TNUSRB Exams

The TamilNadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board was constituted to select suitable personnel in the following categories for the departments noted below:

The Madras Service Commission came into being under an Act of the Madras Legislature in 1929. Madras Presidency had the unique honour, of being the only province in India to establish the first Service Commission. The Madras Service Commission started with three Members, including the Chairman. After re-organisation of States in 1957, several Commissions were constituted. The Madras Service Commission became Madras Public Service Commission with headquarters at Madras in the year 1957. During 1970, when the name of the State was changed into Tamil Nadu, the Madras Public Service Commission automatically became the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC).

In view of its important and impartial function, Public Service Commissions rightly find a place of pride in the Indian Constitution. Articles 16, 234, 315 to 323 deal with various functions and powers of the Public Service Commissions. The working of Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission is also regulated by Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission Regulation, 1954 and the TNPSC Rules of Procedure.

The TAMIL NADU PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION (TNPSC) conducts examinations regularly for recruitment for various positions including the Group I, Group II (CSSE-I), Group IV Services and Village Administrative Officer (VAO).
