TNPSC Group 2A — Reading previous papers properly

The answer-keys page holds the common prelims with final keys for 2025, 2024, 2022, 2018, 2015 and 2013, the Group IIA mains of February 2025 with its final key, and the March 2026 mains with a tentative key. The descriptive-papers page holds the Tamil eligibility test for March 2026 and February 2025. That is a full set for the current scheme.

How to work the archive

  • Sit the 2025 and 2026 mains to time — 200 questions in three hours, on a screen if possible, then check against the key. Note the split between general studies and reasoning.
  • Sit the prelims with the blank rule — option E for every unknown, half a mark off per blank.
  • Work the language section as its own paper — a hundred SSLC-standard questions, with the published unit weights.
  • Use the Tamil eligibility papers early — the gate is the easiest paper to prepare from.
