Staff Selection Commission (SSC)
Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is an organisation under Government of India to recruit staff for various posts in the various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India and in Subordinate Offices.
This commission is an attached office of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) which consists of Chairman, two Members and a Secretary-cum-Controller of Examinations. His post is equivalent to the level of Additional Secretary to the Government of India.
The Estimates committee in the Parliament recommended the setting up of a
Service Selection Commission in its 47th report (1967–68) for conducting
examinations to recruit lower categories of posts. Later, in the Department of
Personnel and Administrative Reforms, on 4 November 1975 Government of India
constituted a commission called Subordinate Service Commission. On 26
September 1977, Subordinate Services Commission was renamed as Staff Selection
Commission. The functions of Staff Selection Commission were redefined by The
Government of India through Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and on 21
May 1999. Then the new constitution and functions of Staff Selection
Commission (SSC) came into effect from 1 June 1999. Every year SSC conducts
the SSC Combined Graduate Level Examination for recruiting non-gazetted
officers to various government jobs.
