Real TNPSC Group 2 question papers, free to read online - in English and Tamil, with TNPSC's official answer key hidden behind a Show Answer button on every question. Pick a paper below and solve it like the real exam.
Previous year papers show you the real standard of the exam - how TNPSC asks, how long the questions are, and which units carry more weight. Use them like this:
Yes. Every paper on this page is reproduced in full from the official TNPSC question paper, in English and Tamil, with nothing changed. The answers follow TNPSC's own official tentative answer key for that exam.
Yes. Every answer follows the official tentative answer key TNPSC published on tnpsc.gov.in for that exam. Where TNPSC placed a question before its Expert Committee instead of giving a final answer, the paper page says so on that question instead of guessing.
The full Group 2/2A Preliminary exam paper has 200 questions in 3 hours: 100 language questions (General Tamil or General English) plus 100 General Studies and Aptitude questions (75 General Studies and 25 Aptitude and Mental Ability). There is no negative marking.
That option is TNPSC's own. There is no negative marking, and TNPSC adds "(E) Answer not known" to every question so candidates can honestly skip instead of blind-guessing. Choosing E scores zero, the same as a wrong answer.
First attempt a paper under exam timing without looking at the answers, then use the Show Answer buttons to check. Note which units your mistakes come from and revise those units before re-attempting. Most toppers work through previous year papers in the final weeks before the exam.
Our Focus Group 2 test series follows the official syllabus and weightage - full 200-question papers, answer keys and video explanations for every test, built for the 1 November 2026 Prelims.
