Worth knowing
Confirm eligibility against the current notification (age as on the cut-off date, qualification, community). Make sure your OTR photo is within 3 months and your education rows are complete, the form pulls from your profile.
Log in to your OTR account, select the TNPSC Group 4 & VAO notification, verify the auto-filled profile, choose post preferences carefully (order decides counselling outcomes), pick your exam centre, pay the fee or confirm exemption, submit, and download the application PDF.
Applying with a stale photo, community mismatch between profile and certificate, missing the fee step, and clicking through default preference order. Each is avoidable in one careful sitting; several are unfixable after the window closes.
Cycle stages and figures follow official TNPSC notifications; dates update when TNPSC announces them. Sources: TNPSC official notifications. Figures are indicative and may change with each official notification. Data last reviewed: July 2026.
