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). The Government of India decided to constitute a Subordinate Services Commission under an Executive Resolution in pursuance of the recommendations made by the Administration Reforms Commission (ARC). The Commission manages requirements of non-technical posts by different Departments and selection of personnel either by joint recruitment or through a recruitment board. The Subordinate Services Commission was established under Government of India in the year 1975. It was later renamed as Staff Selection Commission. Later  new constitution and functions of the Staff Selection Commission came into effect in the year 1999. The Staff Selection Commission is an attached office of the Department of Personnel and Training and comprises of Chairman, two Members and a Secretary-cum-Controller of Examinations who are appointed on such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the Central Government. 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.
