Quick Summary
Telangana's public service commission (formerly widely known as TSPSC, now operating as TGPSC) requires a One Time Registration before candidates can apply to any of its recruitment notifications.
TSPSC's recruitment activities have transitioned to the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) naming; if you registered earlier under TSPSC, use the same OTR credentials rather than registering again.
Overview
Also searched as: One Time Registration TSPSC · One Time Registration TGPSC
Telangana Public Service Commission (TSPSC/TGPSC) runs its own One Time Registration (OTR) system, separate from every other state or central recruitment body. Once you complete OTR here, the same registration number carries forward to future TSPSC/TGPSC recruitment cycles, so you don't need to refill your personal and educational details each time a new notification is released.
Official Portal & Login
TSPSC/TGPSC OTR registration and login is done through the commission's own official website — otr.tgpsc.gov.in. TSPSC's recruitment functions now continue under the Telangana Public Service Commission's TGPSC branding, with OTR handled on the tgpsc.gov.in domain — use your existing OTR ID if you registered previously, rather than creating a duplicate profile. Always type the URL directly or search for it rather than clicking links from unofficial messages, since fake look-alike portals are a common scam around exam season.
Portal names, URLs and OTR requirements change from time to time. Cross-check the current link and any active notification on TSPSC/TGPSC's official website before entering personal details or paying a fee.

Important Dates
TGPSC OTR itself does not have a fixed deadline — it can typically be completed any time. Individual exam notifications (Group 1, Group 2, Group 4 and others) each carry their own separate application window; check the notification for exact dates.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Each state or commission — including TSPSC/TGPSC — runs a separate OTR system. A registration number from one portal cannot be used on another.
Most portals allow limited correction of contact details and photo/signature before a specific notification's application window closes. Core details like date of birth may need a formal correction request. Check the current correction-window rules on the official site.
One Time Registration itself is typically free; category-based or exam-specific application fees are charged separately when you apply to a specific notification. Confirm current fee rules on the official portal.
Conclusion
Completing TSPSC/TGPSC OTR early — well before an exam notification is released — is the single easiest way to avoid last-day registration rush and technical errors. Keep your registration number and login password saved somewhere permanent.
