Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) goes online for applying for jobs


Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) goes online for applying for jobs

The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) on 2nd April 2012 dispensed with the system of manual applications and embarked on an online mode where candidates will have to register once and obtain unique identity.

This is to simplify the procedure and came in to force immediately. The TNPSC also created a new website for the aspirants to register and get an unique identity. This identity will be valid for five years.

Candidates seeking employment through the commission will have to visit www.tnpsc.gov.in   or www.tnpscexams.net  and register online by attaching their recent photograph and signature in digital format. They should pay Rs.50 at the time of registration valid for five years. No application fee would be charged during the period.

The TNPSC Chairman R. Nataraj said that “The candidate need not enclose any certificate while registering though he/she has to enter the reference number, name of the qualifying certificate, issuing authority etc. On completion of the registration process, the system will generate unique identity/password and send it via email/SMS to the candidate. Candidates will have the option to edit/update their particulars except certain critical fields.”

Mr. Nataraj said that candidates should mention the unique identity in all applications sent to the commission. Facilitation centres would come up at 500 locations, at least two in each taluk, across the State to enable candidates register. District Collectors are also empowered to open new counters based on the demand.

The Chairman also said that “The facilitation centres to be established on a permanent basis in about a week's time will be equipped with computers, internet connectivity, scanners etc to assist the candidates to register and apply to various recruitments online. All the 285 Post Offices where TNPSC applications were hitherto available and about 200 branches of Indian Bank will have facilitation centres located on their premises,”

Besides the designated post offices and all branches of Indian Bank in the State, the one-time registration/examination fee can be paid through net banking, credit card and debit card, Mr. Nataraj said.

TNPSC Secretary Mr. Udhayachandran said candidates registering online would receive acknowledgement by email or SMS within 10 seconds.

Online registration would be mandatory for all posts called for from mid-April.
