How to Download Your TNPSC Hall Ticket

Hall tickets typically release one to two weeks before the exam. Download early, verify every field, and don't leave printing to exam-day morning.

Worth knowing

  • Download the day the release is announced, portal load peaks in the final days
  • Verify name, photo, centre, date and session the moment you download, not at the gate
  • Print two copies, a phone screenshot is not accepted where a printed ticket is required

Step by step

01Log in to the portal when the release is announced

Hall tickets appear in your OTR dashboard for the specific exam. TNPSC announces the release on tnpsc.gov.in; ignore third-party 'download' links.

02Verify every field immediately

Name, photo, exam centre, date and session must be correct. A wrong photo or name needs a grievance raised before exam day, not at the gate.

03Print two copies

Carry one, keep one spare. A phone screenshot is not a substitute where a printed hall ticket is required.

04Note the reporting time and gate-closure rule

Gates close before the exam starts, arriving with the printed hall ticket and the specified original photo ID after closure means missing the exam.
