List of State Public Service Commission Exams

January 22, 2022 by Karan

Setting up a state public service commission at the provincial level was sanctioned by the Government of India Act, 1935. After the Indian Constitution came into force, the provincial establishments were granted constitutional status too. In lieu of the working of the Union Public Service Commission at the centre, the state governments are bestowed with overseeing the working of the State Public Service Commission. Articles 315 to 323 in Part XIV of the Indian constitution also deal with the different functionaries of the State Public Service Commission. The different working aspects include composition, the appointment of members, removal, and transfer of members, subjugating powers and functional authorities, and looking after that respective state’s independence.

The Chairman or other members could also be removed from office on the grounds of misbehaviour or bad conduct. In such cases, normally, the President has to refer the matter to higher levels at the Supreme Court.

Reappointment after retirementA chairperson who has previously served a term cannot continue under the same PSC, and he could be appointed as chairman or some other PSC or JPSC or chairman/ member of UPSC.

A member cannot be re-appointed in the same PSC, and he could serve as the chairman under the same PSC in his successive term. He could also serve as the chairman or member of other PSC/ JPSC or UPSC.

Functions of State Public Service Commission

Just like how UPSC performs a specific set of functions at the central level, the same functionaries are delegated and carried out by the State Public Service Commission at their respective states. In a nutshell, the State PSCs are bestowed with the following responsibilities:

  • State level examinations for appointment of candidates to various services in the state.
  • With regard to the department of personnel management, the following decisions shall be considered after due consultation:
  • Different methods of selection and recruitment to appoint candidates for various state civil services and civil posts.
    • Guiding principles to be followed while conducting the examinations.
    • Guidelines while offering transfers and promotions from one service to another.
    • Matters of general discipline and conduct.

Here, it is to be noted that State Public Service recommendations are regarded as advisory, and they are not deemed as final and binding.
