Notes

TNPSC Group 4 — Study material for this exam

A reading list by part.
Part	What to work from
Tamil	The state board Tamil textbooks for the sixth to tenth standards — grammar, prose, poetry and their authors — and the six published papers.
General science	The state board science textbooks to the tenth standard.
History, geography, polity, economy	The state board social science textbooks to the tenth standard, with the Tamil Nadu chapters read twice.
Tamil Nadu history, culture and movements	The state board history textbooks and a short history of the Tamil country.
Current events	A weekly digest, with the state’s schemes and administration.
Aptitude and mental ability	The state board mathematics textbooks to the tenth standard and a reasoning question bank.

The textbooks are the syllabus

The commission sets every part at SSLC standard and the state board textbooks are the specification of that standard. A candidate who has read the sixth-to-tenth Tamil and social science books thoroughly has read the syllabus; a candidate working from a coaching compilation has read someone’s summary of it.
