The Directorate of govt Examinations has set up a help desk for students and parents. Candidates with doubts or queries regarding the results may contact the helpline number 14417.

Political observers said the resort meeting isn't just about protection, its about resolving a deep internal divide.

VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan and Left party leaders criticized Tamil Nadu Governor R. V. Arlekar for not inviting TVK leader Vijay to form the government. They alleged this was a BJP-led Union government attempt to complicate state politics and Vijay's position, calling the Governor's action unacceptable and unconstitutional.

Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu has called for fresh elections in Tamil Nadu, advocating for strict enforcement against cash for votes. He believes actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has a clear mandate and should form the government, suggesting new polls would result in a super majority for the party.

Chennai police heightened security at Marina Beach, deploying personnel and barricades to prevent potential protests by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam supporters. The party, led by Vijay, won 108 seats but awaits an invitation to form the government. Authorities aim to maintain order and deter unauthorized gatherings.

Amidst a fractured political landscape, VCK's Sinthanai Selvan urged DMK and AIADMK to back Thol Thirumavalavan for Chief Minister, citing a need for stability. He argued against a 'star-driven' leader, advocating for Thirumavalavan's experience to prevent populist capture and foster hope for the masses in Tamil Nadu.

AIADMK withdrew its unconditional support offer to TVK for government formation after prolonged silence from the latter. Discussions had begun Tuesday, but TVK's unresponsiveness, especially after Congress offered conditional backing, led to the talks' abrupt end. AIADMK leaders dismissed any alliance with DMK, awaiting decisions from VCK, CPI, and CPM.

The first bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan, through an order dated April 8, has directed the registry to list the case for deciding its maintainability.

Munusamy stated that the media was spreading misinformation suggesting that the AIADMK would extend support to Vijays party.

Before taking oath as chief minister for the fifth time, Rangasamy visited the Sri Sadhguru Appa Paithiyam Swamigal Temple in Salem Suramangalam and placed the list of ministers before the statue of the late sage.

Tamil Nadu Congress leaders met with TVK president Vijay to offer support for forming the state government after a hung Assembly. The delegation, including TNCC president K Selvaperunthagai, conveyed the Congress Legislature Party and TNCC's backing for TVK to stake its claim.

AIADMK leaders S P Velumani and C Ve Shanmugam are meeting with General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami. They are discussing whether to support Vijay's TVK to form the government. Palaniswami is hesitant to offer voluntary support. The AIADMK has lost its opposition status after a significant drop in seats.

Ending an 11-year partnership with the DMK, the Congress party has pledged support to TVK to form the government in Tamil Nadu. This crucial backing comes with a firm condition: no communal forces will be part of the alliance. Congress aims to revive a spirit of mutual respect and shared responsibility, potentially impacting the national INDIA bloc.
