TNTRB Exam: Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board Examination Deferred to February 4

The Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board (TN TRB) has extended the examination date for the direct recruitment of Graduate Teachers / Block Resource Teacher Educators (BRTE) exam. According to the official notification, the board has now scheduled the examination on February 4, 2024. The decision comes after receiving requests from candidates affected by heavy rain and flood to defer the examination. Earlier, the Tamil Nadu Teacher Recruitment examination (OMR-based) was scheduled to be conducted on January 7, 2024.

As per the notification released, following heavy rains and subsequent flooding in the southern districts of the state, which is affecting candidates, the board has decided to postpone the exam. A request was made to the Chief Minister to postpone the examination, and after his approval, the board deferred the exam date in a bid to provide convenience for the applicants and also to the employees in affected areas.

Candidates who are willing to appear for the examination can go to the official website of Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board at www.trb.tn.gov.in and download the admit card. In addition to that, the board aims to fill up a total of 2,222 posts in the organisation under this recruitment drive.
