NICL AO Admit Card 2026: Prelims Hall Ticket 7 Nov, Exam 17 Nov
Big update for TNPSC aspirants: the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission has released the TNPSC Group 2 Hall Ticket 2026 for the Combined Civil Services Examination-II (Group II and IIA Services) under Notification No. 07/2026. The preliminary exam is on 1 November 2026, 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Download your hall ticket from the official TNPSC examination portal and take a clear printout — it is your entry document for the exam hall.
First, don’t get confused by the name — “Memorandum of Admission” IS your hall ticket
If you open the TNPSC portal and can’t find anything called “Admit Card”, don’t panic. TNPSC officially issues its hall ticket as a Memorandum of Admission through its examination portal. It is the same document — your admit card, entry pass and identification sheet for the exam venue. When you see “Memorandum of Admission” on the portal, that’s the file you need to download and print.
This naming trips up thousands of candidates every year, so now that the confusion is cleared, here’s everything else you need to know about the TNPSC Group 2 Hall Ticket 2026.

How to Download TNPSC Group 2 Hall Ticket 2026
The hall ticket is available through the TNPSC examination portal. You will need your login credentials from the time you applied. Follow these steps:
- Open the TNPSC hall ticket portal using the official download link (Row 1 of the Important Links table below), or go through the official website tnpsc.gov.in.
- Look for the hall ticket section for the Combined Civil Services Examination-II (Group II and IIA Services) under Notification No. 07/2026.
- Enter the login details asked on the page (your application/registration credentials).
- Submit the details to open your hall ticket.
- Check your name, exam details, exam centre and reporting instructions carefully.
- Download the hall ticket and take a clear printout for exam day.
Forgot your login details? This is the single most common problem on hall-ticket day. Before panicking, check your registered email and mobile number — TNPSC sends the registration credentials at the time of application. The portal usually also offers an “applicant forgot credentials” option. Sort this out today; don’t leave it for 31 October.
Details to Verify on Your Hall Ticket
Your hall ticket is your entry document — any error in it can create trouble at the gate. As soon as you download it, verify every one of these:
- Candidate’s name — spelling must match your ID proof.
- Application or registration number.
- Photograph and other identification details.
- Examination name and notification number (should read Combined Civil Services Examination-II, 07/2026).
- Exam date and session (1 November 2026, 9:30 AM–12:30 PM).
- Examination centre and address.
- Reporting time and entry instructions.
- Exam-day guidelines printed on the ticket.
If anything looks wrong — a misspelt name, a wrong photograph, a centre you can’t find — contact the TNPSC helpdesk immediately instead of hoping it will be sorted at the venue.
What the Prelims Paper Looks Like (Pattern at a Glance)
The preliminary paper is objective in nature and answered on an OMR sheet. Media coverage of the exam reports the following pattern — confirm the final version against the official notification before the exam:
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Number of Questions | 200 |
| Maximum Marks | 300 |
| Minimum Qualifying Mark | 90 |
| Duration | 3 hours |
| Question Type | Objective, answered on an OMR sheet |
Note the minimum qualifying mark of 90 — the prelims is a screening test, and clearing the cut-off only takes you to the mains. Budget your 3 hours accordingly: don’t sink too long into any single question.
What to Carry to the Exam Centre
- A clear printed copy of your hall ticket.
- Valid identity proof, as instructed on the hall ticket. Media coverage of the exam mentions carrying a photocopy of your ID as well — cheap insurance, do it.
- A black-ink ballpoint pen for the OMR sheet. This is specific and non-negotiable — TNPSC wants black ink on the OMR.
Exam Day Instructions — Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Reach early: arrive well before the reporting time. Media coverage of the exam advises arriving one hour early — gate closures are strict and late entry is not allowed.
- Locate your centre in advance: check the exam centre address the day before so you don’t lose time on exam day.
- Leave the banned items behind: do not carry mobile phones, smartwatches, books or bags into the exam hall.
- Follow the OMR rules: fill the OMR sheet exactly as instructed — wrong shading technique or the wrong pen can cost you marks no revision can recover.
- Complete identity verification when asked by the exam staff.
- Read the entry restrictions and venue closing time printed on your hall ticket before the exam day.
Keep the hall ticket safe even after the exam. The Commission may ask for it at later stages of the selection process, so don’t toss the printout on 1 November evening.
