One Time Registration (OTR) is mandatory on the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) portal before applying for Group 1, 2, 4, or any departmental examination.
Start online (fastest):
- Visit the official TNPSC portals (tnpsc.gov.in or tnpscexams.in).
- Click on 'One Time Registration (OTR)' -> 'New User'.
- Enter your 10th SSLC marksheet register number, board of education, date of birth, parent details, and Aadhaar number.
- Upload scanned passport photograph and signature as per prescribed specifications.
- Pay the one-time registration fee of ₹150 (valid for 5 years).
Important note:
- OTR is only a candidate profile repository, not an application for an exam. Whenever an exam notification is released, you must log in to your OTR dashboard and submit a specific application.
