Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) on Thursday directed candidates who claimed 'Outstanding Sportsperson' status in the Combined Civil Services Examination-IV (Group IV) to re-upload their sports achievement certificates after finding several submissions inadequate or defective.

The scrutiny covered candidates who had secured the minimum qualifying marks in the exam notified under Commission's Notification No. 07/2025 dated April 25, 2025. The Commission said the certificates uploaded by many candidates were either incomplete or did not meet the required norms.

TNPSC has given such candidates a final opportunity to re-upload the necessary or corrected documents through the One Time Registration portal from November 28 to December 5, 2025, up to 11.59 pm. Candidates have been individually informed via memorandum, e-mail and SMS.

The Commission cautioned that failure to upload any of the required certificates within the stipulated time would lead to rejection of their claim or candidature.
