Rajasthan Public Service Commission, Ajmer

Rajasthan Public Service commission was established on 16th August 1949. Rajasthan Public Service Commission has had a glorious past of nearly 50 years. Rajasthan Public Service Commission is the premier commission of the Government of Rajasthan, for organizing recruitment exams, procedures for recruiting employees, officers to various departments of the government. During 1923, the Lee Commission had recommended setting up of a Central Public Service Commission in India, but it did not give much thought to the need of establishing similar commissions in provinces.

It was left largely to the discretion of provincial Governments to recruit and exercise control over their Services, as they thought proper. At the time of formation of Rajasthan, the institution of Public Service Commission existed in only three of the twenty-two covenanting states viz. Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner. It provided for the abolition of the PSCs or other institution performing duties in the nature of those of a PSC in the constituent states. The ordinance also provided inter-alia, for the composition of the Commission, the staff and the functions of the Commission.
