The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) has announced a major recruitment drive for the year 2025, offering 3,274 vacancies for the combined post of Driver cum Conductor. The recruitment notification was released recently, and interested candidates can now apply online through the designated portal at onlinereg.in/arasubus.
This represents one of the largest single recruitment exercises undertaken by the state transport corporation in recent years. The move comes as TNSTC seeks to bolster its fleet operations across Tamil Nadu, where public transport demand has been steadily rising. With a workforce gap of over 3,000 positions, the corporation aims to fill these roles to maintain and expand bus services throughout the state.
Candidates who wish to apply must register on the official recruitment website and complete the application form with the required personal and educational details. The application process is entirely digital, and applicants are advised to keep scanned copies of relevant documents — including photographs, signatures, educational certificates, and caste certificates where applicable — ready before beginning the process.
While the detailed eligibility criteria, including age limits and educational qualifications, are yet to be fully specified in the initial notification, TNSTC recruitment drives for this role typically require candidates to hold a valid commercial driving license and possess at least a Class 10 or equivalent qualification. Preference is generally given to candidates who meet the reservation guidelines as per Tamil Nadu state government norms.
The recruitment process is expected to include a written examination or skill test followed by document verification. TNSTC has urged prospective applicants to apply well before the deadline and avoid last-minute visits to the portal, which may face heavy traffic as the date approaches. Official updates regarding exam schedules and further instructions are expected to be released in the coming weeks on the same portal.
