TNPSC extends fee payment deadline for Group 2 exams The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) has announced a special extension for the payment of the main examination fee for the Combined Civil Services Examination – Group 2 and 2A, offering relief to candidates who missed the earlier deadline. The Group 2 and 2A main examinations were originally scheduled to be held on the 8th, but confusion over the allotment of examination centres triggered protests in Chennai, with some aspirants staging road blockades. Initially, the exams were postponed only in Chennai, but TNPSC later decided to cancel the examinations across Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, the Tamil Eligibility Test (Part A) for the Group 2 and 2A main examination is set to be conducted on March 15 as part of the Combined Civil Services Main Examination process. Providing a major relief to candidates, TNPSC has reopened the fee payment window and allowed aspirants to pay the main examination fee until March 5, 11:59 pm. Candidates must complete the payment through the One Time Registration (OTR) portal within the stipulated time. The Commission has informed eligible candidates individually through SMS and email notifications regarding the extended deadline. Aspirants have been advised to verify their registered contact details and ensure timely completion of the payment process. The decision to extend the fee payment deadline comes amid logistical challenges and public unrest over the examination schedule. The protests in Chennai highlighted the frustration of candidates who faced uncertainty about the exam centres and the subsequent cancellation of the exams.#chennai #tamil_nadu_public_service_commission #tamil_eligibility_test #combined_civil_services_examination #group_2
