The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) has published the provisional list of candidates shortlisted for the upcoming Certificate Verification (CV) stage of the Combined Civil Services Examination-IV (Group 4 Services) 2025. The notification confirms that shortlisted candidates must complete the document upload or physical verification process by November 7, 2025.
What has TNPSC notified?
- Shortlisted candidates’ list for Group 4 Services has been released.
- Candidates are required to upload their educational certificates, category certificates, and other required credentials through the commission’s One-Time Registration (OTR) portal or otherwise comply with the prescribed process.
- The verification window runs from the date of notification until November 7, 2025. Failure to comply may lead to exclusion from further rounds.
Important Instructions for Uploading Documents
- Candidates who have attained their class or category certificates online must ensure the document is in their own name; certificates issued under a spouse’s name (for example) will be rejected.
- Key fields such as candidate’s name, father’s name, certificate number must match exactly across documents. Any discrepancies must be rectified using an affidavit or government order where applicable.
- Documents related to specially-abled persons, ex-servicemen, and other special categories must also be uploaded within the window to avoid disqualification.
- After the online uploading phase, physical verification or counselling dates will be announced separately via TNPSC’s website.
What Happens Next?
Once the document upload/verification phase is completed:
- TNPSC will schedule physical certificate verification (if required) and counselling for final post-allocation.
- Candidates meeting all eligibility and verification norms will move to the final posting stage.
- Those failing to upload or verify by the deadline will lose chance of allotment under Group 4 Services.
Key Dates at a Glance
Why it Matters?
Group 4 Services under TNPSC include essential field-level and ministerial posts such as VAO, Junior Assistant, Typist, etc. Clearing the written exam is only the first step; certificate verification ensures that candidates meet eligibility criteria in real terms. Non-compliance or document issues post short-listing often leads to candidates being disqualified.
