What is the Eligibility for TNSCPS Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification and Experience
| Post | Qualification | Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Program Officer | PG degree in one of the listed subjects, OR graduate in the same subjects; proficiency in computers | None for the PG route; 2 years in project formulation, implementation, monitoring and supervision for the graduate route |
| Accounts Officer | Not stated in the notice | Not stated in the notice |
| Accountant | Graduate in Commerce / Mathematics; computer skills and command on Tally | At least 1 year in the desired field |
| Assistant cum DEO | 12th pass with Diploma / Certificate in Computers | At least 1 year with a Govt. / Non-Government Organisation |

For the Program Officer post, the listed subjects are Social Work, Sociology, Child Development, Human Rights, Public Administration, Psychology, Psychiatry, Law, Public Health and Community Resource Management, from a recognised university. The graduate route asks for experience preferably in Woman and Child Development or Social Welfare.
The IT Supervisor’s experience can come from government, non-governmental or IT-based organisations. If you are a graduate looking for a government job, four of these seven posts ask for a degree. If you have only passed 12th class, look at the Assistant cum DEO and Account Assistant posts.
One important point about the Accounts Officer post. It appears in the vacancy table with a pay of ₹23,170, but the notice gives no qualification and no age limit for it, and it is not listed among the posts on the printed application form. Please check with the Directorate before you apply for it.
Age Limit
| Post | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| Program Officer, Accountant, Assistant cum DEO, Account Assistant, Program Assistant | Not exceeding 42 years |
| IT Supervisor | 60 years |
| Accounts Officer | Not stated in the notice |

The application form asks for your age as on 01.08.2026, so calculate it on that date. The notice does not mention any category-wise age relaxation. For the 42-year posts, preference will be given to candidates with relevant knowledge or experience. For IT Supervisor, preference goes to those with prior experience in a Child Help Line or any other emergency helpline service.
What is the Salary for TNSCPS Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Consolidated Pay per Month |
|---|---|
| Program Officer | ₹34,755 |
| IT Supervisor | ₹33,000 |
| Accounts Officer | ₹23,170 |
| Accountant | ₹18,536 |
| Assistant cum DEO | ₹13,240 |
| Account Assistant | ₹13,240 |
| Program Assistant (SARA) | ₹13,240 |
This is a consolidated pay, which means one fixed amount every month. The notice does not list any separate allowances on top of it. Since these are contract jobs, there is no regular pay scale here. Still, work in a state child protection body gives you real experience in social welfare, accounts and data handling.
If you qualify for more than one post, compare the pay and the experience asked. For example, a commerce graduate with Tally skills and one year of work can try the Accountant post at ₹18,536, while a 12th-pass commerce candidate fits the Account Assistant post at ₹13,240.
What is the Selection Process for TNSCPS Recruitment 2026?
The press release does not describe how candidates will be selected. It only lists the posts, eligibility, age limit and job duties. So keep checking the official website after the last date for any further update. Meanwhile, read the job duties in the notification for your post, because they tell you what the office expects from you on day one.
In short, the Program Officer assists the Programme Manager with child protection work, training and awareness activities at state and district level. The Accounts Officer and Accountant handle budgets, books of accounts, bank reconciliation and fund reports under Mission Vatsalya, working on SNA SPARSH. The Assistant cum DEO and Program Assistant keep databases, registers, monthly reports, tappals and e-office files up to date. The IT Supervisor keeps the Child Helpline running, prepares MIS reports and monitors call quality, while keeping every child’s details confidential. If these tasks match what you already do, mention that experience clearly in your form.
