TNPSC Cut-Off Marks
Cut-off marks are important in deciding whether a candidate advances to the next stage of the recruitment process. These marks are the minimum scores that candidates must achieve to be eligible for the main exam. The cut-off changes each year. To ensure fair representation, different categories—such as General, OBC, SC, ST, and PwD—often have their own specific cut-off marks.
After evaluating the preliminary exam, the TNPSC releases the official cut-off marks. Candidates who meet or exceed these marks are shortlisted for the main exam. It is important to note that scoring above the cut-off qualifies a candidate for the next stage but does not guarantee final selection.
Candidates can view the expected cut-off marks below according to their category and remember that these are not the official cut-off marks; the actual scores will be published on the official website

TNPSC Group 2 & 2A Merit List
The merit list for the TNPSC Group 2 exam includes candidates who have scored above the cut-off marks in the preliminary examination. This list is prepared based on their performance, and those who appear on it are eligible to advance to the next stage of the selection process, which is the main exam. The merit list is crucial because it determines which candidates will continue in the recruitment process.
