The Commission conducted the TNPSC Group 4 exam 2024 on June 9, 2024. The cutoff provides a tentative idea about the approximate marks required to get selected in the exam. Based on the marks of the candidates, the selected candidates wil be called for Post-wise TNPSC Group 4 Counselling. The TNPSC Group 4 2024 notification was released on January 30, 2024. The last date for the TNPSC Group 4 application was February 29, 2024.

Q:   What is TNPSC Group 4 Cutoff?

A:

The TNPSC Group 4 Cut-off marks are the minimum scores required for candidates to qualify for selection in the exam. The cut-off is determined based on factors like the number of candidates, vacancies, difficulty level of the exam, and previous year cut-off scores. For TNPSC Group 4, candidates need to secure at least 90 marks out of 300 to qualify for further stages.

Q:   What is the TNPSC Group 4 pass mark?

A:

A. The TNPSC Group 4 notification states the minimum pass marks. The candidates need to score Ninety marks (90) out of three hundred marks. The candidates should not consider the pass marks as the cutoff marks. Both are different. The pass marks make a candidate eligible for selection but do not ensure it. On the other hand, TNPSC Group 4 cutoff is the mark where the candidate is selected for the next round. TNPSC Group 4 exam is a competitive exam and no score can be said as safe unless the final result.

Q:   What is the difference between the cutoff mark and the qualifying mark for TNPSC Group 4 examination?

A:

The cutoff mark and the qualifying mark for the TNPSC Group 4 examination are two different concepts:

Cutoff Mark: The cutoff mark is the minimum score required to pass the exam and move to the next stage of the selection process. It is determined by the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) after conducting the exam. The cutoff mark varies each year based on factors such as the number of vacancies, difficulty level of the paper, and the number of candidates who appear for the exam

Qualifying Marks: The qualifying marks are the minimum marks required to be eligible for the exam. These marks are mentioned in the official TNPSC Group 4 notification and are necessary for a candidate to appear in the exam. The qualifying marks are different from the cutoff marks, as they do not determine the selection process but rather the eligibility to appear in the exam
