What’s next?
The selection process for TNPSC Group 2 (interview posts) consists of three stages: a Preliminary Examination (objective type), followed by a Main Written Examination, and finally an Oral Interview. Candidates must clear each stage to progress to the next, with the interview round playing a crucial role in final selection for these posts. In contrast, the selection for Group 2A (non-interview posts) is based solely on two stages: the Preliminary Examination and the Main Written Examination. There is no interview component for Group 2A, and the final merit list is prepared based on the performance in the written exams alone.TOI Education is on WhatsApp now. Follow us here.
