The Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board (TNUSRB) is poised to release revised results for the recruitment of Sub-Inspectors of Police (Taluka and Armed Force) after acknowledging a significant software error. The initial results, published on January 27, 2026, for the 1299 available posts, were found to have miscategorized certain candidates, necessitating a full rectification and re-publication, which is expected shortly.
This development impacts thousands of candidates who participated in the written examination held on December 21, 2025, across Tamil Nadu. The Board’s official notice confirms that the revised results will address a glitch that primarily affected candidates who had opted to change their quota from ‘Open Quota’ to ‘Departmental Quota’ following a new government order.
Software Glitch Prompts TNUSRB Result Rectification
The Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board formally announced that the previously published results for the Sub-Inspector of Police – 2025 recruitment, released just two days prior on January 27, 2026, contained a software-related error. According to the Board, this glitch inadvertently excluded certain candidates from the Departmental Quota list, instead considering them under the Open Quota.
This specific issue arose for candidates who had exercised their option to switch quotas, a provision made available pursuant to G.O.(Ms) No.410, dated August 18, 2025. This government order introduced a common examination for both Departmental and Open candidates, a change that appears to have contributed to the software’s misinterpretation of candidate preferences. The Board emphasized that this error has made the rectification of the initial results an absolute necessity.
Recruitment Drive for 1299 Sub-Inspector Posts
The current recruitment drive aims to fill a total of 1299 posts for Sub-Inspectors of Police, encompassing both Taluka and Armed Force branches within the Tamil Nadu police force. The selection process for these critical roles involves multiple stages, beginning with a written examination, followed by physical tests, and ultimately a medical round.
The written examination, a crucial phase in this selection process, was conducted on December 21, 2025. Following the exam, the Board initially published results based on a 1:5 ratio, meaning five candidates were shortlisted for every available post. However, the recently identified software error has now put a temporary hold on further proceedings until the revised results are made public.
Accessing the Revised TNUSRB SI Results
Candidates awaiting the revised results are strongly advised to regularly visit the official website of the Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board, tnusrb.tn.gov.in. The Board has indicated that the download link for the revised result PDF will be shared on this platform shortly. To access their results, candidates will typically need their login credentials from the time of application.
The process for downloading the results is expected to follow standard procedures: navigate to the official website, locate the result link for ‘TNUSRB SI Result 2025’, enter the required login details, and then download the displayed result. Candidates should ensure they keep a hard copy of their result for future reference in the subsequent stages of the selection process.
The prompt and transparent acknowledgement of a software error by the TNUSRB underscores the growing complexities of large-scale digital recruitment processes and the critical importance of robust technical infrastructure to ensure fairness and accuracy for thousands of applicants.
