It covers Tamil (Part A), General Studies (Part B), and Aptitude &amp; Mental Ability (Part C). Your rank in the final merit list is based purely on the total marks you score here \u2014 there&#8217;s no separate weightage stage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Two thresholds you must clear:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>40% in Part A (Tamil)<\/strong> \u2014 that&#8217;s 60 out of 150 marks. If you don&#8217;t clear this, Parts B and C are not evaluated at all, regardless of how well you did in them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>90 out of 300 overall<\/strong> \u2014 the minimum qualifying mark for all categories to be considered for the merit list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Clearing both thresholds doesn&#8217;t guarantee selection \u2014 it only makes you eligible for the merit list. Actual selection depends on where your total marks rank against the cut-off, which is decided after the exam based on vacancies, category-wise reservation, and the overall difficulty of that year&#8217;s paper.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Stage 2: Tentative\/Provisional Merit List<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After the written exam is evaluated, TNPSC publishes a tentative list of candidates who cleared the qualifying marks, ranked by total score within each community\/category. This list is provisional \u2014 it determines who moves to certificate verification, not who is finally selected.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Stage 3: Certificate Verification (CV)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Candidates on the tentative list are called for Certificate Verification, either in person at a designated centre or through an on-screen document upload process, depending on how TNPSC structures the cycle. You&#8217;ll need to produce original documents (plus copies) proving every claim made in your application \u2014 age, community, educational qualification, and any category-specific certificates.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Documents typically required at CV:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>SSLC \/ educational qualification certificates<\/li>\n<li>Community\/category certificate (SC\/ST\/MBC\/BC, if claimed)<\/li>\n<li>Nativity certificate<\/li>\n<li>Government-issued photo ID<\/li>\n<li>Technical certificates (typing\/shorthand, for Typist\/Steno-Typist posts)<\/li>\n<li>PSTM (Permanent Special Temporary Marks) certificate, if applicable<\/li>\n<li>PwBD or Ex-Servicemen certificate, if applicable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A mismatch between what you declared in your application and what your original documents show \u2014 even something as small as a spelling difference in your name \u2014 can lead to disqualification at this point, no matter how high you ranked in the written exam. Non-production of original documents, or submission of fake\/forged documents, results in outright rejection.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Stage 4: Physical Standards &amp; Endurance Test (Forest Posts Only)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you&#8217;ve applied for Forest Guard, Forest Guard with Driving Licence, or Forest Watcher, there&#8217;s an additional stage after certificate verification \u2014 a Physical Standards Verification and Endurance Test, assessing height, chest measurement, and physical fitness as prescribed in the notification. This stage does not apply to VAO, Junior Assistant, Typist, Steno-Typist, or other clerical\/ministerial Group 4 posts.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Stage 5: Counselling &amp; Post\/Unit Allotment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Candidates who clear certificate verification (and the physical test, where applicable) are called for counselling. This is where your actual post and department get decided:<\/p>\n<ol dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Candidates are called in descending order of rank within their category<\/li>\n<li>Each candidate is shown the list of posts\/units still available in real time<\/li>\n<li>You pick your preferred post\/department from what&#8217;s available at your turn<\/li>\n<li>Once you select, that post is removed from the pool for candidates ranked below you<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This means your written exam rank directly determines how much choice you get \u2014 a higher rank means more open posts to pick from, while a lower rank in the merit list may leave you with a narrower set of options by the time your turn comes.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Stage 6: Final Appointment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After counselling, TNPSC issues the final appointment\/posting order. This marks the end of the TNPSC Group 4 recruitment cycle for that batch of candidates.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TNPSC_Group_4_Selection_Process_2026_What_Candidates_Should_Know\"><\/span><strong>TNPSC Group 4 Selection Process 2026: What Candidates Should Know<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most Group 4 candidates focus entirely on the written exam and treat certificate verification and counselling as formalities. In practice, a meaningful share of rejections at the CV stage come from avoidable issues:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Name\/DOB mismatches between the application, OTR profile, and original certificates<\/li>\n<li>Missing or delayed community certificates for candidates who claimed reserved-category benefit<\/li>\n<li>Typing\/Shorthand certificates not matching the exact technical qualification required for Typist\/Steno-Typist posts<\/li>\n<li>Candidates simply not showing up on their scheduled CV date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">None of these have anything to do with exam preparation \u2014 they&#8217;re entirely avoidable with basic paperwork discipline well before your CV call comes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Understanding the <a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/exam\/tnpsc-group-4-online-coaching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TNPSC Group 4<\/a> Selection Process 2026 can help candidates plan their preparation and approach each stage with confidence.
