TNPSC Group 4 2026: Eligibility, Age Limit, Vacancy & Selection Process
Vacancies not announced
Class 10 level
Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission
Updated
The largest government opportunity in Tamil Nadu for anybody without a degree, and the one most often filed away as clerical work. Village Administrative Officer sits inside the revenue chain with real authority over land records, and it is filled from a school certificate. There is no interview — the written mark decides everything, which makes it the most transparent large recruitment in the state and the most unforgiving.

TNPSC Group 4 age limit and relaxation 2026
The age limit for TNPSC Group 4 2026 is 18 to 29 years as on 01 Jul 2026. The Tamil Nadu domicile certificate is what unlocks any relaxation, and it is checked at document verification — apply for it before the form opens, not after you clear the written stage.
| Category | Relaxation | Effective maximum age |
|---|---|---|
| General / EWS | No relaxation | 29 years |
| Reserved categories, women, PwD, ex-servicemen | Set by Tamil Nadu government rules for Tamil Nadu domicile candidates — read the upper age for your category in the notification | |
Do not add the central relaxation here
The OBC +3 / SC-ST +5 figures that apply to SSC and UPSC are central rules. TNPSC Group 4 follows Tamil Nadu's own, and they apply only to Tamil Nadu domicile — a reserved-category candidate from another state is assessed as General, at 29. Full age relaxation rules →
