Tanzania Public Service College (TPSC) is receiving applications for admission to programmes offered in the 2026/2027 academic year through its Online Application System, commonly known as OAS. Prospective students can create and manage applications electronically, pay the required application fee using a Control Number and seek help from TPSC campus or admissions teams when necessary. Applicants should confirm current deadlines directly on the official portal before submitting.
TPSC Online Application System for 2026/2027
The Tanzania Public Service College uses its Online Application System to manage applications from candidates seeking admission to its academic programmes.
Apply directly through: https://oas.tpsc.go.tz/login/
Applicants should use that official TPSC address rather than links circulated through unofficial social media pages, WhatsApp groups or unknown websites. TPSC’s own previous admission notices also direct applicants to the OAS portal when accessing application and admission services.
The college operates campuses in Dar es Salaam, Tabora, Mtwara, Singida, Tanga and Mbeya. Its 2026/2027 admission information covers programmes at different qualification levels, while entry requirements depend on the programme selected.
This matters for applicants because eligibility cannot safely be judged from the programme name alone. A Form Four, Form Six, certificate or diploma qualification may qualify a candidate for some programmes but not others.
Before choosing a course, read the current admission requirements displayed by TPSC.
How to Apply Through the TPSC OAS Portal
The application process is online. TPSC instructs applicants to follow the directions presented at each stage of the portal and to read programme admission requirements before making their choices.
Applicants should prepare their academic information before starting. Secondary-school candidates, for example, should have the correct examination index details available, while applicants using higher qualifications should ensure their academic records match the information entered into the system.
A practical application sequence is:
- Visit the official TPSC OAS portal.
- Select the option to start an application where available.
- Enter the required academic and personal information accurately.
- Review the admission requirements for the programme you want.
- Select an eligible programme and campus.
- Follow the portal instructions to generate the required payment Control Number.
- Pay the application fee through an approved channel.
- Return to the application account and complete every required stage.
- Check the submitted information carefully before final submission.
- Keep your login credentials, payment confirmation and application details for future reference.
TPSC says payments linked to the application Control Number can be made using mobile-money services such as M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa and Airtel Money, as well as through banks or bank agents.
Do not send application money to an individual’s personal mobile number simply because somebody claims they can secure admission.
Check Your Eligibility Before Applying
A candidate should be able to answer these questions before submitting an application:
- Do I meet the academic entry requirements for my chosen programme?
- Are my examination numbers and academic details correct?
- Am I applying through the genuine TPSC domain?
- Have I selected the right campus and programme level?
- Have I generated the payment instructions from the official system?
- Can I access the phone number and account details I am using during registration?
- Have I saved proof of payment and my application credentials?
TPSC’s published 2026/2027 admission material shows that entry qualifications differ by programme. For example, some certificate programmes accept holders of the Certificate of Secondary Education Examination with the prescribed passes, while higher-level programmes carry separate qualification requirements.
That distinction is especially relevant in Tanzania, where applicants often submit applications to several institutions during the same admission period. A course that accepts a candidate at one institution does not automatically mean an equivalent-sounding programme elsewhere has identical requirements.
Read first. Pay second.
TPSC Bachelor Degree Round I Deadline: Verify Before Applying
Applicants should pay special attention to the deadline shown on the live application system.
The supplied application information states August 22, 2026 as the Bachelor Degree Round I deadline. A recent crawl of the official TPSC OAS portal, though, displayed August 10, 2026 for Bachelor Degree Round I.
Since August 10, 2026 has already passed, applicants should not assume that a Round I application remains open solely because an older notice or screenshot shows another date.
Visit the live portal and check the currently available application round before paying any fee:
Visit the official portal at: https://oas.tpsc.go.tz/login/
Applicants can also monitor the TPSC announcements section for new admission rounds, deadline changes or lists of selected candidates. TPSC has historically published admissions in stages: its 2025 records, for example, included separate Round I and Round II selection announcements.
For students who miss one round, that history offers useful context, but it does not guarantee another round in 2026. Only an official TPSC notice should be treated as confirmation.

Avoid Fake TPSC Application Links and Admission Scams
Admission periods attract fake links, self-appointed agents and misleading social-media posts. Applicants should therefore verify that the web address belongs to TPSC before entering examination numbers, passwords or payment information.
The official college website is https://www.tpsc.go.tz/, while the official Online Application System is hosted under the TPSC domain at https://oas.tpsc.go.tz/login/.
Be suspicious of anyone promising guaranteed admission in exchange for money. Applicants should also avoid sharing passwords or payment credentials with people offering to “help” complete an application remotely.
For Tanzanian students applying by smartphone, one simple precaution matters: save screenshots or electronic records of the Control Number, successful payment and final application status. These records can help when following up on a technical or payment problem.
TPSC applicants for 2026/2027 should use the official OAS portal, confirm their programme eligibility and verify the active application deadline before making payment. With conflicting Bachelor Round I dates appearing between supplied material and the recently indexed official portal, checking the live TPSC system is the safest next move.
