TNPSC Study Material | Shankar IAS Academy

TNPSC Group exams are the state-level administrative services exam conducted by Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission. The TNPSC Group 1 Exam is conducted on similar lines as the UPSC IAS Exam and there is an overlap of the syllabus as well. Understanding the exam pattern and syllabus is very important for an aspirant so that they don’t waste time reading irrelevant content from TNPSC.

The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) is a constitutional body which assists the state government in matters of recruitment, transfers and disciplinary actions. The TNPSC conducts recruitment exams (competitive, departmental) for filling up vacancies in the state administration. The patterns/schemes of all the TNPSC exams can be found on the official website of the commission.

It is suggested to go thorough the syllabus from the TNPSC website according to the group of exams one is going to prepare. Going through the syllabus is very important whenever you learn a topic so that you do not dive deep into the content unnecessary.

Start by analysing the previous year’s question papers for the particular exam. Understand the structure, pattern, weightage and areas of questions. It is suggested to have a segregation of questions in a particular place (digitally or physical notes) according to the topics and prepare the answers for the questions of the same topic from the previous year’s papers. All of the topics are covered in our TNPSC study material.
