Joint State Public Service Commission (JSPSC)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Formed by an agreement among multiple states desiring a single recruitment agency for common services, with the President’s authorization. Its composition mirrors UPSC but caters to multiple states simultaneously. JSPSC eliminates duplication in recruitment, streamlining the selection process and reducing administrative costs. Members are appointed by the President after consultation with concerned Governors. This unique mechanism fosters inter-state collaboration and uniform standards in civil services. Although not widely adopted, it symbolizes cooperative federalism in managing state resources. Challenges include coordinating differing state service rules or local reservations, underscoring the complexity of joint recruitment frameworks.
