2A and Group 4 application windows (start date, last date, correction window) had not yet been finalized in the official notification as of this writing \u2014 candidates should watch the official notification for these exact dates once released.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">During a correction window, candidates can typically fix spelling errors, category tags, or re-upload document files \u2014 but no changes are allowed once the window closes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">CTS 2026 has been run as two separate notifications this year \u2014 one for Non-Interview\/Degree-level posts (May\u2013June cycle) and one for Diploma\/ITI-level posts (July\u2013August cycle) \u2014 each with its own dates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TNPSC_Apply_Online_2026_Step-by-Step_Online_Application_Process\"><\/span><strong>TNPSC Apply Online 2026: Step-by-Step Online Application Process<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Follow the step-by-step TNPSC Apply Online 2026 process to complete your application without errors. From One-Time Registration (OTR) to fee payment and final submission, these steps will help you apply successfully within the official deadline.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Step 1 \u2014 Complete One-Time Registration (OTR)<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Before filling any application form, every candidate must first complete OTR on the TNPSC portal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">TNPSC OTR is a centralized profile system where candidates store their personal, educational, and identity details. Once completed, the same information is reused every time you apply for an exam \u2014 think of it like your permanent TNPSC profile, since every application you submit later pulls data from here.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">OTR Registration Steps<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Step 1: Visit the official site of TNPSC. Tap on the &#8220;New User&#8221; link present on the &#8220;One Time Registration&#8221; tab. Fill in all mandatory details like personal details, qualification details, and address in the provided fields. Upload your passport-size photograph and signature in the required format. Pay the registration fee through online mode using any debit\/credit card. Click &#8220;Submit.&#8221; Once registration is completed, applicants receive a confirmation SMS on their registered mobile number with the User ID and Password.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">OTR Fee &amp; Validity<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The OTR registration fee is \u20b9150, and it remains valid for 5 years, after which it must be renewed. This \u20b9150 OTR fee applies for all TNPSC exams<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Aadhaar Linking (Mandatory)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Before you can submit your application, you must link your valid Aadhaar Card number with your OTR account on the official portal \u2014 the form cannot be completed without this step. You must also complete Aadhaar e-KYC verification and upload a recent photograph and signature as part of OTR.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Many candidates rush through OTR thinking they can fix things later \u2014 this assumption causes problems, since an incorrect name, for instance, leads to a mismatch during certificate verification down the line. Take your time and enter every field exactly as it appears on your certificates.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">2. Step 2 \u2014 Log In and Select the Notification<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">After registration, log in using your registration number and password to the TNPSC application portal, then select the notification\/post \u2014 choose the recruitment exam you want to apply for<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Every notification carries its own eligibility, fee, dates, and annexures \u2014 confirm your age, education, and community eligibility before touching the form.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">3. Step 3 \u2014 Fill the Application Form<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Fill in your personal details (name, father&#8217;s name, DOB, address), educational qualifications, category\/reservation details, choice of exam center, and other information as required for your chosen posts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Key fields you&#8217;ll typically complete:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Personal &amp; communication details (auto-filled from OTR \u2014 verify they&#8217;re still current)<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Educational qualification and university details<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Community\/category (with certificate number, if claiming reservation)<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Language medium preference (Tamil or English)<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Exam centre preference<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">For combined exams like Group 2\/2A, you can apply for both the interview and non-interview posts simultaneously in the same application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">4. Step 4 \u2014 Upload Documents<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Upload scanned copies of required documents (photograph, signature, educational certificates, community certificates, etc.) in the specified format \u2014 size, dimensions, and file type must match the notification&#8217;s requirements.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Required Documents<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Candidates need to submit proof of identity, educational certificates, a recent photograph, and signature as specified in the official application guidelines. Additional documents include proof of date of birth (Birth Certificate or SSLC\/Xth mark sheet) and educational qualification certificates\/mark sheets (SSLC, HSC, Degree\/Diploma).<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Photo &amp; Signature Specifications<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Upload a recent passport-size photo (JPG format, max 50KB) and signature (JPG format, max 30KB), ensuring both meet the prescribed format. Signatures should be scanned at 200 DPI, cropped to show the signature only, and saved as 10\u201320 KB, e.g., named &#8220;Signature.jpg.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Always check the exact size\/format table in the specific notification PDF, since these limits can vary slightly between Group 1, Group 2, and Group 4 cycles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">5. Step 5 \u2014 Pay the Application Fee<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">TNPSC Application Fee depends on the type of exam (Group 1\/2\/3\/Departmental, etc.), the stage of selection (Prelims\/Mains), and category-wise concessions. Payment is made online through Net Banking, Credit Card, Debit Card, or UPI.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Fee Structure \u2014 Group 1<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The OTR fee is \u20b9150 (valid 5 years, exempt if already registered). The Preliminary Examination fee is \u20b9100. The Main Examination fee is \u20b9200, payable separately after qualifying Prelims. Total for a new Prelims applicant: \u20b9250 (OTR + Exam fee).<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Fee Structure \u2014 General Overview (across Groups)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">One-Time Registration: \u20b9150 (valid 5 years). Prelims fee: \u20b9100 (unless fee-exempt). Mains fee: \u20b9150, paid separately by shortlisted candidates \u2014 \u20b9300 if writing both Group 2 and Group 2A Mains papers.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Who Is Exempt From Fees?<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">SC\/ST, destitute widows, differently-abled candidates, and eligible ex-servicemen are fee-exempt as per the notification. SC, SC(A), ST, PwBD, and destitute widow candidates are fee-exempt, and the application form applies this exemption automatically based on your profile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">For Group 1 specifically: Fee exemptions are available for candidates belonging to SC, SC(A), ST, Persons with Benchmark Disability, and Destitute Widows (full exemption). Backward Class candidates get three free chances, and Ex-servicemen get two free chances, across their TNPSC applications.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">6. Step 6 \u2014 Review &amp; Final Submission<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Before final submission, review all entered information carefully \u2014 once submitted, you may not be able to change details. Then take a printout of the application form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Download the submitted application PDF and note the application number \u2014 this is your proof if anything is disputed later.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Once the application is submitted and a centre is allotted, changes are not permitted under any circumstances (outside the official correction window \u2014 see Section 7).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">7. The Correction Window<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">TNPSC opens a short correction window after the application deadline, allowing limited edits before it locks permanently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The correction window is opened by the Commission after the online application form filling ends \u2014 typically for three days on the official website. During this phase, candidates can change their photograph and signature.
