ABOUT SSC EXAMS

The Estimate Committee of Parliament, in its 47th Report (1967-68), recommended the setting up of

a Staff Selection Commission for conducting examinations for recruitment to lower categories of

posts. Subsequently an Examination Wing was initially added to the Secretariat Training School,

renamed as the Institute of Secretariat Training and Management ( ISTM).

In pursuance of the recommendations made by the Administration Reforms Commission (ARC), the

Government of India decided to constitute a Subordinate Services Commission under an Executive

Resolution. The Subordinate Services Commission was established under Government of India in the

year 1975. It was renamed as Staff Selection Commission.

The Staff Selection Commission makes recruitment to non-technical group ‘C’ and group ‘B’ non

gazetted posts in Ministries/ Departments, the attached and subordinate offices of the Government

of India and the C.A.G and the offices of the Accountant General.
