For 2026, the notification covers <a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/tnpsc-group-1-vacancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26 vacancies<\/a> across roles including Deputy Collector, Assistant Commissioner (Commercial Taxes), Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies, District Registrar, and Assistant Commissioner of Labour.

If you were expecting to write your exam at one of these centres, check your revised centre allotment carefully once hall tickets are released.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TNPSC_Group_1_Exam_Date_2026_%E2%80%93_Key_Dates\"><\/span><strong>TNPSC Group 1 Exam Date 2026 &#8211; Key Dates<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Event<\/th>\n<th>Date \/ Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Notification Released<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>23 June 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Notification No.<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>05\/2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Advertisement No.<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>736<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Online Application Starts<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>30 June 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Last Date to Apply<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>29 July 2026, 11:59 PM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Application Correction Window<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2\u20134 August 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Preliminary Exam \u2013 Original Date<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>6 September 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Preliminary Exam \u2013 Revised Date<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>27 September 2026<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Prelims Exam Timing<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>9:30 AM\u201312:30 PM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Exam Session<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Single Session<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Mains Exam Date<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>To be announced after Prelims results<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TNPSC_Group_1_Prelims_Exam_Date_2026_Revised_to_27_September\"><\/span><strong>TNPSC Group 1 Prelims Exam Date 2026 Revised to 27 September<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The TNPSC Group 1 Preliminary Exam 2026, originally scheduled for 6 September 2026, has been postponed to 27 September 2026. The revised exam will be conducted from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM in a single session, giving candidates additional time to strengthen their preparation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_the_TNPSC_Group_1_Prelims_2026_Was_Postponed\"><\/span><strong>Why the TNPSC Group 1 Prelims 2026 Was Postponed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">TNPSC cited administrative reasons for shifting the exam date and did not specify further operational details in the public addendum. This isn&#8217;t unusual for large-scale competitive exams \u2014 logistics around exam centres, invigilation staff, or scheduling clashes with other exams can all trigger a shift. The important thing for candidates is that the core exam content, eligibility, and application process remain untouched, so your preparation strategy doesn&#8217;t need to change, only your timeline.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TNPSC_Group_1_Prelims_Exam_Date_2026_%E2%80%93_Why_This_Date_Change_Matters\"><\/span><strong>TNPSC Group 1 Prelims Exam Date 2026 &#8211; Why This Date Change Matters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">An extra three weeks might sound small, but for an exam this competitive, it&#8217;s a real opportunity. TNPSC Group 1 typically draws lakhs of applicants for a small number of vacancies, so every additional day of focused revision counts. Instead of treating the postponement as a delay, use it as bonus <a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/tnpsc-group-1-preparation-tips-and-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prep time<\/a>, especially for weaker subjects or topics you were planning to skip due to time pressure.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TNPSC_Group_1_Recruitment_2026_Selection_Process\"><\/span><strong>TNPSC Group 1 Recruitment 2026 Selection Process<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">TNPSC <a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/tnpsc-group-1-selection-procedure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Group 1 selection<\/a> happens in three stages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Preliminary Examination \u2014 an objective-type qualifying test, 200 questions, 300 marks, 3 hours, with no negative marking. Marks scored here are not added to your final merit; you simply need to clear the qualifying cut-off to move ahead.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Main Examination \u2014 a descriptive exam with four papers. Paper I is a qualifying Tamil Eligibility Test worth 100 marks. Papers II, III, and IV are General Studies papers of 250 marks each, totalling 750 marks, and these do count toward your final merit.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Interview \u2014 the final stage for candidates who clear the Mains, assessing overall suitability for the post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Qualifying_Marks_You_Need_to_Clear_TNPSC_Group_1_Prelims_2026\"><\/span><strong>Qualifying Marks You Need to Clear TNPSC Group 1 Prelims 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">For SC, SC(A), ST, MBC\/DC, BC(OBCM), and BCM candidates: 90 out of 300<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">For Others: 120 out of 300<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">In Mains, the <a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/tnpsc-group-1-eligibility-criteria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tamil Eligibility Test<\/a> requires 40 out of 100 to qualify, while Papers II to IV together require 225 out of 750 for reserved category candidates or 300 out of 750 for Others.