What Exactly Has TNPSC Released?

The Main Written Examination of Group II and IIA Services is a descriptive examination, so instead of a conventional OMR answer key, TNPSC has hosted the Descriptive Answer Booklets (Paper I & II). These are the scanned copies of the answer sheets written by candidates in the Main Written Examination. Candidates can log in with their OTR ID and download their own answer booklet after paying the prescribed fee, then compare their written responses against the question paper. Because the answer booklets are released without official model answers, this facility is intended to give candidates a copy of their own evaluated answer sheet for reference.
