Today, 5 November, is the last day to apply for the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission’s (TNPSC) Group 4 exam, which has 6,574 tentative vacancies this year. The window closes at 11:59 PM. More than 9.80 lakh candidates had already applied, Tamil dailies Hindu Tamil Thisai and DinaMani reported this week.
Apply through the TNPSC application portal linked from tnpsc.gov.in. One thing catches people out: completing One Time Registration (OTR) does not mean you have applied. You must submit the Group 4 application separately and pay the fee where it applies.
