TN TRB PG Assistant 2025 Recruitment Process
The Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board conducts the PG Assistant recruitment examination to fill teaching positions for Classes XI and XII across government schools in the state. Candidates first take the competitive written exam. Those who qualify are called for Certificate Verification (CV).
The provisional selection list is prepared based on the combined performance in the written exam, reservation rules, and fulfillment of eligibility criteria. However, provisional selection is only valid after document verification and final eligibility confirmation by the Board.

What the Provisional Selection List Means

- Appeared for certificate verification,
- Submitted all required original documents,
- Met eligibility requirements as per official TRB notification.
Provisional selection is not the final appointment. Actual appointment orders are issued only after:
- Verification of all original certificates,
- Final confirmation by the appointing authority,
- No discrepancies in qualifications or documents.

Understanding the Ineligible List
The Ineligible List contains candidates whose applications, though initially shortlisted, were found to be non-compliant at the certificate verification stage. Common reasons for being marked ineligible include:
The Ineligible List contains candidates whose applications, though initially shortlisted, were found to be non-compliant at the certificate verification stage. Common reasons for being marked ineligible include:
- Mismatched academic qualifications,
- Missing or incorrect original documents,
- Discrepancies in degree validity,
- Incorrect equivalence certificates,
- Category or reservation claim discrepancies.
When a name appears in this list, it indicates that the candidate’s credentials did not meet TRB’s eligibility verification requirements — even if the written exam was passed.
Candidates must carefully check both lists to confirm their status. Being absent from the provisional list but also not on the ineligible list may indicate pending updates or additional lists to be published.
Why Candidates Must Check Both Lists
Because TN TRB issues separate lists for each subject and category, a candidate’s status may differ across different subject lists, especially if they applied for more than one vacancy or subject category.
Checking both lists is crucial to:
- Confirm provisional selection,
- Identify if rejected due to eligibility issues,
- Plan next steps for documentation correction or future attempts,
- Address any discrepancies early.
Always download and save the PDF list for your subject of application from the official TRB portal.
What to Do If You Are Provisional Selected
If your name appears in the Provisional Selection List:
- Prepare all original documents for final appointment verification.
- Ensure your certificates are in order, including UG, PG, B.Ed., and other statutory certificates as per the TRB notification.
- Monitor official updates for appointment letters or next steps.
- Respond promptly to any calls from the appointing authority to avoid unnecessary delays.
This provisional selection indicates you are on the verge of appointment pending final document check.
What to Do If You Are Listed as Ineligible
If your name appears in the Ineligible List:
- Carefully read the reasons provided in the list (if available).
- Assess whether the issue can be rectified (e.g., wrong certificate upload, missing attestation).
- Prepare proper supporting documents if there was a clerical or submission error.
- For issues related to equivalence or eligibility, consider re-evaluation or future exam attempts.
- Track official communications from TRB for possible appeal or clarification windows.
Being listed as ineligible does not always mean permanent disqualification — some issues, if genuine and resolvable, may be corrected for future cycles.
Key Tips for PG TRB Aspirants
Verify Eligibility Before Applying
Before submitting your application, ensure your academic records, degrees, and certificates meet all eligibility norms outlined in the TRB notification.
Prepare Required Documents Early
Gather all documents — original and attested copies — well before certificate verification dates. This includes mark sheets, degrees, B.Ed certificates, community certificates, equivalence letters, etc.
Understand Subject Rules
Different subjects may have specific eligibility rules, especially interdisciplinary subjects or professional qualifications. Cross-verify your subject requirements before applying.
Monitor Official Updates
The TRB website often publishes revisions, updated lists, or corrections. Frequent checking prevents surprises.
Final Thoughts
The release of Provisional Selection Lists and Ineligible Lists for the 2025 PG TRB exam marks a key stage in the teacher recruitment process.
By checking your name carefully in both lists — subject-wise — you gain clarity on your status and can act accordingly.
Remember, provisional selection opens the door to appointment, while ineligibility highlights gaps that need attention or correction.
Knowing where you stand empowers you to plan your next steps effectively, whether that means preparing for appointment formalities or rectifying eligibility issues for future attempts.
Stay informed, verify your documents, and act promptly — because in high-stakes recruitment like PG TRB, attention to detail matters as much as performance
