Candidates on TNPSC’s new Forest Watcher verification list have from 12 to 21 November to upload their details, or they drop out of the next stage.
The window opens on Thursday and shuts on 21 November.
The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, தமிழ்நாடு அரசு பணியாளர் தேர்வாணையம் in Tamil, published on Tuesday the second list for Phase XI of its onscreen certificate verification for Forest Watcher posts, filled through the Combined Civil Services Examination IV (Group IV) under Notification No. 01/2024. Press release No. 128/2026, signed by the Commission’s Secretary, says the list was drawn up on the basis of rank, the rule of reservation and the vacancies available. Candidates named on it have to upload their details through the One Time Registration platform on the Commission’s website between 12 November and 21 November 2026, and the release is blunt about the cost of missing that date: those who do not upload in time cannot take part in the next stage.
A recruitment that began in January 2024
Notification No. 01/2024 is old by the standards of anyone still waiting on it. Online registration opened on 30 January 2024 and closed on 28 February 2024. The written examination was held on the forenoon of 9 June 2024, and the rank list followed on 28 October 2024. Since then the Commission has worked through Forest Guard and Forest Watcher posts in phases, calling candidates for verification in batches as vacancies are matched to ranks.
This is the eleventh such phase for the post.
Field Assistant tests run this week
A separate group is on the ground from today. Under press release No. 126/2026 of 30 October, TNPSC is holding physical tests for Field Assistant posts from 11 to 14 November 2026, for candidates under Notification No. 13/2025 dated 3 September 2025. The Commission said it would send admission details to candidates by email and SMS, and that they should also take them from its website.
Both notices sit among more than a dozen press releases the Commission has issued since 1 October, from answer keys for technical posts to the Group II preliminary examination of 1 November.
Candidates with problems can reach the Commission’s toll-free line, 1800 419 0958, or write to its grievance cell. TNPSC is at Thervaanaiyam Salai, Broadway, Chennai 600 003.
