Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

A constitutional body (Articles 315–323) that conducts exams to recruit for elite civil services: IAS, IPS, IFS, among others. Led by a chairperson and members appointed by the President, UPSC advises on service matters like promotions and discipline. Its autonomy ensures merit-based selections, crucial for maintaining the administrative apparatus’s integrity and competency. The Commission’s functions extend to direct recruitment, departmental promotions, and framing/examining recruitment rules. UPSC members enjoy secure tenures to shield them from political pressure. Through rigorous exam processes and interviews, it molds India’s bureaucratic leadership, upholding neutrality and efficiency in governance.
