number.

In the 2025 cycle alone, TNPSC added 727 vacancies in September and another 645 in December — nearly 35% more posts than the original notification. If the 2026 cycle follows the same pattern, expect the actual number of seats to be noticeably higher than whatever figure is announced on October 6.

(Later addendums in 2025 added further vacancies across most of these posts, taking the total from 3,935 to 5,307.)

Which Posts Usually Get the Most Vacancies?

Across the last three cycles, three posts have consistently accounted for the bulk of Group 4 vacancies:

• Junior Assistant (Non-Security) — historically the single largest post, ranging from about 1,600 to over 3,400 vacancies depending on the cycle
• Typist — the second-largest post, typically between 1,000 and 2,400 vacancies
• Village Administrative Officer (VAO) — smaller in count (200–400 range) but among the most sought-after due to field posting and career growth
• Steno-Typist and Forest Guard/Watcher posts round out most of the remaining vacancies, along with smaller department-specific posts (Junior Revenue Inspector, Bill Collector, Laboratory Assistant, etc.)

If historical trends hold, expect Junior Assistant and Typist to again make up the largest share of the 2026 vacancy list once it’s released.

Why TNPSC Group 4 Vacancy Figures Keep Changing

TNPSC typically revises the vacancy count through official addendums, issued after the initial notification — sometimes even after the written exam has already been conducted. This happens because:

• Individual departments report their staffing shortfalls to TNPSC in phases, not all at once
• Retirements, promotions, and new sanctioned posts get added to the vacancy pool through the year
• TNPSC has, in recent cycles, issued the exam notification before every department has finalised its exact requirement

Don’t assume the October 6 figure is final. Keep checking for addendum notices right up to (and sometimes after) the exam date — they can meaningfully change your odds and your cut-off expectations.
