A new update has been shared regarding the Group 2 recruitment process. The result of the Group 2 preliminary examination has now been announced, and the list of candidates shortlisted for the next stage is available online. This update also covers Group 2A candidates who appeared in the same recruitment cycle.
The selection list has been uploaded on the official website, tnpsc.gov.in, where candidates can check whether their registration number is included.
What Is Included in the Group 2 Result Update?
As per the released data, 1,126 candidates have cleared the preliminary exam under Group 2, while 9,457 candidates have been shortlisted under Group 2A. These candidates are now eligible to appear for the Combined Civil Services Examination II main examination.
The preliminary test was conducted to fill 828 vacancies under this recruitment.
When Was the Group 2 Preliminary Exam Held?
The preliminary examination for Group 2 and Group 2A posts was conducted on 28 September 2025. For this exam cycle, more than five lakh candidates were issued hall tickets, and over four lakh candidates actually took part in the examination.
The commission had earlier informed that the result would be announced in December 2025, and the shortlisted lists have now been published as promised.
Main Examination Shortlisting Details
The commission has released separate lists containing registration numbers of candidates who are provisionally allowed to appear for the main examination. These lists cover posts under Combined Civil Services Examination–II (Volume II and IIA Services).
The shortlisting is purely provisional and subject to further verification during later stages.
Important Update on Group 2A Main Exam Mode
Earlier, the notification mentioned that Paper II of the Group 2A main examination (covering General Knowledge, General Intelligence, and Reasoning) would be held in computer-based mode. However, the commission has now clarified that, due to administrative reasons, this paper will instead be conducted in OMR mode.
Candidates should take note of this change while preparing for the main examination.
