The first Public Service Commission was set up on October 1st, 1926. However, its limited advisory functions failed to satisfy the people’s aspirations and the continued stress on this aspect by the leaders of our freedom movement resulted in the setting up of the Federal Public Service Commission under the Government of India Act 1935. Under this Act, for the first time, provision was also made for the formation of Public Service Commissions at the provincial level. </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="verdana" color="black">The Constituent Assembly, after independence, saw the need for giving a secure and autonomous status to Public Service Commissions both at Federal and Provincial levels for ensuring unbiased recruitment to Civil Services as also for protection of service interests. With the promulgation of the new Constitution for independent India on 26th January, 1950, the Federal Public Service Commission was accorded a constitutional status as an autonomous entity and given the title – Union Public Service Commission <strong>Constitutional Provisions</strong>  </font></p>

<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="verdana" color="black">Under Article 320 of the Constitution of India, the Commission are, inter-alia, required to be consulted on all matters relating to recruitment to civil services and posts. </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="verdana" color="black"><strong>RECRUITMENT is made by one of the following three methods:</strong></p>
<li>Direct Recruitment;</li>
<li>Promotion</li>
<li>Transfer
<p align="justify">DIRECT RECRUITMENT is conducted broadly under the following two methods:</p>
</li>
<li>Recruitment by competitive examination.</li>
<li>Recruitment by selection through interview.
<p align="justify"><strong>RECRUITMENT BY COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION</strong></p>
<p align="justify">Under the Constitution one of the functions of the Commission is to conduct examinations for appointment to Civil Services/Posts of the Union. In addition, competitive examinations are also held by the Commission under arrangements with the Ministry of Defence for entry to certain Defence Services, through the National Defence Academy, Indian Military Academy, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy and the Officers Training Academy.</p>
<p align="justify">The Commission usually conducts over a dozen examinations every year on an all India basis. These include Examinations for recruitment to services/posts in various fields, such as Civil Services, Engineering, Medical and Forest Service, etc.</p>
<p align="justify">For an overview of examinations regularly held by the Commission. See &#8220;Overview of Examination&#8221; under this Chapter.</p>

<p align="justify"><strong>Recruitment by Selection is made by the following methods:</strong></p>
</li>
<li>By Interview Only</li>
<li>By Recruitment Test Followed By Interview</li>
<li>BY INTERVIEW ONLY
<p align="justify">Where the number of applicants is very large, it is not practicable to call for Interview all the applicants who fulfill the minimum eligibility conditions prescribed. The Commission, therefore, shortlist the candidates to be called for the interview on the basis of certain pre-determined criteria related to the job. A large number of recruitment cases is handled by the Commission by the method (1) above.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>BY WRITTEN TEST FOLLOWED BY INTERVIEW</strong></p>
<p align="justify">In this category, there are two types of procedure followed:</p>
<p align="justify">An objective-type written and/or practical test to test the skill of the candidates followed by Interview, the final selection being decided by Interview, aided by the performance of the candidates in the written test and/or practical test.</p>
<p align="justify">An objective-type written and/or practical test to screen candidates to be called for interview, the final selection being decided by Interview only.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Appointment By Promotion And Transfer On Deputation/Transfer</strong></p>

<p align="justify">The Recruitment Rules for a number of posts provide for appointment by Transfer on Deputation (including short term contract) and Transfer. When the field of consideration consists of Central Government as well as State  officers, prior consultation with the Commission is necessary for selection of an officer. When the file for consideration is made more broad-based and consists of not only Central/State Government officers but also officers from Non-Government Institutions, the selection has to be made in consultation with the Union Public Service Commission.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>All India Services</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The All India Services Act, 1951 and Rules and Regulations framed thereunder regulate the recruitment and conditions of service in respect of the All India Services viz. Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service.</p>
<p align="justify">As far as direct recruitment to the Indian Administrative Service and Indian Police Service Examination are concerned, it is done through the Civil Services Examination and for the Indian Forest Service through the Indian Forest Service Examination held by the Commission.</p>
<p align="justify">The relevant Rules and Regulations provide that 33% of the vacancies in the IAS/IPS/IFS should be filled by promotion from amongst the officers of the State Service in consultation with the Commission. The Selection Committee presided over by Chairman/Member of the Commission consists of senior Government representatives of the Central Government and the State.</p>

<p align="justify">The Commission have recently undertaken a project called &#8220;SAMPERA&#8221; (Screening and Mechanised Processing of Examination and Recruitment Applications). A simplified single sheet common application form for all the examinations has been devised which will be scanned by using OMR/ICR technology. The implementation of this project will mainly help in high speed scanning of data from forms eliminating manual entry. Other benefits will be accurate and faster generation of Admit Cards, Attendance lists with photo replica and signature facsimile of each candidate, and Error-free list of doubtful cases. The main aim of this project is to cope with the increasing volume of applications through innovations and mechanised handling so as to reduce the processing time and send communications faster to minimised errors. The cases of impersonation/malpractices will also be eliminated and wasteful expenditure will be reduced.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>RECRUITMENT RULES</strong></p>
<p align="justify">In accordance with the provisions contained in Article 320 of the Constitution read with the provisions of Union Public Service Commission (Exemption from Consultation) Regulations 1958, Recruitment Rules of all Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B&#8221; posts in various Ministries/Departments of Government of India are required to be framed in Consultation with the Commission.

<p align="justify"><strong>EXEMPTIONS</strong></p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="justify">In order to exempt some posts which for reasons of National Security or some other reasons may not be required to be referred to the Commission for their advice, the Union Public Service Commission (Exemption from Consultations) Regulations were issued on September 1, 1958, under Article 320(3)(a) and (b) of the Constitution.
