TNPSC: For lakhs of candidates across Tamil Nadu, the wait for the TNPSC Group IV Result 2025 feels longer with each passing day. This exam, seen as a gateway to secure government jobs in the state, has turned into one of the most competitive challenges ever, with nearly 11.48 lakh candidates vying for only 3,935 posts.
A Sea of Aspirants, A Handful of Posts
The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) conducted the Group IV exam on July 12, 2025 for various posts including Village Administrative Officer, Junior Assistant, and Typist. Out of the 13.89 lakh applications, around 11.48 lakh candidates appeared for the exam. That means 287 candidates are fighting for each post, with the final selection rate dropping to just under 0.35%.
To put it simply, only about 3.5 candidates out of every 1,000 will make it through. For aspirants, this highlights the intense pressure and uncertainty that surrounds this single stage examination where the marks scored directly decide appointments.
Why This Year Feels Tougher Than Ever
This year’s exam was described as one of the most difficult in recent memory. Candidates and coaching experts reported that more than half of the 100 Tamil subject questions were unusually complex and not aligned with the syllabus. This left many students frustrated, as the unexpected difficulty has made predicting cut offs even harder.
When Will the Results Be Released?
Looking at TNPSC’s past record, the result timelines have varied. Since 2013, results for Group IV exams have been released within three to five months in most cases. In 2023, the results took more than a year, sparking controversy. However, in 2024, results were published within three months, bringing some relief.
With the 2026 assembly elections approaching, many believe the commission will act swiftly to release results this time to avoid unnecessary stress among candidates and potential political criticism. TNPSC Chairman S.K. Prabhakar has already assured transparency and accountability, emphasizing that the results will be published within three months of the exam.
