What is TN SSLC Tatkal Scheme?
The TN SSLC Tatkal Scheme — officially the Special Permission Scheme — is a short emergency window opened by DGE Tamil Nadu after the regular supplementary exam registration period ends. It gives students who failed or were absent in the SSLC March–April 2026 public examination one final opportunity to register for the supplementary exam by paying an additional ?500 Tatkal surcharge on top of the standard fee.
A significant exemption applies for the 2026 cycle: students from Government and Government-Aided Schools who studied in the March–April 2026 academic session and failed or were absent are not required to pay the ?500 Tatkal surcharge under a Tamil Nadu government order. For these students, only the standard fee of ?125 per subject plus ?70 online fee is payable.