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TNPSC_Group_1_Exam_Guidelines_2026_%E2%80%93_Before_During_After\"><\/span><strong>TNPSC Group 1 Exam Guidelines 2026 &#8211; Before, During &amp; After<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Before TNPSC Group 1 Exam<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Download and print your <a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/tnpsc-group-1-hall-ticket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hall ticket<\/a> as soon as it&#8217;s released, and check your name, photo, exam centre, and reporting time carefully. Report any mismatch to TNPSC immediately rather than at the centre.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Visit your exam centre a day in advance if possible, or at least map out the route and travel time, since Prelims day traffic near centres can be heavy.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Keep your documents ready the night before: hall ticket, a valid original photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, passport, or driving licence), and any additional documents mentioned on the hall ticket.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Get a full night&#8217;s sleep rather than cramming until 2 AM. A rested mind performs better across a 3-hour, 200-question paper than a sleep-deprived one that memorized a few extra facts.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Eat a light meal before leaving, and carry a water bottle if the centre allows it, since the exam runs a full three hours.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Reach the centre at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before the reporting time. TNPSC typically closes entry a set time before the exam starts, and late arrivals are not permitted inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>During TNPSC Group 1 Exam<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Read the instructions on the OMR sheet and question booklet carefully before you start, especially about how to mark answers and whether you&#8217;re allowed to change a response.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Since there&#8217;s no negative marking, attempt every question. Leaving a question blank guarantees zero marks, while even an educated guess has a chance of being right.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Do a first pass through the paper and answer everything you&#8217;re confident about, then go back for the harder or time-consuming questions. This protects your score if you run low on time later.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Keep an eye on the clock in blocks \u2014 for example, aim to finish two-thirds of the paper in the first two hours, leaving the last hour for review and tougher questions.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Fill the OMR sheet carefully and avoid stray marks, since these sheets are machine-evaluated and unclear marking can cost you a valid answer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Don&#8217;t get stuck on one question. If something is taking too long, mark it, move on, and return to it after finishing the rest of the paper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>After TNPSC Group 1 Exam<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Note down the questions you remember, especially ones you weren&#8217;t sure about, so you can cross-check them once the official answer key is released.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Watch for the provisional answer key on the TNPSC website. Most competitive exams allow a short window to raise objections if you believe an answer key entry is incorrect \u2014 don&#8217;t miss this window if you have a genuine concern.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Estimate your score once the final answer key is out, and compare it against the expected cutoff for your category to gauge whether you&#8217;re likely to be shortlisted for Mains.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">If you&#8217;ve cleared or are close to the cutoff, start preparing for the Main Examination immediately rather than waiting for the official Prelims result, since the Mains syllabus is far more detailed and benefits from an early start.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Keep checking the TNPSC website regularly for the Prelims result date and the subsequent Mains exam schedule.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TNPSC_Group_1_Preparation_2026_How_to_Use_the_Extra_Time_Before_27_September\"><\/span><strong>TNPSC Group 1 Preparation 2026: How to Use the Extra Time Before 27 September<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">With the exam pushed back by three weeks, here&#8217;s a simple way to structure the additional runway:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Weeks 1-2:<\/strong> Go back to your weakest General Studies areas \u2014 Tamil Nadu history, polity, geography, or current affairs \u2014 and close the gaps instead of skimming past them.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Weeks 3-4:<\/strong> Increase your mock test frequency. Since Prelims has no negative marking, practice attempting every question confidently rather than leaving answers blank.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Final week<\/strong>: Focus on revision only. Review your own notes, error logs from <a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/tnpsc-group-1-mock-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mock tests<\/a>, and current affairs from the last six months. Avoid picking up new topics this close to the exam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Throughout<\/strong>: Keep tracking the TNPSC official website for hall ticket release dates, admit card downloads, and any further updates, since exam centre details may also see last-minute changes this cycle.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Make
