Who has been entrusted with the task of conducting the process of recruitment of the civil servants for the government of India?

The Union Public Service Commission

The correct answer is Option 4 - The Union Public Service Commission

The Union Public Service Commission has been entrusted with the task of conducting the process of recruitment of civil servants for the government of India.

The Indian bureaucracy today is an enormously complex system. It consists of the All-India services, State services, employees of the local governments, and technical and managerial staff running public sector undertakings. Makers of our Constitution were aware of the importance of the non-partisan and professional bureaucracy. They also wanted the members of the civil services or bureaucracy to be impartially selected on the basis of merit. So, the Union Public Service Commission has been entrusted with the task of conducting the process of recruitment of the civil servants for the government of India. Similar public service commissions are provided for the States also. Members of the Public Service Commissions are appointed for a fixed term. Their removal or suspension is subject to a thorough enquiry made by a judge of the Supreme Court.
