Open solved paperWe analysed all three papers question by question — see the topics that come back every year and the questions that reappeared word-for-word, solved and explained.
See the repeated questionsThe TNPSC Group 4 (Combined Civil Services Examination IV) paper is set to a repeating pattern, so previous year questions are the single best guide to what actually gets asked. The exam has a Tamil Eligibility-cum-Scoring test and a General Studies with Aptitude section, and both reward candidates who have seen the question style before.
Working through solved papers does three things at once: it shows you the recurring topics, it trains your timing, and — because every question here is explained — it fills the gaps in your understanding as you go. With the exam in December 2026, the earlier you start on past papers, the more of these patterns you will have internalised.
Pair these papers with the free TNPSC Group 4 syllabus guides to revise any topic a question exposes as weak.
