Frequently asked questions

How is the TNPSC score calculated?
Correct answers × 1.5 marks. There is no negative marking in TNPSC group exams, so wrong answers cost nothing beyond the missed marks.
Which answer key should I count from?
Start with the tentative key for an estimate, but remember marks are awarded against the final key published after objections, scores can move a few marks.
Does crossing last year's cut off guarantee selection?
No. Cut offs move with vacancies and paper difficulty each cycle. Past cut offs are context for your margin, not a guarantee.
