TNPSC CTSE Interview Posts Recruitment 2026: 170 Posts, Apply from 7 Sept

The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) has released Notification No. 8/2026 (Advertisement No. 741, dated 31 August 2026) for the Combined Technical Services Examination (CTSE) — Interview Posts. The notification covers 170 vacancies spread across 31 different technical and managerial posts, including Research Assistant and Assistant Manager, in various Tamil Nadu government departments and public-sector organisations. Since these are 'interview posts' under the CTSE scheme, selection for most of these posts is made through a written examination followed by a personal interview, unlike the larger non-interview CTSE posts which are filled by written exam alone. Eligibility, including educational qualification and age limit, varies by post and department, so candidates should check the detailed notification carefully. Online applications can be submitted from 7 September 2026 to 6 October 2026 through the TNPSC application portal. Candidates already registered on TNPSC's One Time Registration (OTR) platform can apply directly using their OTR number.
