What Is TGPSC One-Time Registration (OTR)?
The One Time Registration (OTR) is an online registration system released by TGPSC to allow for the simplification of the TGPSC recruitment process for the applicants. Candidates only need to submit their personal, educational, and communication details one time to TGPSC, and these will be filled in automatically when the candidates apply for other recruitment plans from the TGPSC.
As a permanent record for the applicant, the OTR is required for the submission of all other applications to the TGPSC for recruitment.
