TNPSC Result: Group I Prelims Awaited, 2025 Final Out

The TNPSC Group I 2026 Prelims result has not been declared yet. As of 27 October 2026, the latest item on the Group I 2026 exam dashboard is the tentative answer key of 6 October 2026, for the Prelims held on 27 September 2026. The previous cycle (Notification 04/2025) is complete. Its final result came out on 16 July 2026, and TNPSC published the candidates' Prelims and Main marks on 16 September 2026.

What does each TNPSC Group I result contain?

• Prelims result: a list of register numbers admitted to the Main exam, at 20 times the vacancies in each reservation group, plus everyone tied at the cut-off. Onscreen certificate verification is done before admission to the Main. In 2025 this list was posted on 28 August 2025.
• Main result: the Main has four descriptive papers. Paper I (Tamil Eligibility Test, 100 marks) needs 40 marks and is only qualifying. Papers II to IV (250 marks each) are evaluated only if Paper I is cleared. The Main minimum is 225 marks for SCs, SC(A)s, STs, MBCs/DCs, BC(OBCM)s and BCMs, and 300 for Others.
• Interview list: two times the vacancies in a reservation group with five or more vacancies, and three times where there are four or fewer. The interview carries 100 marks with no minimum.
• Final result: a list of provisionally selected register numbers, post by post, after counselling.

How is the Group I rank decided?

Rank is based on the total of Main Papers II, III and IV plus the interview, out of 850. Ties go first to the older candidate, then to the higher Main marks, then to the earlier application number. A Medical Board examines candidates after the interview. TNPSC publishes no supplementary list for those who fail the medical or physical standards. Counselling is by rank.

How did the 2025 cycle run after the Main?

According to Press Release 37/2026, 1,801 candidates were admitted to the Main (1 to 4 December 2025) and 1,568 appeared. Of these, 160 were called for certificate verification and interview, which were held on 15 and 16 April 2026. The final selection list was drawn after counselling on 16 June 2026, with posts such as Deputy Collector, Deputy Superintendent of Police and Assistant Commissioner (Commercial Taxes).

Where do you check marks?

TNPSC does not give marks or answer-paper copies before the whole selection is over. Marks then appear on the exam dashboard. For other exams, such as Group II and IIA (Notification 11/2025), TNPSC publishes "marks and rank position in interactive mode", which it did on 29 June 2026.
