Staff Selection Commission
The Staff Selection Commission recruits for Group B and Group C posts across central government ministries, departments and offices — the work that does not go through UPSC. It was set up on 4 November 1975 as the Subordinate Services Commission and took its present name on 26 September 1977, when its brief widened beyond subordinate posts. It is an attached office of the Department of Personnel and Training, headquartered in New Delhi, and runs a separate examination for each category of post it fills — CGL for graduate-level posts, CHSL for Class 12 level, and others for specific recruitments such as Junior Engineers or Constables in the central armed police forces.
