Hi,

I dont know if you got the information already.

Yes you are eligible.

"Candidate should possess a Degree of any of the Universities incorporated by an Act of the
Central or State Legislature in India or any other educational institutions established by an
Act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under section 3 of the
University Grants Commission Act, 1956."


if you dint have tamil as your language in SSLC, you will have to pass in the first 2 years of service of the departmental exam of tnpsc.

For Group 1 Prelims: You have to be strong in Current Affairs, General Studies( better if you revise Std 6 - 10 all state board text books, Standard 11,12 Biology, economics, statistics, commerce, and Ethics and Culture book of std 12)
Tamilnadu Government Website - for schemes
Yojana/Thittam books of the Publication division - for social issues and schemes
Then be well versed in the current affairs especially of last year

how prepare tnpsc group 1 exam

How to prepare? Well im saying what ive heard.

1) Systematic study of 6-10 state board books
2) 11,12 - biology books + Indian Culture Books of 12 standard
3) Brush up the current affairs of the last 2 years.
4) Show interest in the Peoples problems and understand how they are being handled and how it can be handled
5) Buckle up the aptitude tests, Practise them.
6) Thamizh Ilakkiya varalaru - Book
The above ones can be objectively studied for the Prelims.

As you might know for Group I we have Prelims and then Mains.

For Mains the concentration would get descriptive rather than objective.

Hence here the depth of knowledge is tested. Presentation skills and the Knowledge is deeply tested with the help of two papers.
