My hall ticket won't download. What now?

Try a desktop browser and clear cache first; portal load peaks in the final days. If it still fails, raise it through the portal grievance option well before exam day.

Which ID should I carry with the hall ticket?

An original photo ID as specified in the notification/hall-ticket instructions (Aadhaar is the commonly used one). Photocopies are not accepted.

How to Download Your TNPSC Hall Ticket

Hall tickets typically release one to two weeks before the exam. Download early, verify every field, and don't leave printing to exam-day morning.

Step 1
Log in to the portal when the release is announced
Hall tickets appear in your OTR dashboard for the specific exam. TNPSC announces the release on tnpsc.gov.in; ignore third-party 'download' links.
Step 2
Verify every field immediately
Name, photo, exam centre, date and session must be correct. A wrong photo or name needs a grievance raised before exam day, not at the gate.
Step 3
Print two copies
Carry one, keep one spare. A phone screenshot is not a substitute where a printed hall ticket is required.
Step 4
Note the reporting time and gate-closure rule
Gates close before the exam starts, arriving with the printed hall ticket and the specified original photo ID after closure means missing the exam.
