If an aspirant does not get through the qualifying Tamil language paper, other subject papers that are part of the overall exam scheme, would not be taken up for evaluation, the order said.

Other state recruitment agencies including the Teachers Recruitment Board, Medical Services Recruitment Board, TN Uniformed Services Recruitment Board and TN Forest Uniformed Services Recruitment Committee will soon release similar guidelines, the GO said.
