Good news for thousands of uniformed services aspirants in Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board (TNUSRB) has released the final provisional selection list for its Common Recruitment 2025, covering Grade II Police Constables, Grade II Jail Warders and Firemen. The list was published on 1 November 2026, and candidates can now check whether their enrolment number figures in the PDF on the board’s official website, tnusrb.tn.gov.in.
The recruitment, advertised under Notification No. 02/2025 dated 21 August 2025, offered 3,644 vacancies across three departments: the Tamil Nadu Police Department, the Prison Department and the Fire and Rescue Services Department. It is one of the largest uniformed services recruitments in the state in recent years, and the final list brings a long selection process that began with a written examination on 9 November 2025 to a close.
What has been released
TNUSRB has published the Final Provisional Selection List in PDF format. The list is arranged in ascending order of enrolment numbers, with each number tagged by post: PC for Grade II Police Constable, JW for Grade II Jail Warder and FM for Fireman. Candidates who went through the written examination, Physical Measurement Test, Endurance Test, Physical Efficiency Test and Certificate Verification can now confirm their provisional selection status from this single document.
Along with the selection list, the board has also released category-wise cutoff marks. The cutoffs are compiled from a grand total of 100 marks, combining the mains written examination, PET marks out of 24 and special marks. The Part I Tamil Language Eligibility Test was qualifying in nature and does not count towards the final merit.
Cutoff marks at a glance
The highest cutoffs this year came from the Fireman post. Under the Open category for men, the General Turn cutoff stood at 88 marks for Fireman, followed by 87 marks for Jail Warder and 84.50 marks for Police Constable. For the Open PSTM Men (GT) category, the Fireman cutoff touched 90 marks, the highest overall. Among women candidates in the Open category, the General Turn cutoff was 81 marks for Jail Warder and 74 marks for Police Constable. Where candidates scored equal marks, the date of birth given in the PDF breaks the tie, with older candidates placed ahead.
Candidates should note that these are the cutoffs published alongside the final list, and the exact category-wise figures for every community and special category are available in the official PDF.
How to check the TNUSRB final result PDF
- Visit the official TNUSRB website at tnusrb.tn.gov.in.
- Look for the link to the Final Provisional Selection List for Common Recruitment 2025 on the homepage or in the results section.
- Open the PDF and search for your enrolment number using the find option (Ctrl+F).
- Check the post code next to your number: PC, JW or FM.
- Download and save a copy of the PDF for future reference.
Candidates are advised to rely only on the official website for the list. Several unofficial websites are already carrying copies, but the board’s PDF remains the authoritative version, and any correction or clarification will appear on tnusrb.tn.gov.in first.
Provisional does not mean final appointment yet
The word provisional matters here. Selection in the list is subject to a medical examination, verification of the genuineness of certificates, and verification of character and antecedents by the appointing authority, as per the applicable recruitment rules. The board has also stated that the declaration of results and the selections are subject to the final outcome of pending writ appeals, special leave petitions, writ petitions and other proceedings before competent courts or judicial forums.
In practice, this means provisionally selected candidates should keep their original certificates ready, watch for the medical examination and joining instructions from their respective departments, and avoid paying anyone who promises to speed up appointment. No genuine TNUSRB process asks candidates for money after selection.
What comes next for selected candidates
Once the verification stages are complete, the Police Department, Prison Department and Fire and Rescue Services Department will move ahead with appointments for their respective posts. Candidates who do not find their number in the list should not lose heart: TNUSRB runs these common recruitments regularly, and the experience of the written test and physical stages carries forward into the next attempt. Keeping documents, fitness levels and Tamil eligibility preparation current is the practical way to stay ready.
A quick check of the PDF on tnusrb.tn.gov.in settles it, and the cutoff marks give everyone else a clear target for the next round.
