How to prepare

1. Recent colour passport-style photo; no caps, hats or dark glasses.
2. Coloured, busy or edited backgrounds get photos rejected.
3. Beautified, filtered or AI-generated photos fail the portal photo check.
4. The photograph must be taken on or after 30 January 2024 (this notification's date); an older photo is not accepted for this application.
5. Frontal view showing both ears and part of the neck, against a white background, taken in a photo studio.
6. Print the candidate's name and the date of photography at the bottom of the photograph itself — use the "Print name & date" strip below to do this.
7. For a fresh One Time Registration (OTR) profile, TNPSC separately asks for a photo taken within the last 3 months; keep both rules in mind if you register and apply the same day.
