The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) has officially released the detailed eligibility criteria for its Group 4 recruitment cycle of 2025, sending a wave of anticipation among thousands of job seekers across the state. The notification specifies both the upper and lower age limits as well as the minimum educational qualification required, giving aspirants a clear roadmap to prepare their applications.
For the Group 4 posts, the standard educational requirement is a pass in the Higher Secondary examination conducted by the State Board of School Examinations or an equivalent qualification recognized by the Government of India. Candidates who have also completed graduation from a recognized university meet the criteria for certain specific posts under Group 4, which include roles such as Junior Assistant, Stenographer, and various clerical positions in government departments.
The age limit for general category candidates typically falls between 18 and 27 years, though this can vary slightly depending on the specific post. Relaxations are available for candidates belonging to reserved categories, including Other Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and economically weaker sections, in accordance with state government norms. Physically disabled candidates also qualify for additional age relaxation.
TNPSC Group 4 examinations have historically been one of the most sought-after recruitment drives in Tamil Nadu, attracting lakhs of applicants each year for secure government employment at the sub-diviional level. The selection process generally involves a written examination followed by document verification. Candidates are advised to carefully verify their eligibility before submitting applications, as incomplete or incorrect submissions often lead to rejection during the screening stage.
The commission is expected to release the full notification shortly, including the number of vacancies, application dates, and exam schedule.
