One of my friends, who was
studying for IAS in Delhi, said that whenever he or his
colleagues at the coaching institute passed by Shah Jehan
Road and this building, they did a 'namaskar' - this was
their mandir, their shrine. Every aspirant dreams of
coming to this building for the final Interview, and
dreams of clearing that last hurdle. |

UPSC
performs many functions, but in its role as a recruiting agency for
the civil services in the country, as well as various defence
services, it touches the lives of millions of highly educated youths
throughout the country. Right from publishing the Notification for the
Preliminary Exams, to the issuing of the admit cards, to the actual
supervision of the exam at hundreds of centres spread all over the
country, each of us comes across the UPSC. An agency like UPSC at
the national level is present in almost all nations where the bureaucracy is
based on meritocracy. From a group of eligible aspirants, such an agency has
the unenviable task of choosing the best to serve the purposes of the
country. The UPSC is a constitutional authority as its formation is mandated
by the Constitution of India. Part XIV guides the working of the UPSC.
Please read Part XIV to get a better perception of the UPSC. The UPSC
also maintains a handsome section on its official site at
http://upsc.gov.in
detailing its history, and counting its responsibilities. Instead of
enumerating them for you, why not listen direct from the horse's mouth?
