ABOUT UPSC

The Constitution of India visualizes the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to be the ‘watch dog of merit system’ in the country. The provisions regarding the public service commissions are contained from Article 315 to Article 323. The UPSC is India’s central recruiting agency. It is responsible for appointments to and examinations for All India services and Group A & Group B of Central Services. The agency’s charter is granted by Part XIV of the Constitution of India, titled as Services under the Union and the States. Established on 1 October 1926 as Public Service Commission, it was later reconstituted as Federal Public Service Commission by the Government of India Act, 1935; only to be renamed as today’s Union Public Service Commission after the independence.
The commission is headquartered at Dholpur House, in New Delhi and functions though its own secretariat. Indeed, the UPSC Civil Services Examinations is one of the toughest examinations in the world.
