TNPSC February 28: Fee Deadline Extended; March 15 Test On Track The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) has extended the deadline for Group 2/2A mains fee payments to 5 March, while confirming the Tamil Eligibility Test remains scheduled for 15 March. This adjustment follows recent disruptions caused by statewide protests, which led to venue-related cancellations. The updated timeline aims to resolve uncertainties and ensure smoother preparations for candidates. Additionally, admit cards for Combined Technical Services (CTS) computer-based tests (CBTs) are now available for download, with exams set for 7–8 March. The revised fee payment window provides candidates with more time to complete transactions, though it is recommended to finalize payments early to avoid server congestion. Candidates must retain transaction references and print receipts for verification. The TNPSC portal will display payment status updates, and any discrepancies should be addressed promptly by contacting support. The confirmed exam calendar has intensified activity in coaching centers, print shops, and internet cafes across Tamil Nadu. Increased demand is expected for travel services, including buses and trains, during the March 15 exam weekend. Accommodations near district headquarters may face higher occupancy rates. Payment gateways in the state could experience elevated traffic as candidates complete fees before the 5 March deadline. Candidates are advised to plan for potential portal slowdowns near the payment deadline. Using off-peak hours and stable internet connections can help mitigate delays. If banking channels are slow, alternative payment methods should be considered, with status verification completed by 5 March.#tamil_nadu #tamil_nadu_public_service_commission #tamil_eligibility_test #combined_technical_services #tamil_nadu_protests
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
