Junior Assistant in TNPSC Group 4

Junior Assistant is one of the recurring clerical posts under TNPSC Group 4, alongside VAO, Bill Collector, Typist and Steno-Typist.

What a Junior Assistant does

Junior Assistants handle office and clerical work across Tamil Nadu government departments — file work, correspondence, record-keeping and general administrative support. It is an indoor, office-based post, unlike the field-based VAO role.

How it is filled

Junior Assistant posts are filled through the same CCSE-IV written exam. There is no interview; selection is on written-exam merit. Typing ability is not required for the general Junior Assistant post, though typing and shorthand posts under Group 4 do need the relevant technical certificate.

Eligibility

The standard Group 4 eligibility applies: an SSLC pass, the 18–32 age limit with category relaxations, and mandatory knowledge of Tamil.
