When is the Group 1 Main Exam 2013 Results ?
The TNPSC Chairman has informed the media that the results of TNPSC Group 1 Main Exam will be declared with in 3 months.
As we all know, this year is a milestone in the history of TNPSC. We could see a rebirth of TNPSC with very new pattern of examinations and fully revised syllabus. Previously, the coaching centres trained students could only clear the examination easily and the students who didn't get opportunity to join in a coaching centre were struggling a lot to get a job in TNPSC.
I strongly believe that, here after we can see number of successful candidates out of coaching centres as the new syllabus will be very analytical than too much factual (previous years questions). You too can win the race if you are one with sincere efforts, continuous hard work and perseverance . No need to go to a coaching centre. You can prepare in your home whether you may working or home maker.
