In a first, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) will prompt educational and professional institutions about recruitment advertisements as many vacancies remained unfulfilled due to lack of information among jobseekers.
UPSC does the recruitment to fill Group A and Group B gazetted posts in Ministries and Departments of the Government of India and conducts regular examinations. Depending on the nature of duties, these recruitments require essential qualifications of educational and experience criteria.
Ajay Kumar, Chairman, UPSC said, “Apart from our regular examinations, UPSC receives recruitment requests from various Ministries and Departments for various government positions. To streamline and expedite the process, we are ensuring that the requests are received well in advance within a three-month window, from January to March, so that the process is planned in a better manner by clubbing similar recruitment cases and holding their common tests to complete the recruitment drive in a time-bound manner.”
The Commission receives over 200 recruitment proposals annually which are subsequently advertised online. In 2025, over 240 recruitment cases have been received, ranging across medical, scientific, engineering, technical, legal, teaching, and specialised posts (management, finance, accounts, forensic audit etc. related), mostly at Group A and Group B Gazetted levels, the UPSC said. Presently, it advertises recruitment process through Employment News, its official website and official LinkedIn account.
