Hall Ticket
The admit card downloaded from the TNPSC portal before the exam, carrying your centre, timing and candidate details. Mandatory along with an original photo ID.
Hall tickets typically release one to two weeks before the exam and appear only in your OTR dashboard; TNPSC sends no separate email. Verify name, photo, centre, date and session the moment you download, since errors need a grievance raised before exam day. Print two copies: a phone screenshot is not accepted where a printed ticket is required.
