The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) is a state-run agency that hires people for a variety of positions in the state's government. In order to find deserving candidates for entry-level, mid-level, and high-level positions, the TNPSC exam is administered annually in groups (I to VII).
There are only two rounds of selection for lower-level posts, while there are three for mid-level and high-level positions. Preliminary, main, and final interviews are required for high-level positions; for mid-level positions, a written test is followed by an oral test.
Our goal in this article is to provide some universally applicable advice that will help you ace the TNPSC exam, no matter what your target group is.
Make sure you know the syllabus and the exam format before the exam. Each group has a different syllabus and exam pattern based on the position they are applying for. Check the official website for information on the specific syllabus and exam pattern for your position within the TNPSC Group.
Before you begin studying, solve an official mock or the previous year's question paper in exam-like conditions to get a sense of your strengths and weaknesses. You can use the official answer key and the actual grading scale for your post/group to assess your own performance. Try the TNPSC Group 2 answer key and/or the TNSPC Group 4 answer key, for example.
As a result of your performance, you can create a realistic study plan that allows you to focus on your weaknesses and capitalise on your strengths.
