Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister has increased the age limit for state government job recruitment by five years, a move welcomed by aspirants who had requested the change.
The Chief Minister announced the change in a statement today, extending the upper age limit for all state government recruitment exams by five years.
The decision follows a sustained demand from aspirants who argued that the existing age cut‑off was hindering their chances of securing public sector employment.
The new age limit will apply to all categories, including general, reserved and other special provisions, and will be reflected in the upcoming recruitment notifications.
Officials said the change will be implemented from the next recruitment cycle, and the government will update the eligibility criteria on its official website.
