Following the written examination held on November 9, 2025, the board released the provisional shortlist on December 26, 2025, marking a significant milestone for thousands of uniformed service aspirants in the state.
Official Cut-Off Marks 2025 (Category-Wise)
The cut-off marks represent the minimum score required in the main written exam (out of 70) to qualify for the next stage. As per the official notification, the cut-off varies significantly based on category, gender, and special reservations like PSTM (Persons Studied in Tamil Medium).
| Category | General (Men) | Women | PSTM (General) |
| GT (General) | 61.00 | 55.00 | 60.00 |
| BC | 55.00 | 47.00 | 53.00 |

Minimum Qualifying Marks
To even be considered for the merit list, candidates had to clear two primary hurdles:
- Tamil Language Eligibility Test (Paper 1): Candidates must score at least 40% (32 marks out of 80). This paper is qualifying in nature and its marks are not added to the final merit.
- Main Written Exam (Paper 2): A minimum of 25 marks was required as a baseline qualifying score, though the actual competitive cut-off (as shown above) is much higher.
